The Woman Next Door

This is a sweet book, but unremarkable in my opinion. This is mostly, I think, because this isn't a genre I enjoy reading much.

I do love the characters so much, though. They're such hilariously mean old women. And the social context – post-arpartheid South Africa – is intriguing.

But this is basically a very domesticated buddy story. So, yeah. Not my thing really.

HOWEVER if you do enjoy stories about very human relationships and you want something light and fun by the pool this is the book for you. It's quick and cute.
