Audrey's door

Audrey's door

2009 • 412 pages

A little different from the previous two books, this focuses mainly on the titular character, an OCD Nebraska girl with a rough past and insane mother. It's about her life, her problems, and her creepy new apartment building filled with creepy old crazy folks. The building is also evil and part of the Chaotic Naturalist movement, which I'm not dying to read more about. There was a slow patch in the middle, but, all in all, I quite liked it. Like always, a central theme is mother/daughter relationships, and Audrey herself has trouble relating to people, even the man she loves. But it's delightful, sad, personal, and nicely creepy.
