A House With Good Bones by T. Kingfisher
4.0
funny tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

It feels a little like we went from 0-100 on the supernatural elements, but that's mostly because Sam brushed off so many odd happenings with real life explanations. That was always going to be necessary when they established her as a practical scientist, so I don'tnecessarily think it'sa narrative flaw - she really did need to see to believe. I actually wish we had more time with the horror elements, but the character work was extremely relateable.
