A review by c0reyann
House on Fire by Bonnie Kistler
3.0
This book is an interesting one with a unique premise: what would you do if your beloved stepson was (possibly) behind the wheel during an accident killed your daughter?
This story follows the main characters of this book around the event that shatters everyone around it in different ways.
For the first 2/3rds of the book I was completely drawn in and didn't want to put the book down. The bits about the accident and the aftermath are GOOD. However, there's one storyline that jumps the shark for me and I think that seems to be the sentiment from everyone. I think that whole element could have been removed and the story would have been stronger and less weird and required less suspended disbelief.
4 stars for the bulk of the novel, -1 for the WTF storyline.
