The Family Upstairs

This was a pretty good, pretty fast read. I did not see it taking such a culty turn. Basically, without giving too much away I would say this was ‘The Silent Patient' meets anything having to do with the Manson cult minus the blatantly obvious killing and writing “piggy” on the wall in blood. I really appreciated all of the perspectives of the story as it juggles 3 totally different people's lives. Starting, the narrators have nothing in common, ending, they having everything in common. I don't really think this was the best name for the book. Very intriguing, but the family upstairs didn't really happen for very long. But this was a good book, worth the hype. I would recommend. All the characters were believable, and I believe that the audiobook's choice in narrators was what really made the book and plot believable. Especially the guy who played Henry and woman who played Lucy. Very raw and emotional performance on both their parts. I liked them both very much. The ending? Maybe could have wrapped up better. Personally I prefer more tragedy in my psychological fiction, but this was good. If anyone wants a lighthearted ending (perhaps?) this is for you. Would recommend and would probably read again.
