La famiglia del piano di sopra by Lisa Jewell

The structure of "The Family Upstairs" mostly annoyed me... the jumps around in time, the various characters, the settings. Nothing about the novel impressed me and I cannot recommend it.

Yet another book that languished on my shelf far too long. THE FAMILY UPSTAIRS by @lisajewelluk hit so many of the elements I love in a book and had me reading late into the night:
✔️ multiple POV
✔️dual timeline
✔️a cult
✔️mysterious deaths
✔️creepy and atmospheric

This was soooo good! I really liked the build-up of the story, the 3 different points of view, the twists and turns, some predictable and others not so easy to spot. The premise was also super interesting, and for a book with many characters, it really wasn't too hard to follow. Beautifully written, amazing story and plot and I'm eager to read the sequel.

I would love to listen to a book club discussion about this book. I’m not sure I would be able to contribute much, because I’m still processing this one. I devoured this book from the very first chapter. I needed so many answers- and I love how they weren’t all given to you. Lisa Jewell left the perfect amount to the imagination. She didn’t drag out the ending, but was able to present it in a way that didn’t seem hurried or condensed. I would love a sequel or a prequel or anything to get more of this story. I have a feeling this will be one of my top reads for 2020. 4/5 stars because it was a little predictable (not completely) and a few completely unrealistic things bothered me.

This book was not what I expected. I picked it up because it was so highly recommend. I found it hard to read consistently. It didn’t start to pick up until almost page 300 and then it was over! If it was just from the perspective of Henry I think this book would have been a 5⭐️
