About this deal

I'm very happy with this arrangement. Sometimes I have ** twice a day. I get it with my neighbor in the morning and from my husband at night. What modern girl wouldn't love that? I found the twist to be fairly predictable and even the final epulogue to be completely unbelievable. Honestly it took me longer to get through this book than it should have just because I never felt really invested in the story or cared what happened to the characters. I love the idea that we see may not be the whole truth or the truth being stranger than anything we could imagine!

So many ways the story could have panned out and I have to say I was caught out many times (which was the author’s intent) and this kept me glued to the story until everything finally was revealed.Having a Kindle Unlimited subscription, I decided to give this book a go about an ideal break-up. Is there such a thing?

The book held so many layers and the title of the book held so much meaning. The wife could be referred to the main character Jane, the troubled woman across the garden, her mum from years ago or her mum's friend who helps her. This really added to the book for me and I loved how the women were such strong characters and who really stood up for not only each other but themselves. Jess and Rob have an amicable divorce. Parents to a son named Toby, one of the decisions they make is to move next-door to each other, although each of them now have new partners. What could possibly go wrong?THE JAPANESE WIFE NEXT DOOR was recommended to me by a couple different people who called it one of the dirtiest, nastiest and outright strangest movies ever made. I'm not a huge fan of the "Pinku" movies but I've seen enough to know that there's very little plot and mostly just silly sex and nudity. Hey, I've sat through enough softcore Cinemax movies to be okay with that but… Jane hears her neighbours Ashleigh and Evan having a violent argument which triggers memories of her own troubled childhood.

My Wife Next Door is a British sitcom created by Brian Clemens and written by Richard Waring. It was shown on BBC1 in 1972, and ran for 13 episodes.Wow!!!!... An absolutely fantastic unputdownable psychological thriller... It kept me on the edge of my seat and then in the edge of my bed until late at night as I just could not put it down!!!' Bookworm86 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This was pretty much soft core Japanese porn. I did absolutely no research on this film. I saw a review of the sequel and saw the word funny so I thought it may have been like… That said, I have a feeling most people will strongly disagree with my thoughts about the final chapter. Please bear that in mind if you’re considering reading this book. I loved 99% of it, so my dislike of the final 1% shouldn’t be given any undue emphasis. Two stories are told throughout the book; the 1970's where main protagonist Jane is a child and living a life of fear with her abusive father and mother, and in the now, where Jane is now living in her childhood home after the loss of her mother. Next door neighbours Evan and Ashleigh seem to have a pretty volatile relationship at times, but all is not as it seems on the surface.

As the description states - ‘Two Houses. Two front doors. One family’ What could possibly go wrong! This book was so unpredictable and full of so many twists and turns, which has made it into a fab thriller. The further in you get you realise how clever the writing is, luring you into the complex web of family, friendships, lies, betrayal and so much more.

That said, once I let go of that issue, I was invested and was swept along with the plot happily. It is fast paced, with creepy and chilling vibes throughout.
