reader ´ The Smell of Other People's Houses ✓ Bonnie-Sue Hitchcock
Escape where she comes from even when good luck strikes Alyce is trying to reconcile her desire to dance with the life she’s always known on her family’s fishing boat Hank and not going to lie the only reason i picked this up was because the title randomly caught my eye which is very unlike me i usually prefer to look at other reviews and ratings before buying a book but i decided to go on an impulsive whim and after finishing this i still think the title and its significance is the best part of the book this was a cute story and well written but it felt like it was spread a little too thin the main concept of the book is how lives can impact and intertwine with others and that is shown through the lives of four different kids growing up in rural alaska however this is a very short book if anything it felt like an extended short story and i just did not get enough time to bond with the characters had this been longer or the amount of perspectives reduced i think it would have been much effective but i still thought message was insightful it made me stop and think about how many times i may have inserted myself into someone elses life without even realising it ↠ 35 stars
