Book Review: The Perfect Neighbors | Sarah Pekkanen
This was a really enjoyable book. It alternates between 4 women’s lives in a small suburban street. Kellie has recently returned to work and is attracted to one of her new coworkers. She struggles with the pull between her marriage and family, and the excitement of a life outside of being a homemaker. Susan is gorgeous and successful, but is struggling with the end of her marriage and her ex-husband’s new relationship. Gigi is the wife of an emerging politician, but she has a hard time connecting with her teenage daughter. Her husband’s campaign picks up, and the toll it may take on her and her children make her wonder if it is worth it. Finally, Tessa is new to the neighborhood. She moved there with her family to escape a dark secret. Her story flashes back to “Before Newport Cove” as we learn more about what she is running from.
I would not categorize this as a psychological thriller, or even really as suspense. Though the story of Tessa unfolds throughout the novel, and you do wonder what she ran away from, it isn’t particularly suspenseful. This book is really a story about four women who have their own demons, and struggle to hold their families together as they try to keep their secrets hidden. It delves into a lot of family issues that I think many women struggle with throughout their life.
This book is a quick read and enjoyable. It didn’t have the same pull that some other books do for me. That said, I’m glad I read it. I may look into other books by this author at some point. It’s a fun, sometimes funny, sometimes sad, look at suburbia.

I fell victim to a Business Email Compromise (BEC) scam and a cryptocurrency exchange fraud. The assistance I received from DUNE NECTAR WEB EXPERT during tracing and recovering my lost money back is 100%. Individuals have suffered significant financial losses from fraudulent activities like lotteries, compensation schemes, binary tradings, inheritance scams, cryptocurrency investment scams, and forex trading manipulations. The challenges extend beyond the initial investment; many victims face difficulties withdrawing their funds, with brokers demanding additional deposits before allowing withdrawals. Furthermore, the theft or loss of access to cryptocurrency wallets represents a growing problem. The decentralized nature of cryptocurrencies makes recovery particularly challenging, requiring specialized expertise to trace transactions and potentially recover stolen funds. Data breaches can lead to identity theft, financial losses, and reputational damage. DUNE NECTAR WEB EXPERT’s services extend beyond lost crypto asset recovery; they offer comprehensive data protection strategies. Their expertise in navigating the complexities of online fraud and data security makes them a valuable resource for anyone seeking to protect their digital assets and personal information. Their assistance in my case involved recovering my lost funds and providing guidance on securing my online accounts and preventing future scams. Their dedication and expertise are truly exceptional and they have my vote of confidence.

Be careful of crypto platforms promising huge returns. They are luring people into fake programs. There is no shame in speaking out, most of us have been there too. We just have to be more careful. I was scammed of 30,450 USD in the middle of last year. I realized it was all scam after i made the third payment. A person from Bitcoin Abuse Forum recommended ZATTECH recovery and he was very helpful especially in recovering my lost funds, you can contact him via email on zattechrecovery ⓐ Gmail com. He could help you track them and hopefully recover your lost funds

I’m Lawal from Dubai. I was exploited by a Crypto Exchange Investment Platform and was made to invest $198,000 worth of crypto to this company. They made it all look real and it was impossible to easily figure out the sham they were running. I was just like every other curious person and investor who decided to invest in cryptocurrency trading all in the aim of making profit, but I was exploited and lost my hard-earned money to this service, if not for the intervention of Mr. James, a cyber security and crypto recovery expert who was able to help top officials from the government/companies recover their emails and cryptocurrency successfully, I would have not been able to recover my crypto assets. The spammers had contacted me through a popular social media platform (Facebook) which I later found out to be a sham, But James made me realize many other victims like me invested in this platform, I’m bringing this to you here that it was a scam to steal crypto from people. James was able to recover my crypto successfully and has since been able to assist two of my partners in recovering their crypto from this same online crypto investment platform. If you wish to contact James for any help regarding lost of funds or any social media hacking and recovery services, you can reach them via the info below: Email:jamesmckaywizard at gmail dot com or what’sapp +31-65-74- 46- 248.

I want to use this Medium to say big thanks to Recoveryhacker101. In 2021, I met someone online, and we started dating. He told me how he was making money in the crypto world and got me involved. At first, I was making money until I invested up to $210,000 in this investment scheme. When it came time to take my profit after the end of the contract, they asked for a commission, which I paid another $10,000. They kept asking for more until I talked to a friend about it. She promised to speak to her husband, who happened to know a company specializing in recovering assets lost through fake investment companies. They gave me the contact for recoveryhacker101. After reaching out to them on WhatsApp, they asked for all the necessary details about the investment and got to work. They kept giving me follow-up updates, and I can’t describe my relief when they called me after two days to say that my investment and profit had been completely recovered. I just had to post this on every page I can to let people know that they can still recover their lost investment. I highly recommend recoveryhacker101. or email them at recoveryhacker101@gmailcom
