This was not on my radar at all until I watched one of my favorite TikTokers give a glowing review. While I didn’t love it as much as she did, it was still enjoyable. 

I couldn’t imagine receiving a phone call from my husband telling me he’s sorry and then boom his gone from this earth. Anna moves into the dumpy apartment her husband was using as his “art space”, to find out what happened to him.  First off why is my husband paying for an art space outside of our home? That was problematic for me. There is trust and there is woeful ignorance. 

The other main character was Cass. She broke one of my cardinal rules, not having her own ish! Her man broke up with her and put her out of HIS home! She ended up at the Sycamore Apartments as the handy woman. She did some questionable things for money. Of course it went sideways. There were some serious characters there and they made an unconventional group but they were a family. 

The Vacancy in Room 10 was a great book to make the weekend go by faster.
