Honestly, I wasn't expecting how this book turned out at all and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I enjoyed watching things play out and unfold. The ending is what really got me. I just wasn't expecting those twists at all. They came from left field and it's what made me go from giving this book a 3 or 3.5 to a 4 star. I feel like it was be a great lifetime movie.
I am probably a bit biased here: it is such a crazy notion to have someone living in your house without you knowing around my neighborhood that just that sent my head spinning. The whole story was just full of discomfort and sadness and awfulness, and I think it may have been the author's intention. Since I don't know for sure, I'm rating it three stars - because if it was anything else it would have been a disaster hahah.
I'm pretty sure I'll be of an unpopular opinion for this one. What a snooze fest. This is NOT a thriller. The action, what little there is, comes during the last 100pgs or so and is only a few pages long. I would consider this more of a family drama and a really boring one at that.
The ending is easily imagined as well if you pay attention to some of the dialogue. The only thing that had me like
I finished this book 5 months ago, and I am writing a review now because it has stayed at the forefront of my mind during that whole time. If that's not the mark of a good book, I don't know what is! The premise of the story, that someone could live undetected in a family's home and be privy to all their secrets, was absolutely chilling and fascinating to me. And then the stowaway involves her self in the families life! The way that Fisher takes this premise and then develops it into such a twisty plot was excellent. She develops her characters in a very compelling way and rates so atmospheric Lea and seamlessly, that I was reading late into the night and recommended this book to lots of people.
