Like a House on Fire

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own. (via Netgalley)

It felt like the nothing really happened in the first half before finally picking up. I also feel like it was more a romance story which is probably why this one just wasn't really for me.

I generally hate stories involving cheating, but I hated Cory so much that it made this tolerable. I loved Jane. Merit was incredibly annoying, but I wanted Jane to be happy. I liked the way their friendship shifted over time, though I had issues with the way the author was basically insisting that these were two straight women who just happened to fall in love. That felt yucky. I know my review is making it sound like I didn't actually enjoy this book, but I did. I fell for Jane when Merit did and I felt just as trapped by Cory and the basic “okay” memories they shared.
