The Family Upstairs
by Lisa Jewell
I kept stopping and starting this one and at 30 percent gave up and moved onto two other books instead. I just think that Lisa Jewell is at best miss for me at this point. I think I will just check out a sample before I just borrow or buy anymore. This is the first in a duology I believe, and I have zero intention of finishing this.
The only thing I can tell you is that a woman named Libby finds out about her biological family and that she was left a house by them. The family doesn't sound great at all with the little excerpts we get. But then the book shifts to another woman and the fact she seems to have some type of connection to Libby and she's focused (the other woman) on getting her son and daughter off the streets and buying back her instrument.
I can honestly tell you at 30 percent in, the book is murky and confusing. And of course a thriller should not be telling you things right away, but nothing made any sense at all to me and the flow wasn't helping.
I really wish that it had been better to keep me invested, but it just kept going on and on with nothing that was really hitting me as I must finish this. Since I have so many books on deck this time of the year, I just really don't feel the need to finish at my displeasure.
