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!
