Belong to Me by Marissa De Los Santos

This book is told from three points of view; the first is Cornelia Brown, an urbanite who surprises everyone when she and her husband, Teo, up and move to the suburbs. The second is Dev, an extremely bright teenager whose missing father occupies most of his thoughts, and whose mother, Lake, has befriended Cornelia. And the third is Piper, Cornelia's neighbor and reigning queen bee of the neighborhood. Cornelia, struggling with her own fertility issues, finds it difficult to acclimate to the domestic dramas of suburban life and struggles to find her place in a community that emphasizes children. Teo seems blissfully unaware, happily bumbling through his life. The burgeoning
friendships between Cornelia and Lake, Cornelia and Piper, The Browns and Dev, etc. make for an intriguing read. The three story lines work well individually but don't always overlap as neatly as they should. Also, the plot was predictable, especially toward the end, however, Belong to Me is well written and worth a few hours of your time.
