"Like the start of a rash, one can never say exactly when it began, except to say that it always seemed to this way."
" She told me girls couldn't have weaknesses, that the moment they did someone would take advantage, 'A girl has to be strong if she's going to survive this world', she said."
" She can see now that a person can be more whole with broken parts."

4.5
The first was a character study of an apartment building filled with haunted people, living in a (lightly) haunted building. Sana, the main character, is adrift after the death of her sister and mother. She investigates the residents of the building and its history, digging deeper and deeper until she discovers the horrific story of the builder of the home.
The second timeline follows the original home builder, his family, and the tragedy that befalls them. It’s dark and ominous and you can’t help but root for the safety of the main POV in that timeline even knowing that things are not going to turn out well. Finally, the two timelines merge in an exciting and satisfying ending.
This was beautifully written and haunting.
