Somebody's Home by Kaira Rouda
3.0
dark mysterious fast-paced

Fast paced domestic drama about 2 families.
Julie has left with her daughter Jess from their husbands/dad Roger. 

They move into the home that once belonged to Sandi, her husband Doug, and get two boys. Her stepson, Tom, lives in a carriage house and he's being evicted..... But he doesn't want to leave.

The whole book takes place over 3 days but you get a whole lot of background on all these characters. A lot of them make bad choices but a few of them are trying to better their lives. 

Two of these people will have a media frenzy come down upon them for very bad choices. But this affects them all. 

I didn't feel I got a whole lot of satisfaction out of this as I would have liked to. I wish m wanted more suspense and more mystery as to certain characters motives. I would have liked them come out more slowly, not just sudden.
