Thank you Black Spot Books and NetGalley for allowing me to read an e-arc of this book.


The story of Josie, a living mess, freshly divorced, lonely, and alcoholic woman, who likes to live alone. One day she has a new Neighbor, Sue, and vines are growing in her garden. And the vines come with a gift named Skelly. A passive-aggressive kind of philosophical skeleton questioning her life.


At first, I was bored. Then Skelly appeared and she was so funny. She’s my favorite. But the book wasn’t what I expected. I didn’t get attached to the characters, I didn’t feel a lot for them. And there’s no big plot. It’s a character-driven book, but something was off, especially with Josie. Well, I understood her, at some point, but yes. However, the relationships between them saved the book.


So, in conclusion, it’s not a bad book, but I guess it wasn’t for me either.
