Although promoted as a chick lit type of book, this is actually avery disturbing story. Maggie, who hasn't dealt with her past becomes fixated on her neighbors after accicentally overhearing them on a baby monitor she bought as a gift and decides to test. Libby is struggling to deal with new motherhood and the decision to stay at home and raise her baby rather than return to work as a lawyer. The more obsessed Maggie becomes, the more she denies it to herself. She inserts herself into this family's life by following them to Cuba. The reason why Maggie is so twisted is slowly revealed and there is a nice tidy ending. I am not really sure if I liked it or not. It tended to drag on in places.
