About this item

Nobody’s perfect—although one beautiful couple certainly comes close. Discover the cracks beneath the polished surface in this unsettling short story from bestselling author Minka Kent.

Veronica and Ryan Hartley are the envy of Auburn Drive. When the exclusive neighborhood hosts its annual progressive dinner party, the couple’s perfection is on display. The neighbors are obsessed—entranced by the “it” couple’s movie-star looks and smoldering gazes. But is the perfect pair too good to be true?

People Like Them is part of Obsession, a collection of compulsively readable short stories about people pushed to their extremes. So addictive you won’t be able to put them down—read or listen to each story in a single sitting.

Great short, little read. I was wondering how I’d keep up with all characters when I realized it was already almost over! That was a bit sad, I was enjoying it but it was worth the read, would have made for an amazing , more in depth novel, but this way, if you didn’t enjoy it, it’s not like you wasted much time. There’s a lot to work off from here and I am excited to see it’s part of a “collection” . While the BIG itch was scratched, there are a lot of open doors that I am eager to explore. Reading this felt like watching ‘Desperate Housewives’ in the early seasons, when it was addictive because it was fun and intriguing.

This was unexpected and really well done. I was guessing from the first moment and I was wrong more then once. But that was part of the fun for me. Would love to read something longer by this author.

Excellent pacing between chapters. Like this kind of story which reminds me of Hitchcock & other surprising stories about women who prevail. While skeptical someone so controlling would have allowed this possible oversight to happen, love the poetic justice.

I thoroughly enjoyed this fast paced intriguing short story. The premise, a neighborhood dinner party with a stop at each home for each course from cocktails to a nightcap. Learning about the inhabitants at each stop with one seemingly perfect couple the center of everyones attention. Envy from some of the females, and maybe a little lust from the males.

But are they really the perfect loving couple? The perfect home, career and wealthy status. Or is it all a charade? You will have to read this entertaining story to find out. The ending, and what an ending will probably stay with me for a long time. This is one I will go back and read again!

Kudos to the author. ????????????????⭐⭐

Do you truly know anyone? Are there perfect couples you can think of? And if so, do you ever wonder about their secrets? Are they really that happy?
