I thought Spare Room was fun, dark, and suspenseful. I learned not to always believe what you have been told your entire life. It had me gasping at the end of most of the chapters because of revelations. While it has funny parts, it is a sad story of loss, identity, , mental illness, secrets, betrayal, loyalty, and discovering the truth despite adversity. I give Lisa a lot of credit for being brave and smart during her journey of discovery. Even when everyone else doubts you, stick to your convictions. I am glad it worked out for her because it could have gone another way very easily. This book makes me realize I don't want to ever rent a room in anyone's home ever again. Good book.
