Our House by Louise Candlish
5.0

Our House is a psychological book. There seems to be the other shoe just hanging out of reach. The reader knows that something is going to happen, there is some crazy and wonderful twist just around the next page. Louise Candlish did an amazing job keeping the reader wondering but giving them enough clues to keep them guessing as to where the story is going.

The chapters are written by Fiona, the wife, in a podcast form and Bram, the husband, in a letter form. They were both easy to follow, easy to understand, and enlightening as to what each were thinking at the time. I liked that I could know what each person was thinking when something was going on. It was also interesting to see how they perceived different events affecting each other. Bram seemed to know Fiona very good but he had kept many many secrets from Fiona that caused her view of him to not be quite so true to character.

Our House is on my list of the best of 2018. I could not put the book down, I was intrigued from the beginning, and was excited by the ending. This is a book that I will recommend over and over again to anyone and everyone who says hmm…what should I read next? The answer is easy Our House by Louise Candlish.
