Like a House on Fire by Lauren McBrayer
5.0
Merit is returning to her architectural career after years of feeling unfulfilled as a wife and stay-at-home mom. She’s dazzled by her new boss, Jane, and the two women soon develop a deep friendship. For the first time in many years, Merit feels seen. As Merit and Jane’s relationship grows, Merit starts to question everything she’s built her life upon.
There are a lot of complex issues, moral ambiguity and, a lot of feelings wrapped up in this little gem; The writing in this book is incredible – raw, witty, emotional, and REAL. The intensity of those feelings and the thoughts they provoke are what make “Like a House on Fire” a standout read.
