These two families converge when Elena, the matriarch of the Richardson family, invites Pearl and Mia to live in their rental house in addition to employing Mia to work in her house. Throughout the novel, Elena and Mia encounter many clashes with each other as a result of their differing beliefs, lifestyles, and socio-economic statuses. In addition, both mothers also often face a number of different conflicts with their children, stirring up new conflicts and drama on every page.
I thought this was an incredible novel. The story was one of the most interesting and unique plots I have ever read. I was always kept on the edge of my seat by all of the secrets and mysteries to be uncovered. The book was always filled with so much drama and so many different events, so there was truly never a dull moment. Every character had so much depth and so many different layers to explore as the story progressed. I loved the complexity of the characters and their relationships to one another, as well as the complexity of the storyline. With each new reveal and discovery, I felt a range of different emotions and an intense desire to keep reading and find out more. The story touches on two very interesting, yet different, family dynamics and the explosive drama that occurs when they are brought together.
I would recommend this book for young adult readers. I think anyone who enjoys fiction, drama, suspense, and romance will love this book.
