A review by penofpossibilities
The Smell of Other People's Houses by Bonnie-Sue Hitchcock

dark emotional reflective sad fast-paced

• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.0

3.5 stars. The writing is beautiful. I realised I'm not the biggest fan of intertwining stories though. They just seems so coincidental and unrealistic often. 
I don't know what this story is trying to tell me, I think some message of hope and connectedness? Dora's story made me cry.
Uhhhm might update this review once i've gathered my thoughts haha. 


I probably forgot some trigger warnings 😬 lmk if I need to add any!!
