Like a House on Fire
by Lauren McBrayer
I loved this story. I think I liked it more because I could relate to the main character, Merit, on so many levels. Being married for years, having children and trying to build a career back up afterwards. Losing one’s identity in motherhood is something I don’t think many people talk about. That is what really drew me into this story.
The friendship that started between Merit and Jane was also relatable to me and my best friend. Started out as the boss and turned into a friendship. While the romance part between Merit and Jane seemed quick and could have more development, I still understood it. The “spicy” scenes were not graphic, just implied.
The ending was what you kind of wanted to happen, but definitely took me by surprise as the story played out.
