Review:
At first I thought this book was going to be a boring mystery that I wouldn't be able to finish. I read that others say to keep with it & I am so glad I did! I have been researching about DID a lot for the past couple years. Reading all I can about it. All because I have memory issues. From what I have researched this book lets you get into the head space of a person with DID.
I couldn't help but fall in love with all the characters. Even Ted & Dee. It took about 1/3 of the book to get the idea Lauren had DID. It wasn't until Olivia found out they where alters of Ted's that I also got that idea. All the way up until the alters started to become aware of each other, I really thought Ted was the killer of LuLu.
This book is one of the best books I have read this year. I dare say it would be a reread in a few years.
Goodreads Description:
Catriona Ward's The Last House on Needless Street is a shocking and immersive read perfect for fans of Gone Girl and The Haunting of Hill House.
In a boarded-up house on a dead-end street at the edge of the wild Washington woods lives a family of three.
A teenage girl who isn’t allowed outside, not after last time.
A man who drinks alone in front of his TV, trying to ignore the gaps in his memory.
And a house cat who loves napping and reading the Bible.
An unspeakable secret binds them together, but when a new neighbor moves in next door, what is buried out among the birch trees may come back to haunt them all.
