The Family Upstairs

Lisa Jewell

3.83 AVERAGE


Actually 3.5⭐️ Bit of a slow start. Considered DNFing. Turned out to be a decent story. Fairly quick read. Not mind blowing

This is not a book I’d recommend someone to read, but if you are already into her books, I wouldn’t bash reading this one.

I felt like this books plot was just about men in this home being sickos and the consequences of those actions which was not thrilling to me, just sad.

Lisa Jewell is a gem!

I feel like Lucy’s entire personality changed after she left France and also why is everyone so naive about
Henry?? “Clemency said he’s pure evil and he locked me in a room and went through my phone but other than that he’s so nice!!!” ok cornball. I also want to know what happened when it was revealed that he lied about being Phin why was that skipped over
