A good drama-like story

This book had an interesting plot. It looked into the life of a hoarder and the life of her kids. The story focuses on the daughter and how she deals with her hoarding mother. The story seemed real, with real emotions in the book. This was not my favorite genre and seemed a bit slow for me. Overall, the performance was great and the characters were real and emotions were engaging.

Awesome

Danielle wishes it was true about never going home, but that’s not what is happening in her life. She has to go back home and get her mother to leave. Loved everything about it.
