I did not know that the book was going to follow 3 completely different stories of people renting the beach house, so it took me a while to figure out the format. It was a bit like having 3 separate books in one novel. The house & the neighbors next door were the components that ties into each story in some way. That being said, I found each segment to be very compelling & interesting. Right now, I’d like nothing better than to read more by this author. Lots more!
