I received a copy of this novel from the publisher via NetGalley.

This was an odd read - I'm not sure exactly what genre it qualifies as. For most of the novel nothing happens at all. Amy and Rob buy a house and move in with their son Noah. Amy unpacks, Amy does freelance work, Rob's parents babysit so they can go out for dinner, Noah starts preschool. Noah has a fever - it is 99.9F in the evening and 100.1F in the morning. Amy passes on mail the previous owners have failed to get redirected. It was like reading the journal of some one living a normal life - very dull to an outsider.

Then the plot appears to thicken as the mail Amy receives for the previous owners reveals they are in financial difficulties, but even this drags for ever without anything coming of it. Amy accidentally opens one of these letters and agonizes about what to do about her knowledge of the contents.

Towards the end things do come to something of a head, but even then it is all smoothed over and it seems as if everything will work out in the long run. Not a terrible read (although the writing is unsophisticated), just very dull.

A realistic, engaging read! I loved this book. The writing style is fantastic, and the story is so real, it could be about anyone.

Excited to read more from Paige Roberts.

Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC!
