There are two narrators in the story; one is the tenant and one is a landlady. Mrs. Skinner is a landlady who seems really nice but has only one rule: no men can stay over.

The landlady, Mrs. Skinner, I wasn’t sure on at all, or her family. To me, she felt a little odd and a bit false.

The book definitely kept me guessing all the way through, and I was pretty wrong with my thoughts, which is always good; the author can trick you.
