** spoiler alert ** 
 This book is not what I expected at all. It was interesting how the book spanned and happened over 2 or 3 days but it felt like it was longer than that. 
 I'm not sure I liked Lucy. I know it was very hard for her being the last child left that had to live with her mom but OMG, I could never leave my parent who was dead in the house! And then she thought the best way to fix the situation was to set fire to the house, what are you thinking child?!?!?! Plus I wanted to find out more about what happened after the fire but the book just ended so I don't know. 
 The one thing that I actually liked about this book was (even though it was gross), the author was very descriptive with what the house looked like and I could picture it to a "T". 
 The book was a fast read but took me a long time to read I think because it kind of dragged. I think students that watch the show hoarding will enjoy this.
