Secrets have a habit of coming out and none of theirs are safe,

what happens when the pretty pink door opens and lets them all inside?

Behind The Pretty Pink Door
by M.J. Hardy
Change edition

This book was, as many other reviewers have mentioned, weird.

In both good and not so good ways.

But I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND it, weirdness and all.

This is a book that is compulsively readable and very easy to get lost in.

The plot concerns a group of neighbors, all living in an upscale development. We, as readers, get their stories and how they wind up living there.

But the enigmatic focus of the book is..the pretty pink door.

It exists..and the neighbors are all a little obsessed with it .

With good reason.

The Pretty pink door belongs to one of the houses in the development. This house appears to be occupied but nobody has ever met the people or person who lives there and nobody ever sees them. ALL THEY SEE IS A PRETTY PINK DOOR.

What is behind said door?

I LIKED this book. It was a breath of fresh air after some of the thrillers I have been reading lately. The characters are finely woven and you care about them and their lives. Nobody's life is what they seem,,that is not weird in itself..

The pink door is weird..what is going on behind it? We, the readers, get our answers but they come gradually..and with ever deepening horror...

So why not a five?

The ending. NOT that it is incomplete or anything..but it is..um weird.

It will be hard to talk about without spoilers but I shall try.

One of the characters..something happens to this character that is utterly crazy and not in a good way. I've no idea why it is even in there because it has nothing to do with the story. It sure did knock a point or two off for me. To say I was baffled was putting it mildly. I actually reread the page to make sure I was reading it correctly!

There is..um..also an update on a few people but not others and I take back my earlier words. It DOES sort of make the book feel incomplete.

This was a 4.5 star book that really lost me at the end. I am still recommending it. It's a really good read. Do not have any expectations about the end and who knows, you may feel different.

If you do read it, leave me a comment as this is a book that I would really be interested in hearing from others about.

Behind the Pretty Pink Door was a unique and well written book that I wish I could have given a five to. Still recommended. Compulsively readable.… (más)
