Dear Neighbor, Drop Dead by Saralee Rosenberg

I picked this new book up looking for a light read and got much more. Mindy Sherman’s been feuding for years with her perfect neighbor Beth Diamond. However, when an IM conversation goes viral, suddenly Beth needs a new friend and turns to Mindy for help. Mindy is dealing with her husband’s first son coming back, her in-laws possible break up and now Beth. Will Mindy finally develop a backbone?

This is not typical chick lit, and I enjoyed it. It’s deeper than a fluffy neighbor feud. Mindy was real feisty character, who saw that appearances didn’t matter and are often decieving. Also, there’s a neat family connection between Beth and Mindy. And a few surprises along the way.
