The chapter starts off with a discovery... and the story makes a full circle. I really really enjoyed reading this one. It does follow dates as the beginning of chapters and it makes perfect sense in the end.
I was hooked from the start and I was kept guessing all the way through. It's a fast read and well- written. Highly recommend.
Thank you NetGalley and Ballantine Books for giving me the opportunity to read this!

I love that from the beginning we know what’s going to happen and read the entire book trying to figure out the who. This was genius and such a twist at the end. I love that I couldn’t and didn’t figure out all of the ending. I absolutely will read works from this author again.

Dirty Laundry is a new thriller, suspense, twisty novel by Disha Bose, a debut author. It's about a few different families in a neighborhood which of course each have their own pros and cons. Ciara is the influencer-mom. You know, perfect family and perfect lives. But that's rarely the case behind the scenes, is it? Mishti is newer to the neighborhood, raising her daughter in a new place after leaving an unhappy arranged marriage. Lauren is more of the "hippie" type of parent, all "love the earth", etc. She's less liked than the other mothers because she's different. You'd think she'd be the one to be found dead but instead, we find Ciara. What happened to her? And better yet, why?
Dirty Laundry was a good debut and I'm looking forward to reading her upcoming works.

Did not enjoy this one. Quite ridiculous. Tried too hard to be twisty and turny, and just fell flat.

Thank you NetGalley and Random House Publishing Group - Ballantine, Ballantine Books for my copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion. This book was not for me. There was entirely too much drama and it made me feel incredibly irritated and depressed. I can get enough of that in my own life. This felt like an episode of really bad reality TV.

Thanks to netgalley.com for this ARC.
This was a fun, page turner. Told from the perspective of a few different characters all within the same small community in Ireland it focuses on modern problems that social media causes. I felt that I was guessing on the who did it part of the story pretty much towards the end. I enjoyed the interactions the characters had with each other and how it all tied together.
I will definitely be on the lookout for other books by this author.

This is a neighborhood drama in the vein of Big Little Lies. There are so many lies and secrets, that you won’t know who to trust. It will keep you guessing and on your toes!

Dirty Laundry by Disha Bose tells the story of three women who live in the same village in Ireland. They all have different issues going on and lots of secrets. One of them gets murdered, and all hell breaks loose. I would call this a domestic thriller. The first part of the book was a little bit slow, but it picks up towards the end. If you like books about female friendships this is the book for you. All three characters were someone unlikable, but that is not a dealbreaker for me. Sometimes I think that makes for a very interesting read, which it did in this case. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the advanced copy of this book. All opinions are my own.

this book brings thre wives that live on the same street but have totqlly different lives. the way the story is structured they all have to deal with wach other in some circumstances yert they do not all harbor the smae feelings about each other. It is a book that pulls you in fronthe first page. You want to know how life wrks for thee three women.
I really enjoyed thiws book and kook forward to reading another from this author

The story kept me engaged enough throughout, but I didn't love it. I prefer to have at least one likeable character in a domestic thriller. Since this was the author's debut I'd be interested in her next book!
Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for the eARC

I think this would have been a quick read if I had been more drawn to it. I kept reading a chapter and then putting it down for a while, it wasn't until the final stretch that I was really invested. I enjoyed how the author showed that an influencer can put on a false front and how behind the scenes it can be nasty. As a mother, it was hard for me to hear the way the main character felt about her children. I also could not fathom all the mean girl and cheating plots the local neighborhood and mother groups were experiencing. Overall, I was happy with the ending.

Thank you Net Galley for allowing me to receive this book for an honest review.
I'm sorry but I could not relate to this book. I think everyone has their own ADHD tendencies. I thought this was a little extreme and for that reason I found myself hard to get through this book.
I do not want to discourage anyone from reading this, it just wasn't for me.

This was an interesting read that really made me think about the neighbors people have and the relationships that those neighbors can have.

This book was okay the beginning had me iffy but the drama and mess throughout was so entertaining and kept me going. I was gonna DNF after like 35% the pacing was killing me. But I’m glad I pushed through because I enjoyed the second half the most and the twist involving Ciara’s death was really good.
It didn’t come off like a thriller and wasn’t really suspenseful either. But the way the book starts off it gives a little mystery because you’re left wondering the entire time who murdered Ciara. Outside of that it was like Desperate Housewives mixed with Mean Girls but with a small town setting.
I disliked mostly all the characters for various reasons especially Ciara and Sean. I felt bad for Mishti at first then after awhile I was like girl if you don’t stand up for yourself tf. Parth would’ve had me so messed up especially the night Mishti made his favorite meal and he wanna get an attitude and argue like she doing it to persuade him to move them back home to India.
Like sir just eat the damn food she really trying here. Parth was already treating her like crap on top of the fact she was arranged to marry him so she wasn’t happy anyway and she found out he had a weird foot fetish. The men in this book were all trash and Ciara was right there with them. There was literally something going on behind everybody’s back loyalty was nonexistent.
Overall, I liked the book for what it was but I do feel it had potential to be better. The characters lacked depth and it could’ve been a little more suspenseful. You really just get a bunch of drama then someone dies in the midst of it all. So, if you’re looking for a drama filled murder mystery this book might be for you. Special thanks to the author & @penguinrandomhouse #ballentinebooks for my gifted copy!!!
Rating: 3.5/5⭐️

Pretty good story. Kept me interested and engaged. Good character development. OrgininL plot. An enjoyable read

Thank you, NetGalley for the advanced reader copy of Dirty Laundry by Disha Bose. I feel so indifferent about this book. It wasn’t good or bad, maybe it just wasn’t for me.

Dirty Laundry by Disha Bose was a fun mama drama that had a few twists along the way. It was a fun, fast read and I look forward to reading more from this author.
Thanks to #Netgalley and the publisher for providing a free copy in exchange for an honest review.

Dirty Laundry is a great read and shows how our pasts continue to haunt our futures. On the outside Ciara Dunphey has the picture perfect life but not everything is as it seems. Ciara is a popular influencer with a large online following and envy of many wives and mothers throughout their small village community. We get an inside look at the relationships that Ciara has created in her own neighborhood and the erosion Ciara creates in her wake. Lies, jealousy, and deceit are deeply rooted as we see how past decisions impact the small community.
This was a gripping read that I had a hard time putting down. I loved the character development and the tangled web they weaved.

The cover and title got me! The book isn’t too long so easily read over the course of a hot summer day. This is a story of 3 women who are very different from each other and their families. I felt the first half of the story dragged on and none of the characters were incredibly likable. The last 20 percent of the story was good and really picked up. I wish that had been the experience of the whole book but I will read more from this author because I see amazing potential.

This was a fun read! You get to enter the dirty workings of female friendships. We have the queen bee, the outcast, and the newcomer. Ciara, out queen bee seems to have it all-so why so nasty? The book peels away the layers and kept a strong grip on me until the very end. Loved it!
