Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for a copy of Cathryn Grant The Good Neighbor.

Who in this story can you trust? Taylor seems to be kind and willing to help. But is she really? And Moira...... I got a really bad feeling about her from the start. When everything comes to light it’s far worse than I thought or could have imagined. I’m not even sure if Brittany is as innocent as one would believe.
Great story. I was hooked from the start and couldn’t stop reading.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the advance ecopy. This book is full of suspense and mystery. The secrets are non-stop. Brittany has disappeared without a trace and her mother Moira stops at nothing to find her. This book is told in each characters perspective. Lots of twists and turns! Will keep you hooked until the very end.

I will rate The Good Neighbor by Cathryn Grant a 2/5 stars. This book just did not do it for me. There wasn't anything remotely thrilling about it. It was awfully slow paced. It read terribly, in my honest opinion and was boring. The characters were dry and not in the least bit realistic. I would not recommend this book to anyone else, but if this is your type of read, go for it.

A psychological thriller about the past of a family that follows them wherever they go. Brittany a fourteen year old has vanished from her home. All the neighbors in her cul de sac rally around to find the missing girl. Taylor one of the neighbors makes it her mission to organize and get the neighborhood involved in the search. She hates the situation but loves how the neighborhood has come together.
Taylor opens a Facebook page in the Hope's that there will be some sightings of Brittany and that they will be shared by others. It seems to be going well until a woman claims that she is actually Brittany's real mom. That Brittany was kidnapped when she was four. As Taylor tries to navigate through what is real and what isn't, she discovers that things aren't always how they appear and people are not who they say they are.
A plot of twists and turns that makes you keep reading till the very end.

The Good Neighbor is what I consider a beach read type of story. It is interesting enough to keep you reading but doesn’t require much thought to follow along and you definitely need to suspend belief that anyone in the story is going to behave in an even remotely realistic manner.
Brittany Cushing age 14 has gone missing from her bed in the middle of the night. Her parents Moira and Alan are new to the CA neighborhood and have not gotten to know any of their new neighbors.
Taylor who seems like a typical neighborhood snoop who is always peeking out the windows and inserting herself into everyone’s business with the excuse of wanting to develop a sense of “ community” immediately becomes overly involved in the search for Brittany. She sets up a Facebook page and becomes obsessed with checking every nut who reports a sighting and responding to every comment. She invites herself into the Cushing s’ home and begins snooping.
The story is told from Moira, Taylor and Britney’s points of view and but by bit we learn there is something other than just an overprotective mother wrong in the Cushings household.
The ending was a bit forced and like most of the book required a suspension of belief. It is a quick pleasant read when you need a break between heavier books.
Thanks to #netgalley and #inkubatorbooks for the advance copy in exchange for my honest opinion.

2.75 rounded up

I chose to read The Good Neighbor because it was listed as my favorite kind of book-thriller! And it was absolutely thrilling.

The story follows a group of neighbors after a 13-year old girl who lives in their neighborhood is abducted from her room one night. I liked the plot lines- family secrets coming to life are so exciting! The characters were pretty well developed. And the twists were good, even if I did know they were coming.

This book was a fast read but the writing was clunky. The dialogue felt unnatural. I couldn't imagine people talking the way Moira, Taylor, etc. talked. I pretty much hated all the characters and found it difficult to empathize with them.

Pros: Fast paced story, shocking secrets revealed in a mysterious way, realistic characters who make you laugh

Cons: I couldn't get into it.

Nothing particularly is wrong with The Good Neighbor. In fact, for the most part, I enjoyed it. But I think I'm in another reading slump and not much appeals to me. This could just be a one-off, as I thought things were looking up. As always, I say let you decide for yourself and pick up a copy.

Wasn't an edge of seat read or a page turner for me, just an okay read which did take me a while to get into.

Thank you to Netgalley and Inkubator Books for giving me the opportunity to read this book.

New neighbors move into a tight community in California. Although the daughter, Brittany, is 14 years old, she is still being treated as if she were 7. Her old bed and other non-teen things still adorn her bedroom, she is home-schooled, not allowed to have friends outside of the home-school group, and only can go online with a parent present. Brittany ends up missing - she is all her mother has in her life. Taylor, a neighbor, sets up a FaceBook page to help find Brittany. The police are facing roadblocks with the investigation - particularly when they mention to the mother, that the case looks like a runaway.

Meanwhile, the FaceBook page Taylor is hosting for Brittany has people coming out of the woodwork and not to forget - a few threats...

A NOT TO MISS read!


Many Thanks to Inkubator books and NetGalley for a superb read!

This book was good, fast paced and kept me interested. I liked the story having multiple point of views. The only thing I didn’t like was the way the characters reacted to different types of scenarios going on. They were unrealistic and that would get me frustrated. Overall, it was a good book and the plot twist at the end shocked me!

Thank you to netgalley & Inkubator Books for the copy in exchange for the honest review! The Good Neighbor publishes on September 8th, 2019!

The use of telling the story from the perspectives of the difference characters is a great way to keep the reader involved in the story as well as help create some twists and turns that the reader might not see coming. There was lots of suspense and action that kept me engrossed. I will be looking for another book to read by Ms. Grant.

An excellent book! Had fun reading it, and kept me on my toes the whole time. Great character development and fascinating storyline.

This is a good physiological thriller. It took me a little while to get into it but after a few chapters I was hooked. The book is written in such a way to. throw the reader off track every time you think you have it figured out. I am surprised by the ending and I am not sure I find that part believable. All in all it a a good read and I definitely e it.

I received a digital advanced reader copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.


I don’t even know where to start! This book has left me speechless. I love all of the mystery and drama The Good Neighbor provided.

Personally, I love books that hop through different perspectives, it always keeps me guessing. The Good Neighbor really reminded me of Big Little Liesin a way… I found myself constantly second guessing characters, second guessing everyone’s motives, and not trusting ANYONE.

This was a fantastic mystery thriller. I am quite new to this specific genera, but this was one hell of an introduction.

If we completely disregard the fact that no one would ever act the way a single one of these characters did (which I'm surprisingly willing to do), then this was a super-fun, twisty good read.

This was a very interesting premise, and I will say I was very invested in finding out what had happened and what was going on.

The plot for this book is based around the disappearance of a 14 year old girl called Brittany, supposedly taken from her bed in the middle of the night. Her parents, Moira and Alan, are very quiet and closed off to the rest of the cul-de-sac community where they had recently moved to. We follow several people's point of view, including Brittany before she disappeared, so we can gradually get a sense of what was going on before. We also follow Taylor, a very nosy and community driven neighbour, who gets into other people's business on the street, but in a very well-meaning way. She involves herself in the case and things go on from there.

I didn't really connect with any of the characters, but they weren't there to be likeable. They were complicated and human, and very well written. I did like this story, I was kept up late into the night finishing it, but I did feel that the ending let down the story in a way as it felt rushed and a little out of nowhere - as if the author wasn't quite sure how to end it. But it was a solid read, and I do highly recommend it, if thrillers are your cup of tea.
