Description
Perfect for fans of Laura Dave and Ashley Audrain, Plays Well with Others is a delicious domestic thriller that explores neighborhood secrets, dangerous friendships, and truths too dark to be acknowledged … even to ourselves.
One year after her ex–best friend posted their private correspondence on social media, good girl Jake Nolan is still reeling. Thanks to Shelby’s betrayal, Jake lost her job, her house, and her husband, not to mention a cherished friendship that turned out to be built on deceit. Circle Shelby; cross out Jake.
But enough is enough, and after moving into a bungalow on idyllic Sweetwater Lane, Jake decides to retaliate by doing some crossing out of her own. When her brand-new friend and neighbor Mabel admits to also having an enemy, they decide to join forces. Why not, since they’re both itching for revenge?
Only they’re not the only ones. It seems that everyone on Sweetwater Lane is nursing a grudge or two, and although most of the grievances are trivial, a few sprout fangs. While Jake and Mabel’s revenge game begins as a series of giddy pranks, the stakes become deadly when uninvited participants join the fun.
Advance Praise
“A compulsive domestic thriller that is as dark as it is dangerous.”--firstCLUE
“Twisty and absorbing. The flawed but charming character at the center of Plays Well with Others is what makes it so compelling.”--Karin Slaughter, New York Times and #1 internationally bestselling author
“Oh, what fun! Lauren Myracle takes the domestic thriller to a riotous new level with Plays Well with Others. This page-turning revenge romp is stuffed with dark humor, twists, and sharply drawn characters that will have you reading and eating cookies way past your bedtime.”--Julia Heaberlin, internationally bestselling author of Night Will Find You
“Come for the flawed-but-likable characters and the razor-sharp humor, but stay for the slow-boil thriller. Myracle peels back the layers of petty neighborhood ‘next door wars’ to reveal a shocking darkness at the heart of her suburban noir; it’s a delicious cupcake of a book with arsenic sprinkles, and I absolutely could not put it down.”--Joshilyn Jackson, New York Times bestselling author of With My Little Eye
“What does the aftermath of love and bitter betrayal look like in the age of social media? Who decides what the truth is and who gets to tell it? Plays Well with Others is equal parts thriller, thoughtful exploration of media culture, layered with deep character studies. Truly remarkable.”--Nicola Yoon, #1 New York Times bestselling author of One of Our Kind
“A domestic thriller about the evil that lurks right beneath the surface and what people keep hidden, even from those closest to them…Fans of the genre will definitely be entertained.”--Booklist
