Our House, by Louise Candlish

Title: Our House
Author: Louise Candlish
Publication date: August 7th, 2018



Review:

First, I want to thank NetGalley for allowing me this ARC in exchange for an honest review. Even though I didn't connect with the book as I hoped I would, I can definitely value the author's hardwork.

Fiona (Fi) arrives to her house after a weekend away only to discover people moving in, claiming they have bought the house legally. The narration jumps from Fiona, telling her story on a podcast, to her ex-husband telling his version of the story on a Word document, to the present day when Fiona discovers her house has been sold.

I truly wanted to like this book. I really did. The story line sounded amazing, but I was disappointed by the lack of action this genre (thriller) usually contains. The story focuses almost solely on character development. Though I liked this aspect, I thought it made the story drag along without anything happening.

I give it three stars because the book was really well written and because the premise was original. It just wasn't the book for me.
