All the Little Houses
BOOK BY May Cobb
ABOUT BOOK Adults can behave badly too... It's the mid-1980s in the tiny town of Longview, Texas. Nellie Anderson, the beautiful daughter of the Anderson family dynasty, has burst onto the scene. She always gets what she wants. What she can't get for herself… well, that's what her mother is for. Because Charleigh Andersen, blond, beautiful, and ruthlessly cunning, remembers all too well having to claw her way to the top. When she was coming of age on the poor side of East Texas, she was a loser, an outcast, humiliated, and shunned by the in-crowd, whose approval she'd so desperately thirsted for. When a prairie-kissed family moves to town, all trad wife, woodworking dad, wholesome daughter vibes, Charleigh's entire self-made social empire threatens to crumble. Who will be left standing when the dust settles? From the author of The Hunting Wives comes a deliciously wicked new thriller about mean girls, mean moms, and the delicious secrets inside all the little houses. The author’s approach to storytelling highlights the importance of context and buildup. Key moments feel impactful because they are supported by prior development rather than sudden shifts. The author’s use of language contributes significantly to the book’s appeal. Sentences flow smoothly, making the text easy to read while still conveying nuance. This stylistic clarity supports immersion, allowing readers to focus on the story rather than struggle with comprehension.
