The House in the Orchard by Elizabeth Brooks

3.0

I liked this story, especially the way it was told through diary entries from a 13-y/o who was pretty confused about what a lot of her adult relatives were talking about. Her family truly warped her viewpoint, so are any of her bad decisions really her fault??? I wish the setting had been a little better developed. It was spooky but could've been spookier if the reader was better immersed into the environment. I also didn't care much for the present timeline and think the story may have been better without it.
