Adults can behave badly too...
It's the mid-1980s in the tiny town of Longview, Texas. Nellie Anderson, the beautiful daughter of the Anderson 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. When she was coming of age on the poor side of East Texas, she was a loser, an outcast, 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.

The narration was very off putting!

The story itself wasn’t too bad, I did expect more but it was ehhh. The part that got me was the narrator (s). I think that could’ve helped the read, immensely. I did finish the book and the VERY ending was good.

Texas author

Book Review 📚✨
All the Little Houses by May Cobb was my first book by this author—and wow, I did not see that twist coming! 😮💥

I first discovered this book after watching The Hunting Wives on Netflix 📺. When I found out May Cobb was doing a book signing at Twig Bookstore, I HAD to go meet her and grab a copy—and I’m so glad I did! 🛍️💖

Set in the tiny town of Longview, East Texas during the mid-1980s, this story is hot, dusty, and packed with secrets… 🌵🔥🤫

The narrators were amazing too—they truly brought the story to life 🎧✨. I would absolutely read (and listen to!) another book by May Cobb! 💕📖

Love May Cobb’s Texas neighborhood thrillers!

I have loved all May Cobb’s books so far and was excited to get into this one! Another Texas neighborhood drama- my favorite trope! I loved how it was set in the 80’s! I love all the characters and their POV, the narrators were great for all! I love the drama and was shocked by who died! I was guessing all along but didn’t guess that once! I wish the ending was more thorough! I want to know what happened! It was kind of rushed- just over and I was like “wait, what?!” Maybe another book in the series?! That’s my only hiccup, is the ending left many questions unanswered and many people left without their comeuppance and I’d like to see that. Overall great read, just like I expected!

Glad I Stuck With It

I really loved this one. I’ll be honest, I almost quit at the start because Nellie’s narrator just did not work for me. Her voice was flat-out annoying, and the other female voices she did sounded oddly masculine and distracting. But once I pushed past those early chapters, the book completely grabbed me. I’m glad I stuck with it because it turned into one of the better domestic thrillers I’ve listened to lately.

The story stays twisty without getting confusing, and the rotating POVs settle in nicely once you adjust. It has that messy, tense, small-town feel, with secrets everywhere and characters who never act the way you expect.

Read this if you like:
🏡 Suburban drama with actual tension

🔍 Domestic thrillers with lots of secrets

Kept me guessing

The entire story kept me on my toes. I never wanted to turn this story off. I can’t wait for the sequel
