This was super engrossing and I could not put it down. It's sort of a character study about all the people in this Cleveland suburb - focused on the Richardson family and their new tenants, Mia and her daughter Pearl. The relationships were complicated, and several stories here overlapped and intertwined. I liked how we got a glimpse into the lives of nearly every character in this book, even those mentioned just in passing. And those stories effected how the action of this book turned out. I didn't like all of the characters, but through their stories and their backgrounds, I could understand each characters' point of view. No one was entirely good, and no one was a complete villain. Almost every character made me angry at one point, but made me like them at another.
I did find myself wishing we got more information at the end though. I wanted to know more about Trip's reaction, Izzy's next steps, etc. Also, I loved all the 90s references.
