Cobble Hill
Cobble Hill: A Novel | Cecily von Ziegesar
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Gossip Girl series, a deliciously irresistible novel chronicling a year in the life of four families in an upscale Brooklyn neighborhood as they seek purpose, community, and meaningful relationshipsuntil one unforgettable night at a raucous neighborhood party knocks them to their senses. Welcome to Cobble Hill. In this eclectic Brooklyn neighborhood, private storms brew amongst four married couples and their children. Theres ex-groupie Mandy, so underwhelmed by motherhood and her current physical state that she fakes a debilitating disease to get the attention of her skateboarding, ex-boyband member husband Stuart. Theres the unconventional new school nurse, Peaches, on whom Stuart has an unrequited crush, and her disappointing husband Greg, who wears noise-cancelling headphoneseverywhere. A few blocks away, Roy, a well-known, newly transplanted British novelist, has lost the thread of his next novel and his marriage to capable, indefatigable Wendy. Around the corner, Tupper, the nervous, introverted industrial designer with a warehose full of prosthetic limbs struggles to pin down his elusive artist wife Elizabeth. She remainselusive. Throw in two hormonal teenagers, a ten-year-old pyromaniac, a drug dealer pretending to be a doctor, and a lot of hidden cameras, and youve got a combustible mix of egos, desires, and secrets bubbling in brownstone Brooklyn. Smart, sophisticated, yet surprisingly tender, Cobble Hill is highly entertaining portrait of contemporary family life and the colorful characters who call Brooklyn home.

I got halfway before completely losing interest 🫥 Maybe it‘s a case of “wrong book at the wrong time” but maybe not based on others reviews? Idk, too many other books on my Mt. TBR to tackle #HailtheBail 🚀⛰️📚📚📚

A good summer read about an odd mix of neighbors turned friends. A bonus that it's set in Brooklyn--a sucker for all things NYC!

I‘m not sure why there is such a low rating for this book! I really enjoyed it. If you look at it as what it‘s supposed to be: a book about the lives of the privileged in Brooklyn, NYC, you can see that it is hilarious and quirky with unique characters with not-your-everyday type problems. I enjoyed the Gossip Girl books previously written by this author so I would read future work by her.

BookishMarginalia I‘m glad you enjoyed it! I bailed on it — it didn‘t speak to me 🤷🏻‍♀️ 3y
MyNamesParadise @BookishMarginalia thanks! Yeah I can see where it wouldn‘t appeal to everyone. Some aspects of the characters were definitely weird, lol. 3y
BookishMarginalia Yes — it was the characters who annoyed me. The setting and the writing were great. 3y

I‘m bailing at 31% — I really just don‘t care about any of these characters. At all. And Murder and Adobo awaits!

I enjoyed this but I get that it can be off putting to some — part of my enjoyment is I live adjacent to this Brooklyn neighborhood, so I know quite a few people like these inane, nouveau riche types. 😅 As a ‘Modern Family‘ sequence comedy...it‘ll do. Very slice of life. Don‘t expect that much. 😂

I personally didn't care for this one. The characters, and their concerns, did not interest me at all.
