The House No One Sees by Adina King

4.5

I found this book to be devastating but hopeful. It's truly a piece of art.
I don't read poetry often -- honestly, sometimes I feel too dumb for it 😅 and I often don't want to ponder over what I'm reading for too long.

The House No One Sees utilizes verse to tell the story of Penny's childhood and prose for the present day narrative. This is a highly affective story telling tool that creates a more unique reading experience; it's not something I have seen often (not saying it doesn't exist but that I haven't encountered it).

There are A LOT of difficult topics including addiction, drug use, overdose, child abuse/neglect. Please proceed with caution if these topics could be triggering for you.


I was given a gift copy for review, all thoughts are my own.
