The Opposite House by Helen Oyeyemi
3.0
I just noticed it took me a little over a month to finish this book, yet it felt like it took me at least three months to finish such a short novel. I really had to push myself to continue to the end.
There are two stories going on, Maja's and Aya's. I grew fond of Maja and her family, I related so much to her so called "hysterics" that I feel I can finally place a label on the madness that I sometimes feel dwelling inside. Unfortunately I cannot say the same for Aya. It was confusing, halfway through the book was when I actually noticed their was another story happening... This kind of pushes me to re-read the story again. It's a short read so it wouldn't set me out of my way.
