Nellie Anderson and her mother, Charleigh, navigate local power structures shaped by wealth, reputation, and long-standing social divisions.

When a newly arrived family unsettles established social hierarchies, long-hidden rivalries and secrets emerge, leading to escalating personal and communal conflict.

| Summary, Etc. |
"Adults can behave badly too... It's the mid-1980s in the tiny town of Longview, Texas. Nellie Andersen, the beautiful daughter of the Andersen 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. Coming of age on the poor side of East Texas, she was 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."-- Provided by publisher.
