I went into this book blind, I just chose it off my long lists of books I've had on hold at the library for who knows how long. I read the Echo Wife a while ago and didn't love it so wasn't sure what to expect from this.

Just Like Home is hard to describe. It's about a woman who goes home to take care of her dying mom who she lost contact with after a traumatic childhood which is revealed to us slowly. First of all, I found it super terrifying. If you were ever scared of the dark or if you still are (like me) parts of this book will probably scare you a lot. Sarah Gailey does a great job of making you feel like you're deep into the story and truly experiencing it.

I've loved a lot of monsters myself, and I understand how it feels to love someone or something that is just wrong. And to wonder what that says about yourself.

The book took a lot of turns that I wasn't expecting and I've seen a few reviewers who disliked the ending. It was definitely different than I imagined, but I liked it. It was very sad in my opinion. This book definitely won't be for everyone but I'd recommend it to those who like horror, gothic novels, and domestic thrillers.
