Model Home might just be my favorite read of the year. It’s a beautifully written tale about the horrors of assimilation and trauma. It’s a unique story unlike any I’ve ever read before and a really fascinating take on the haunted house genre. This novel is definitely not for the faint of heart and might be a little too dark for people who don’t like to see their souls laid bare on a page but I really enjoyed the honest POV the author injected into this story.
