Summary

The instant New York Times bestseller

Star-crossed love will change two families' lives forever... Therese Anne Fowler's New York Times bestselling novel is perfect for fans of Celeste Ng's Little Fires Everywhere and Mary Beth Keane's Ask Again, Yes.

A forbidden romance is blossoming in the tight-knit community of Oak Knoll.

No one's realised it yet - they've been too busy watching the rich, white Whitman family move into their newly built house. They've been watching Brad Whitman, with his new money and apparently traditional values, fight his neighbour over the historic oak tree dividing their properties.

But what they haven't noticed is that the Whitman girl is falling in love with the biracial boy next door.

It is a love that will shatter the constructs of class and race in this small town.

It is a love that might destroy everything...

Critic reviews

"A feast of a read: compelling, heartbreaking, and inevitable. I finished A Good Neighborhood in a single sitting. Yes, it's that good." (Jodi Picoult)

"Compelling, complicated, timely, and smart...a full-hearted, unflinching indictment of a broken system and in so doing tells a story hard to put down and hard to forget." (Laurie Frankel, best-selling author of This is How It Always Is)

"This is a story that will stick with you for a long time." (Emily Giffin, number-one New York Times best-selling author of All We Ever Wanted)

Beautiful narration

Really enjoyed the narration to this story, easy listening and an enjoyable story.

I sort of wanted more from the ending, but overall I would recommend a read!

Excellent story

Really interesting development of the protagonists relationship and the underlying currents at home. How tragic the ending is but bittersweet....
