The Spare Room by Andrea Bartz
2.0
[2023 BEACH BOOK 2]
this is another book that shouldn’t technically be on my beach books list because I started it before vacation but I finished it on vacation so I’m going to count it. this just didn’t work for me. the book was set during the pandemic which already isn’t my favorite (also I feel like the author just included that to isolate the characters but then just ignored the pandemic when convenient) and I just really did not click with the main character. the setting of a big mansion in rural northern virginia was really fun but it couldn’t save the rest of the book. ALSO do NOT read the blurb/synopsis before reading this book it has major spoilers!
