Slow to start and I guessed the person responsible pretty early on but I’m giving it 3 points for badass females and also for Sinatra

4.5⭐️I was in the mood for a thriller, so I requested this book on a whim knowing nothing about it minus some strong early ratings. After finishing, I can 100% say this is worth the read and unlike any thriller I’ve read before.
Synopsis: Cass and Anna both find themselves living at the Sycamores, a former motel turned cheap apartment complex, for different reasons. Cass was dumped and left broke and homeless, so she became the superintendent living there for free. Meanwhile Anna just lost her husband and decided to move into the unit he was using as an art studio in search of answers about his suicide. It is not before long that Cass and Anna lives begin to intersect.
Thoughts:What I loved most was how unpredictable this story was. It totally went in a different direction than I expected, and while it was full of twists, you did not have to suspend disbelief to buy into the events. The setting was unique and easy to imagine. Also, the cast of characters living at the Sycamores brought a ton of fun neighborhood drama and humor to the story. And while yes this was a thriller, the theme of found family was embedded so perfectly. Plus, a bigger cast meant more hidden secrets and lies to the point where I did not know who to trust!

I really enjoyed this book. None of the characters were super likeable, but the story line was unique and I didn’t see the plot twist coming. Overall I would give it a 3.75. I couldn’t put my finger on why this was a like and not a love, but I still think it’s worth picking up.

Man it was 4 chapters in until I realized these were two different women. They sounded the same. Both whiny both lame. Dumb kids running around too
