Such Nice People by Sandra Scoppettone

4.0
What a weird book. Not to say I didn’t enjoy reading it, but the summary for this thing just says Tom wants to kill his family before Christmas, and then straight off the bat Tom’s having conversations with an interdimensional being.
I liked the exploration of all of the suburban drama, the silent judgement, the impossibility of keeping secrets, and the constant refrain of needing to keep up the pretense of a happy family, but wow was everything with Tom so much weirder than I could have ever anticipated.
