I gotta lot to say and IG stay stingy with the character count. So lemme jump in Things I dug about this one the dive into gentrification and Devil's night. Makes me want to look more into that and learn more because I feel ignorant and I am not. Sammy was absolutely one of my favorite little kid characters ever and he's not a main character. I also enjoyed little badass (Piper) when we got to the end and yes i don't care that the end i felt for her she was still doing thangs she knew she shouldn't have. She was the epitome of flawed and i loved how she peeled layer on layer all the way through. The actual dive into a blended family and how when mixing a swirl couple sometimes everybody butts heads be it racial outlooks, "my" kid phrases. That always gets glossed over. The story was also great. THE DAMN BEDBUGS!! I swear this book had me itching. I love the "twist" here, because honestly as many people have reported things like this happening that's scary! That seem short? Felt rushed? 😬 The things i hated. The pacing. Oh my lanta the pace felt so slow and stretched out to get us to what was actually going on, a bunch of unnecessary filler. The narrator of this audible. I disliked this narrator VA so badly it put me off, so I'll be getting the physical or ebook to see if that fixes things for me. Speaking of narrator. The main character, Mari she felt surface to me like the author wanted to dive into her and just kept pulling back at the last minute. As I said earlier the pacing. Went from grandmama on a walker with the tennis balls at the bottom to speedy Gonzales having drank two red bulls. Like the reveal hit and then it was over. I don't know i just want feeling that conclusion it felt very "ok done now!" I feel like this would have been better as a short story versus a full fledge novel because the story was phenomenal, it just needed too much filler on the front end to make it a full book. Love TDJ still this was just not the book i was hoping for. ℍ𝕒𝕡𝕡𝕪 ℝ𝕖𝕒𝕕𝕚𝕟𝕘 ᒍAY MAY OUT!

Great audiobook. Ending felt rushed and unfinished to me. Loved the rest though!

My adult self did not have the patience for these damn kids.. but the story has a little twist

Omggg this book had me shook! Tiffany is my favorite author and this was so we'll written, give her a movie deal !

I was expecting more, this was suspense and not much else, but half way through you can speculate pretty quickly the ending. Also we are kept in suspense for this huge secret to be revealed, the secret that caused the entire family to be uprooted in the first place and it was not the serious, at least not to me. It was good but I wanted more
