I had a pile of books that needed reading before they were due back to the library and I plowed through them. Other People’s Houses by Abbi Waxman was one of these. I had enjoyed her Garden of Small Beginnings (reviewed here). Other People’s Houses was OK – it’s the story of a neighborhood and the families and children therein, but mostly the story of the relationships (mostly flawed) between the adults. It felt much like Big Little Lies. One bothersome things about this story was that for the longest time, I couldn’t figure out where it took place. Turns out it was LA, but the author referenced a few things that sounded British, like the High Street, which was bothersome to me. Overall, this one was fine, but nothing to write home about.
