Book: Our House
Author: Louise Candlish
Pages: 416
This is my 56th read for the year
This is the story of Fiona "Fi" Lawson. She has a gorgeous house that has been her dream home since the first time she saw it. Mother of two boys, she comes home one day to another family moving into her house. Sure there has been a mistake because she has not sold her home, she starts to unravel what has happened. She calls her ex-husband - the man she has made an arrangement with to share them home to minimally disrupt the lives of their children - and cannot get ahold of him. What unfolds is the backstory of what lead Fi to this point and all the secrets that her ex-husband kept from her. As things spiral out of control, Fi leans on her friend and neighbor to help figure out what happened and how she lost her home without her knowledge.
This was a pretty good mystery. I enjoyed the building of the story of Fi and Bram (who is an awful person) hoping that Fi can get her home back the entire time the story unfolds. However - the ending was horrible. It just.....ends. It was like the author couldn't figure out how they wanted to end the book so they just didn't. I was furious. Hours spend reading and becoming invested in Fi's story to have it end the way it did was ridiculous. So upsetting.
