Under the Roof
I was completely captivated by the mysteries of Thunderbird Lane and the antics of Aggie the protagonist. It became one of those books that I didn't want to stop reading even after I'd finished…. If you're looking for a page-turner to read…look no further than this book!

Have you ever met someone, and based on your first impression of them, given them a nickname?
When Aggie Drakos loses her husband, Max, in a shameful accident, she relocates. As Aggie settles in and meets her new neighbors, she forms speculative opinions about her acquaintances, giving them nicknames to help her remember their personas. Aggie is fascinated by the Cat Lady, stunned by the beauty of the Irish Goddess, and intrigued by the Absent Nun. Let us not forget her sexy male neighbor, whom she has nicknamed Richard Gere.
Are these neighbors who they appear to be? Will Aggie’s nicknames hold? Or will she discover she is misguided when she gets under their roofs and learns their life stories?
Under the Roof is written with an air of mystery, coupled with humorous undertones. This book will have you guessing and smiling on every page.
When reading a book by Angela Enos, you will want to explore the unexpected twists and delightful surprises that await you on every written page. Through wit and charm, Angela will invite you to embark on unforgettable journeys.
You won't want to put this book down, so open the cover and get under the roof.

Under The Roof has been one of my fav reads of this year.
I was captivated by the main character Aggie and her wonderful way of thinking, we are similar in a lot of ways and I felt like I was prowling around the neighbourhood with her, experiencing her adventures and trying to solve the mystery of the Meth House and many other antics.
This novel has a wonderful cast of characters, each of them fantastically quirky. You’ll fall in love with Richard ‘Gere’, hangout with a self-certified crazy cat lady Fern and become besties with a ex nun Abigail.
Every single one of them has their own story to tell and you won’t be disappointed.
If you’re looking for a book to cozy up with this winter I would definitely suggest you pick up this novel!
