The September House by Carissa Orlando
3.0

I'm not even sure what to think about this one. I feel like it tried to be too many things at the same time, and it ended up being nothing. The premise was great, but I feel like it didn't deliver. Changes of tone were not my cup of tea, and the whole thing dragged for too long. Like I kept waiting the whole time for something interesting to happen, and it never did. All the "plot twists" were painfully obvious. On the plus side, the narrator was amazing, and the story has a mature and realistic approach to mental health. It was ok debut.
