The Glass Neighbor

You tell yourself you're just curious. You tell yourself it's research. You tell yourself the woman across the street is hiding something — and maybe she is. But what happens when the story you've been telling yourself is the most dangerous fiction of all? Mara is a freelance writer, recently divorced, working from home in a quiet suburban neighborhood where nothing ever happens. Then Diana moves in across the street — polished, magnetic, effortlessly perfect — and Mara can't look away. She starts keeping notes. Then photographs. Then a file. She calls it research. The reader will call it something else. Told entirely through Mara's razor-sharp, unreliable first-person voice, The Glass Neighbor alternates between present-day obsession and journal entries from six months earlier — entries that slowly, devastatingly begin to contradict everything Mara has told us. With two seismic plot reversals and a final page that recontextualizes the entire novel, this is a psychological thriller for readers who want to be genuinely surprised — and who will immediately flip back to page one to find every clue they missed.
