Vicki..So far I have only read 50 pages. It is only discussing the neighbors and some secrets so far. Can't wait to get into the meat of the book.
I started too. I didn't get very far yet either. I like how it is describing all the neighbors and the little tidbits about them. This seems like it will be a juicy one!Do you want to post updates with the page/chapters number and spoilers as we read along? That way we can go at our own pace without worrying.
That sounds good. I am just starting chapter 13. Where are you?
I am in Chapter 6. I was totally wondering about (view spoiler)
Seriously though, these women remind me of how my friends and I were when our children were little. Just SOOO happy to get a few minutes of friend time and some wine. lol
I am now on chapter 19 and Clara's trauma is still a mystery. Wait until you see what Hallie does.
Welcome...please join the discussion.
I have no idea who is speaking in the italicized. I'm glad you brought that up. Now, I am going to think about that. I don't think that Izzy had an affair with Josh. I just think it was just a friendship on his part.
I am starting chapter 29. So far no hint as to the disappearance of Kristen. Can't stop reading. I wonder what happened.
I finished it. Looking forward to discussing it with you.
Got caught up in another read.Will get back to this one this weekend.
Sorry Patricia! I am usually a better buddy reader than this.
I am planning on reading some tonight so we can discuss.
No hurry. I am reading the last of
. Wow, Iceland's executions were brutal.

The book had a very bleak atmosphere. The author did a great job with that.

I am very curious about what Clara's issue was! And why Benny is so concerned for her.
Not sure about Izzy and her attraction to Pa..."
The ending is a surprise. I bet you would not guess it.
I finished.Great book!
I was surprised at the ending. Even a little sad, but i thought it fit the story well.
That was fun. I will be willing to do a buddy read in the future although our books are not the same this month. I am currently reading
which tells of a serial killer in So. Central L.A. in the 80's.
Sounds good. We will read in the future!

Not That I Could Tell (other topics)
When a group of neighborhood women gathers, wine in hand, around a fire pit where their backyards meet one Saturday night, most of them are just ecstatic to have discovered that their baby monitors reach that far. It’s a rare kid-free night, and they’re giddy with it. They drink too much, and the conversation turns personal.
By Monday morning, one of them is gone.
Everyone knows something about everyone else in the quirky small Ohio town of Yellow Springs, but no one can make sense of the disappearance. Kristin was a sociable twin mom, college administrator, and doctor’s wife who didn’t seem all that bothered by her impending divorce—and the investigation turns up more questions than answers, with her husband, Paul, at the center. For her closest neighbor, Clara, the incident triggers memories she thought she’d put behind her—and when she’s unable to extract herself from the widening circle of scrutiny, her own suspicions quickly grow. But the neighborhood’s newest addition, Izzy, is determined not to jump to any conclusions—especially since she’s dealing with a crisis of her own.
As the police investigation goes from a media circus to a cold case, the neighbors are forced to reexamine what’s going on behind their own closed doors—and to ask how well anyone really knows anyone else.
