SYNOPSIS
Elena Richardson has lived her entire life in the safe little bubble of Shaker Heights, the picture-perfect community where everything, literally everythingโthe situation of the buildings, the color themes of their exterior, the layout of the roads & schools & shops, even the successful lives of its residentsโis planned beforehand.
Life is perfectly splendid, all until Elenaโs new tenantsโMia Warren & her teenage daughter, Pearlโwalk into her life, uprooting all she has ever known, challenging her understanding of the definition of family & motherhood, of love & relationships, and even her very own perception of herself.
REVIEW
The insanity of such idealism to exist in a community full of imperfectly flawed human beingsโespecially the very idea that everything should be preplanned beforehand, and that all that exists should follow a specific outline set in stoneโis such a vivd clarification of how badly we tend to desire perfection.
I loved the contrasting personality traits & backgrounds of Mia Warren & Elena Richardson, how the dynamics of their interactions ran deep beyond each of their perception & understanding, and especially how it impacted their children. As Iโve recently discovered that it has been made into a tv adaption, I cannot wait to see how it is portrayed on screen.
This most certainly is one of the books that stays with you for a long time, and I would recommend it if youโre looking for a read that takes you on a thoughtful journey, and urges you to reflect on your perception of everything youโve ever known.
