About this listen

 Meet the new neighbours. Whose side are you on?

‘An exciting, dark novel about friendship; brutally truthful and raw’ Adele Parks, Sunday Times No. 1 bestselling author

Have you met The People at Number 9?

Sara and Neil have new neighbours in their street. Glamorous and chaotic, Gav and Lou make Sara’s life seem dull. As the two couples become friends, sharing suppers, red wine and childcare, it seems a perfect couples-match. But the more Sara sees of Gav and Lou, the more she longs to change her own life. But those changes will come at a price.

I really enjoyed this book both from the development of the characters and its narration. I found myself drawn into the characters, their everyday lives and the unfurling complexity of friendships

Loved it

This was well written and the characters so well drawn I felt I knew them. The narrator was very good and I enjoyed listening to this book as I did my chores over a few days.
However, I did want a bit more spite and bite that I felt was never delivered, and the denouement, that the main characters husband is drawn to the others wife was apparent a mile off. also the ending very weak and unfair on Neil considering sara spent most of her time lusting after the husband ! If there had been more backstabbing and evil intention played out, this would have been very good indeed, as it stands, the author bottles out and it is just merely a pleasant listen.

Enjoyable characters in situations we can all relate to

Well narrated but no story

Listening to this book became a chore. You wait for it to actually get to that point, but it doesn't, and then it ends. Very disappointing.

What the heck

In a few words, there is no story! In my opinion this at best is a short story. The characters lack any kind of depth, there are hints of a storyline (possible affair with Gav, what happened in Spain etc) but nothing comes of it. Utter waste of time!
