Okay, I admit – I really enjoy the messy familial drama! This book was full of scandalous moments and I ate it up! Loved Sam & Gabe and was happy that I could predict certain gay moments in the book. A lot of the other characters in this novel were not that great or even that interesting, honestly. Sam was the best character in the story and the whole thing could have been about him and I would have given this book 5 stars! I thought the chapters where the house was sentient were really strange, but the drama & conclusion are solid. Nice read!
