The Family Remains by Lisa Jewell
2.0

As the sequel to The Family Upstairs, I reread the book so everything was fresh. I probably would have enjoyed this sequel a bit more if I hadn’t immediately reread the first book. The Family Upstairs is so good, it is hard for the sequel to fill it’s shoes. Honestly this sequel wasn’t really necessary. It wasn’t a thriller, didn’t have much going on, & just felt overall very meh. Characters like Lucy and Rachel were very hard to read their POVs because their actions were just so frustrating. I’d only recommend this if you loved the first book and want to see how the characters end up.
