matthewdafoe 's review for:
The New House
by Tess Stimson
This was my first read by this author and surely won’t be my last! This was a very solid psychological thriller that IMO is completely undersold by the synopsis. It is so much more than couples buying a nice glass house!
Writing: 4/5 - Plot: 4/5 - Ending: 4.5/5
This was written well, and written in a clever way that had me guessing, and on edge. I just felt the fatphobia parts were unnecessary. I actually cared for the characters and was surprised they had quite a bit of depth behind them. I loved the surgery and medical discussion portions honestly, I thought it was very interesting as I’m in nursing school and happen to love Greys Anatomy. (lol)
I really liked the format of the “Ted” talks as well as the vlogging between the normal chapters. It kept me interested and intrigued.
The plot is so much more than the synopsis! It got darker than I anticipated quite fast. I loved that though. The plot could’ve moved along faster in my opinion and there was some filler, but I felt it was worth it.
I personally really enjoyed the ending, even though I had a sense of the direction it was going to take, I still really enjoyed it!
