I really enjoyed this read. It had an interesting storyline and I love the house so so much. The resolution felt a little rushed compared to the rest of it. It had some dark, emotional events but all of the commentary and relationship dynamics lightened the mood of it. Very much (like exactly) a chosen family novel.
