I was immediately drawn into the story, and was surprised by how visceral the chemistry between Merit and Jane felt. Usually I’m not a fan of cheating plot lines, but the fraught dynamics of a disjointed marriage felt super real and sensible throughout the story. Such a good read that kept me engaged!!

I was able to review Like a House on Fire by Lauren McBrayer and PENGUIN GROUP Putnam for providing me with an advanced ARC in exchange for an honest review.
This book is about the choices we make, the way we grow and change as human beings, and the responsibilities we have to ourselves and others. The messiness of life and love, motherhood and marriage, working and raising a family, aging and regrets.

Welp, that was relatable. Would have liked to have more than just a final word reveal though.
