Status Updates From The Water House

Okay, it started super slow, now it’s starting to get weird (which was why I was intrigued to read it)

I’m not really sure what’s going on right now. A lot of storytelling but nothing is happening. Then, the narrator sounds American and that’s just throwing me off. Trying to make your voice have an African accent but you sound American while doing it just doesn’t work.

i am mostly enjoying this but i’m having trouble with the way dari got mad at her…like i would understand if he broke it off because it got to the papers, or he broke it off because she’d gone to the reform school (though he already knew that) but i don’t feel like the article clipping actually was in favor of her having done it so him getting mad that she lied and killed her brother is not so believable…

Not horror or gothic but deep, personal dive into a woman troubled by a childhood tragedy. Well done.

Wish I'd read the blurb before committing to read this: not a fan of horror.
