I loved this book. I couldn’t look away. Buying/selling a house is difficult enough, let a house buying chain. What could go wrong. Then add in full blown narcissists and psychopaths. A definite must read in my humble opinion.
i feel like i cant even actually write a review without ruining one of the many twists. this one was dark and fun to read
I'm a sucker for plot twists that leave my jaw on the floor. I got a little antsy while reading, but not for long.
So many psychopaths! Psychopaths, sociopaths, enablers, oh my!
But as one of the narrators, Mille tells us, there are good and bad psychopaths. She's one of the good ones. She uses her powers for good as a cardiac surgeon. It what gives he the ability to hold a beating heart in her steady hands, or to operate on someone she knows, without feeling emotion.
So when she gets into a bidding war for the house of her dreams, she sets in motion a domino effect between her family, the owners of The Glass House, Stacey and Felix, and her buyers Harper and Kyle. If Mille and Tom can't get the house, Harper and Kyle (or kyperlife as their popular vlog is called), can't buy Mille's house. The problem is, Harper has already sold her house when she finds out, and is stuck in what she calls her "teeny little rented mouse-house".
This story takes the notion of house wars to a whole new level. Buying a house is definitely requires a strategy, but the degree of manipulation these three families go to is off the charts. And in the end someone is dead (no spoiler - we know this from the beginning). We hear many theories about what might have happened, and the whole time we know someone knows the whole story. And in the best suspense style, we must wait until the nail biting ending to find out.
Thanks so much to NetGalley and Avon Books UK for an advance readers copy.

One of the best thrillers I’ve read in a long time. Dark and twisted in the best way.
Overall a pretty moderately interesting plot, basically house hunters meets real housewives vibes and about as entertaining as your fourth episode of house hunters in a row. Very little rising action and a whole lot of just putting characters in rooms together with no chemistry. Despite that, you learn early on that one of the main characters is the mother of a child with undiagnosed psychopathy and this relationship is very interesting to see unfold.
