The title makes you think the woman is there by choice. Maybe she was just renting space in the home of a man and his daughter, or maybe she is just trying to stay alive. She makes rules to stay alive and it has worked for five years. Who is the tenant, why is she there, and how did she stay alive? From page one these are all the questions that were runnning in my head.

This book is a gripping thriller and many may compare the Room. I think it is bettter than that one, It did take me a bit to understand if I was in the past or the present with the titles of the chapters. It only refers to a woman and where she is at that moment, Once I got used to it and moved along in the story it all fell into place. I guess that is my only con. I really liked the characters and the story was well written. This is a really good debut novel, I will certainly pick up the next one.

Thank you to NetGalley for the opportunity to read in exchange for my honest review. Honestly, it was a solid 4 star read.
