The Paper House by Anna Spargo-Ryan

4.0

Loved the gloomy, melancholy vibe paired with gorgeous prose - a potent combination, one that I would seek out as a depressed teenager and have savoured ever since. I'm not sure exactly what it was about The Paper House that seduced me so quickly, but I remember feeling inspired by the writing, compelled to put pen to paper myself for the first time in years - an unusual reaction.
As we wade through the darkness of Heather's mind we barely get a glimpse of how murky the waters are before we fall straight in the deep end. I love stories about houses and families and this book ticked a lot of boxes for me.
I'm trying very hard to read 52 books in 52 weeks but when I'm done, I will return to The Paper House for a re-read.
