Hope Close

The setup reminded me a lot of Desperate Housewives which I used to love watching! I really enjoyed reading this book, it felt like starting with a jigsaw puzzle where all the pieces are initially scattered around but they all come together by the end. I love the way Tina makes things so intriguing in her books that you just want to keep turning the pages.

Nicole, the bored, lonely housewife whose children have all flown the nest and whose husband pays her little attention. The story is told from four POV’s – Layla, the unhappy housewife who has just had to agree to send her beloved son to boarding school.

I think this book would make a fantastic TV drama. As Andy wants to keep himself to himself and let his secrets remain in the past, I think he has picked the wrong neighbourhood to move too. Welcome to Hope Close a cul-de-sac in the countryside with just four houses, who’s occupants prove that so much more goes on behind closed doors! Then there’s Andy the new resident on Hope Close, who is fresh out of rehab and has a very mysterious past.

All very different types of people but one thing the ladies all have in common is that they are all very nosey neighbours! An awesome curtain twitcher read which bought out the nosey neighbour in me! It is the third book I have read of hers and each one I have been wowed and haven’t guessed the outcome. Joan, an elderly lady who seems to despise her husband and pretty much anyone or anything!

Thank you so much to Tina Seskis, Amazon/Lake Union Publishing & NetGalley for my ARC of this book. It was very easy to read, and the chapters flit perfectly between each character.
