The New House by Tess Stimson
5.0
What's it like being a psychopath? This book will tell you.
This book was soooooo unexpected. I've had it on my shelf for a while but just decided to read it. It got a lot of good reviews and let me tell you the hype is real. What a ride.
The story follows three women:
Stacey is a wealthy glamorous host of a morning show. Well liked and famous. Her and her husband Felix are selling their beautiful unique "glass house"
Millie is a brilliant cardiothoracic surgeon who dreams of living in the glass house.
Harper is a well known vlogger who wants to buy Millie's home. She a little quirky and a little annoying.
Of course things go wrong. One of the sales does not go through and it basically throws a monkey wrench into the plans of the other couples. But it's crazy the lengths people will go to to get what they want.
I'm not familiar with this author but she does an amazing job. I don't know if she already had medical knowledge or if it's all research but everything was accurate. I'm in the medical field and I can't tell you how annoying it is when you read or watch something that isn't medically accurate.
The story gives an insight into the mind of a psychopath. One of the main characters deem themselves a psychopath or sociopath. It's interesting reading how a person doesn't have the same instincts as other people. How some people have no remorse or empathy.
The chapters are told in the perspective of Millie, Stacey and Harper. There's the blog that Harper is writing that is also mixed in as well as a SET talk with the "psychopath" who witnessed the events at the glass house.
So what happened at the glass house?
This book will make you question everything. It's left me shocked at the end and a little sad.
I'm definitely recommending this book. I'm fact I may have to check out some more by this author.
5/5 stars
