3.5-4. The pacing in this was excellent and I love me some short chapters. I would highly encourage all readers to tackle The Family Upstairs first. I even wish I had re-read that before starting this. I enjoyed all of the characters again but I do wish there had been a bit more action in the end.
I was so excited I almost didn’t believe it when I saw Lisa Jewell was writing a Family Upstairs sequel. I loved the first book so much, and it still I with me for years. Returning to Lucy and Henry’s lives was another immersive, twisty experience. Henry is such a layered, unique character and I truly enjoyed seeing him navigate everything that was thrown back at him in this book. The conclusion of the Lambs’ story was bittersweet, but also very fitting. If you loved The Family Upstairs, you’ll love spending more time with these characters.
