I really really enjoyed this book up until the last couple of paragraphs. I think it is such an interesting concept as in usually with home invasion thrillers we have people breaking in who have the main goal of harming or hurting the victims and this book is a great flip of that. Most of our home invaders are  sympathetic and you get the feeling they wouldn’t be there if they didn’t have to be. The dynamics of the characters are very interesting and it is such an interesting book overall. I’m very excited for the movie!

A really tense and interesting read. The ambiguity of the circumstances the characters are stuck in makes you unsure of who to root for, of who is right and who is wrong, but that makes it all the more engaging.
