Model home is about racism, hatred, and childhood trauma. How we run from the things we can’t face until we can’t run anymore, haunted by the moments that shaped and plague us.
Amazingly diverse representation in this novel, heartbreaking prose, and characters you feel you know. This one was a difficult read and it went to so many places I didn’t expect. This reminded me a lot of White is for switching, where the house itself may or may not actually be the issue here….

I definitely think it can be can be considered a horror in that it has the effect of disturbing, shocking and scaring the reader as they learn of the ways these children have suffered. With this said, it's a horror in a fully unexpected way and people expecting a really traditional horror novel may be disappointed.
Those who have grown up with similar traumas will see themselves reflected in this story in a way that's likely to be very painful but may also be cathartic. For everyone else, this is a story that sticks with you in many ways. I expect to think about it for a long time.
