The Family Upstairs

I was completely misled by the book community into thinking this book was a shock-filled thriller. It was not, but I had a hard time putting it down because I was flying through it. So even though it didn't reach my expectations, it was still well done.

The highlight of this book for me was the writing. Lisa Jewell has such a captivation writing style that I love. Once you get past the first few chapters of learning which POV is which, you get sucked in.

Sadly, I wished this book was more thrilling than it was. By the time I got to the ending I was just so confused. I saw the resolution coming, but I was shocked they didn't elaborate more on what happened. There was a character that was giving off such creepy vibes but it was brushed over! I want more of that! I hope the next book in the series follows through with that character because it left me wanting more.

This was a fun, mind-numbing read. I look forward to reading other books by Lisa Jewell in the future.
