Settling into their new home, Kate makes nice with a clique of moms with daughters at Alex’s school and feels like she may be fitting in, with a potentially closer relationship with chef Joe Miller. This show isn’t about finer subtleties: a metaphor about paper and paper clips is ditched mid-scene because we all know what’s going on under the surface.

She starts to tentatively see someone, but she still is caught up in her dead husband and how their marriage turned sour. Hunt is able to give you a sense of how messy and vindictive teenage girls can be and how the parents of said girls are not far behind.Let her peers speak (even if you have to recruit some), I think we'd learn something by listening to them. I thoroughly enjoyed this most suspenseful, intriguing and entertaining story… It definitely had Big Little Lies vibes! Both Beautiful Girls and October Road take place in the fictional Massachusetts town of Knight's Ridge, and have similar characters, jobs, plot lines.

A tasty, if not always tasteful, tale of supernatural mayhem that fans of King and Crichton alike will enjoy. A riveting novel of psychological suspense about perfect lives and hidden secrets by New York Times bestselling author T. Not all the characters (even the men) were unlikeable and I appreciate the author giving us some balance. It’s theatre made by middle-class white women so naturally me and my middle-class white friends from girls school (I know) loved it because it spoke directly to the everyday sexism we’ve experienced.Only teenage drama spirals quickly out of control when one of the girls winds up dead and Alex is a prime suspect in the murder investigation. It opens up with a dead body and then we hear the story from Kate's point of view and Alex's video diary. Kate has an uneasy feeling about the girls, wondering whether they’re “predatory,” but she’s afraid to voice her concerns because she has become friends with the girls’ mothers, having ignored warnings that the women are vicious and take pride in raising bullies. After the sudden death of her husband, Kate Turner is looking for a fresh start for herself and her teenage daughter, Alex.
