I was definitely interested and didn’t want to put the book down. There were a few loose ends that I wish were tied up at the end

like what was the deal with Cassandra blaming Meredith for her husband’s infidelity? I feel like that didn’t add anything to the plot. Also, I wish it was revealed that Marty and Shelby were having an affair, it would have made sense.

the reveal at the end was good but not crazy shocking.

This book was an awesome read! It details how, unbeknownst to an upper-middle class woman, her home is being shared by another woman who is experiencing homelessness. 
Juno, the woman experiencing homelessness, is living in a park across the street from Winnie and her small family. Juno is accidentally trapped in Winnie’s house and before she can escape, she overhears a conversation between Winnie and her husband that exposes Winnie’s deepest secret. Juno is terminally ill and has made it her final mission to expose Winnie’s sin before she succumbs to Lupus.

Was I on the edge of my seat for some of this? Yes. 
Was it good? No. 
Was there unnecessary and detailed medical trauma sprinkled in that in no way contributed to the story? Yes.
