The House No One Sees is a young adult novel told in prose and in verse. It took me some time to feel situated with the main character, a teenager named Penny whose mother is struggling with opioid addiction. 

Once I settled in to the writing style, I found I liked the poetry much more than the prose that was used to tie it together. And while I did enjoy the poetry, it did lean on some common elements that feel overplayed to me. A few poems towards the end stand out as among the best. 

Overall, I found this to be a very middle of the road YA book in verse that does not top my list for this writing style. I hoped for more.
