(NEWEST on TBR)
Libby receives a letter near her 25th birthday telling her that she has inherited a house. A house that she never knew of.
We are then taken on a journey with a disjointed timeline told by 3 different people - Libby, Lucy, and Henry.
At times the story was suspenseful, at times creepy, and several times questionable. Like the development of one character that seemed to go nowhere. ( no spoiler) And the ending seem to be undeveloped, maybe to rushed? Not sure, I just did not like how Ms. Jewell ended the book.
So I was not super impressed with my 1st novel by Lisa Jewell but I will give her another try.
GoodReads summary:
Be careful who you let in.
Soon after her twenty-fifth birthday, Libby Jones returns home from work to find the letter she’s been waiting for her entire life. She rips it open with one driving thought: I am finally going to know who I am.
She soon learns not only the identity of her birth parents, but also that she is the sole inheritor of their abandoned mansion on the banks of the Thames in London’s fashionable Chelsea neighborhood, worth millions. Everything in Libby’s life is about to change. But what she can’t possibly know is that others have been waiting for this day as well—and she is on a collision course to meet them.
