Review of Our House by Louise Candlish

I received a copy of this book via NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

On a bright January morning in the London suburbs, a family moves into the house they’ve just bought in Trinity Avenue. 

Nothing strange about that. Except it is your house. And you didn’t sell it. 

When Fiona Lawson comes home to find strangers moving into her house, she's sure there's been a mistake. She and her estranged husband, Bram, have a modern co-parenting arrangement: bird's nest custody, where each parent spends a few nights a week with their two sons at the prized family home to maintain stability for their children. But the system built to protect their family ends up putting them in terrible jeopardy. In a domino effect of crimes and misdemeanors, the nest comes tumbling down.

Now Bram has disappeared and so have Fiona's children. As events spiral well beyond her control, Fiona will discover just how many lies her husband was weaving and how little they truly knew each other. But Bram's not the only one with things to hide, and some secrets are best kept to oneself, safe as houses.

My Review:
5 Stars 

Fiona comes home to her worst nightmare, people moving into her house. The house that her children have called home for years. The house that holds indiscretions, secrets and memories. 

From that moment the story shifts between Bram and Fiona's point of view. Letting the reader in on what went wrong...in the multiple different situations that these two characters find themselves in. Fiona trying to unravel Bram's trail of lies and deception and Bram showing you how he was forced into her recent situations. 

A great contemplative story about the decisions we make and the consequences that come with them.
