I read this for the "Ours But Not Our Own" by Joshua Tong story, in pursuit of finding another new-to-me author for the WBTM Author Speed Date Challenge. It's the story of a young urban couple who housesit in the suburbs for the week. During their stay in the burbs, however, an alternate reality slowly emerges for them. Which one is real?

I liked this, but it didn't knock my socks off!
