Thank you @prhaudio @riverheadbooks for a copy of
this audiobook. 

There's so much to unpack with this book from being biracial, keeping up with Jones's to the struggles of being an artist/writer. The story is told in Jane's POV as she is house sitting her friend's home in an affluent LA hills community. I enjoyed seeing her relationship with her children and Lenny and the people she meets while living in the hills. 

The writing is entertaining and I was frustrated with Jane and decisions at parts of the book. The kids really stole the show and added so much humor to the book. 

Kristen Ariza did a great job with the narration as Jane.
