The book is now setting stage, new character is introduced who is probably going to turn her world upside down

So far, it feels a bit underwhelming in terms of the knowledge it imparts. While there are definitely some insightful moments—that truly resonate—many chapters feel misplaced, making me question their relevance. The book doesn’t fully capture the essence of a self-help guide; instead, it reads more like a collection of thoughts, some of which are brilliant, while others feel scattered or unnecessary.

The book still feels like it’s in the stage-setting phase. The author seems intent on helping the reader truly understand Hanna, peeling back the layers of her character one by one. Some of these layers are unsettling, while others make her feel like just an ordinary woman—which, in a way, makes her even more intriguing.

First four chapters review:

The stories are rooted in everyday reality, with the ghostly presences emerging subtly from Krishan's finely crafted narratives. While not filled with gore or jump scares, these ghost stories linger in the mind, challenging the reader's skepticism about the paranormal. Krishan seems to believe in ghosts, yet maintains a level of uncertainty that adds an extra layer of intrigue.

"Under One Roof" by Ali Hazelwood is a charming read, spotlighting the genuine romance between Mara and Liam rooted in friendship. Though marred by excessive characters and unresolved subplots, like Liam's aunt's wish, the book impresses with its authentic, non-clichéd ending.
