The Upstairs House: A Novel by Julia Fine

4.0

This was pretty intense. I really enjoyed the overall story and the sense of "is this real or not?" that's built up. I did think that the chapters with the main character's dissertation excerpts were less compelling, and I think there are better ways to incorporate the context that the author was delivering in those chapters. But, they were short and they were more biographical than analytical, so it didn't really interrupt the flow for me.

CW for PPD and child endagerment.
