review 1: From the beginning, you know that the three main characters have deep, dark secrets. Callie, unmarried mother of Rae, has a rocky relationship with Rae's father and it has become worse since she made the decision to venture back into work outside her London suburb. Suzy, transplanted American, is Callie's best and only friend. She passionately loves her three sons and is almost too possessive of her best friend; but she would do anything for Callie and Rae. Finally, Debs and husband Allen are new neighbors to the two women. It is obvious that Debs has issues and a past involving a child from her days of teaching, and yet, she is still working with children in the after school club at the local school. Rae is caught in the center of this triangle of main characters. ... moreAs the story unfolds, there are several coincidences that are rather unbelievable that bring the dark secrets to light so that any doubt of which character is not to be trusted is erased. I was engrossed in this psychological thriller untili about midway when the truth began to be revealed and the believability of the plot began to wane. I felt that what started out to be a thriller, ran out of steam with a ending that was out of desperation to simply end the book.
review 2: Are there really so many crazy people out there? This book should be read with Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn because they are highly complementary. In Playdate, a woman is shunned by her new neighbors and her daughter becomes a pariah at school. Is it because of her crazy neighbor, a teacher, who was accused of hitting a teenager at her previous job? Or could it be because her new "best" friend is spreading rumors about her? You just don't know until all the layers of relationships are exposed in this really interesting mystery. less
