I'd like to thank Netgalley for my digital copy in exchange for a fair and honest review
4.5 stars rounded to 5!
This book was a class act; never before have I read a book with such dark subject matter that felt like such a light and breezy read. If life had not intervened I probably could have devoured this in a day or two; however, I'm glad I was forced to read this one slowly as it seemed the equivalent of a fine wine that was better consumed in small, appreciative sips.
The plot revolves around Edie and her quest to clear out her recently deceased aunt's apartment that resembles something off of an episode of Hoarders. I won't say more than that as its spoiler central and would take away from the experience. I will say that instead of there being one giant twist at the end, there were tons of medium sized twists spaced throughout the entire story. I really liked this style of storytelling; it kept me on my toes and surprised me constantly because I assumed there could only be so many twists in one book, but I was wrong. I really found myself attached to the characters and was so sad to leave them behind after it all ended; this also surprised me as most of the characters were a detestable lot. I would highly recommend this to this looking for a suspenseful novel from multiple POVs that makes you think. I will be going back to read the author's first novel, [b:The Lost Child|25451329|The Lost Child|Ann Troup|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1440875607s/25451329.jpg|44995102], as I was impressed by her writing and humor!
