I thought Spare Room was fun, dark, and suspenseful. I learned not to always believe what you have been told your entire life. It had me gasping at the end of most of the chapters because of revelations. While it has funny parts, it is a sad story of loss, identity, , mental illness, secrets, betrayal, loyalty, and discovering the truth despite adversity. I give Lisa a lot of credit for being brave and smart during her journey of discovery. Even when everyone else doubts you, stick to your convictions. I am glad it worked out for her because it could have gone another way very easily. This book makes me realize I don't want to ever rent a room in anyone's home ever again. Good book.

This was a quick enjoyable read, although it was very far fetched! I liked the main character but felt like she made some really bad decisions.
There were some good twists and from the start nothing was quite what it seemed.
I’ll look out for other books by this author.

This was a rollercoaster ride of a book. At times, dragging, climbing toward the sudden drop of what was going on inside that house. Some of the surprise turns, I definitely saw coming, some I did not. All in all, an amazing story!
