Review of "Other People's Houses" on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
What a slow moving book. One of the plot points mentioned in the blurb doesn't happen until fully halfway into the book and the book only gets moderately more interesting at that point. It doesn't get fully interesting until about 90% where all of the slow-burning threads are starting to unravel.
I liked this and I found it well written. The author certainly does a good job of capturing the minutia of daily life with kids, and she does a good job of shifting through so many POVs. I picked this up because the blurb made it sound juicier than it actually was. I liked it, but I also found it sedate, so I'm not sure I would read anything else by the author.
