I really had to sit with this one before I worked out how I felt about it. The writing was engaging and I found it hard to put down, reading as much as I could at every break I had in a day. The characters were interesting, but I struggled with Aretha’s relationship with Aaron. I never believed they were really in love, which I think is because Aretha couldn’t figure out what she wanted, but so many of her choices hinging on him made me want more from them, at least from their honeymoon phase. 

Despite how their Maine trip blew up, I wanted Aaron to have been more of a manipulator all the way through. I also really wish the termites weren’t revealed as the cause of the wall cracks until after it fell, that could have been a hilarious plot twist, but it was given up too soon.

Overall, very funny and weird read that I’ll be thinking about for a long time!
