Just Like Home

While listening to this book, I came up with a really fun game:

Take a shot every time:
-Vera mentions something along the lines of “my father built this house”
-The words “grease” and “lemonade” is mentioned
-Vera snaps her fingers four times
-You find yourself saying “What the fuck?”

I really liked this book, until I didn't.

Pros:
Sarah Gailey is an amazing author. I loved Echo Wife.
I did not predict the ending, but that doesn't mean I liked it.
I loved Francis. IDGAF, he's dad of the year. Dad of the century, even.

Cons:
Fuck Daphne
The repetition of so many phrases and words
That stupid plot twist

Really did not like that it was the house ITSELF that was haunting Daphne and protecting Vera but I like that I had no idea what was gonna happen. I also hate James. Why is he here? To be a nuisance? Because it worked. There's also a lot of little plot points that we get no explanation to. I find myself wondering just exactly what happened to Francis, or even Brandon. I found myself speculating too much, and I wish I just told what happened.

3/5 stars, docked points for the repetition and goofy ending.
