About this listen

A hugely compulsive, dark, stylish and intense novel, simmering with Hitchcockian undertones - for readers of Lullaby, Eileen or The Lemon Grove.

Have you ever wanted to steal someone else's life? The Professor lives in Brooklyn; her partner Nathan has left her; she can't have a baby. All she's left with is Nathan's old moggy, Cat. Who she doesn't even like.

Then a celebrity actress moves into the area. She's beautiful, with long auburn hair, perfect skin, a lovely smile. She's got children - a baby, even. And a husband who seems to adore her. She leaves discarded household items and toys outside for thrift collection. She leaves her windows open, even at night.

There's no harm, the Professor thinks, in recycling those items. Or looking in through the illuminated glass at that shiny, happy family. Is there?

Critic reviews

"This intense, gripping first novel from Laura Sims shoehorns us into a gathering disquiet and sense of dread, heightened at every turn by our sympathetic understanding of her relentlessly unraveling protagonist. The precise, observant writing slips through the skin without ever calling attention to itself." (Peter Straub, author of A Dark Matter and Interior Darkness)

I stayed with this book till the end but felt like I was waiting for something to happen for most of it and was disappointed when things did happen. You could really feel the hurt, turmoil and bitterness of the main character but after a while it grated on me. I listen to my audiobooks at night so every night for a week I had this bitter women moaning about her crap life into my ear. I have fertility issues myself and I didnt feel this was handled well in this book..it was overplayed as one of the reasons for the character's very strange actions.

Good but not great
