'Just read it...Outstanding' Matt Haig 'To say I love this book is
an understatement...It moved me to tears' Reese Witherspoon
'Beautifully written, completely charming, and extremely wise on
the subject of adolescence and influence' Nick Hornby Everyone in
Shaker Heights was talking about it that summer: how Isabelle, the
last of the Richardson children, had finally gone around the bend
and burned the house down. In Shaker Heights, a placid, progressive
suburb of Cleveland, everything is meticulously planned - from the
layout of the winding roads, to the colours of the houses, to the
successful lives its residents will go on to lead. And no one
embodies this spirit more than Elena Richardson, whose guiding
principle is playing by the rules. Enter Mia Warren - an enigmatic
artist and single mother- who arrives in this idyllic bubble with
her teenage daughter Pearl, and rents a house from the Richardsons.
Soon Mia and Pearl become more than just tenants: all four
Richardson children are drawn to the mother-daughter pair. But Mia
carries with her a mysterious past, and a disregard for the rules
that threatens to upend this carefully ordered community. When old
family friends attempt to adopt a Chinese-American baby, a custody
battle erupts that dramatically divides the town - and puts Mia and
Elena on opposing sides. Suspicious of Mia and her motives, Elena
is determined to uncover the secrets in Mia's past. But her
obsession will come at an unexpected and devastating cost... What
readers are saying: 'Highly recommended, beautifully written and
thought-provoking' 'An engrossing read' 'Absolutely brilliant'
'Great characters, interesting plot that leaves you desperate to
read more and written beautifully. I loved it and highly recommend
it!'

Great but...

It is laden with immoral, disgusting, ungodly ways of life. The rest of the book is fantastic though, except for those one or two things.
