A House With Good Bones

I honestly enjoyed the overall story and gothic elements, and even enjoyed the bug descriptions, but the primary thing dragging my rating down is that the main character was driving me insane with her state of denial and never-ending “logical” explanations for things. Even after she sees that her grandmother has risen from the dead with a body made of rose branches and petals, she is still trying to say that the house fell into the ground because of a natural sinkhole...like, please just live in reality! I honestly would have been fine with this being her perspective if she got with the program earlier, but those comments/thoughts were still occurring at 85% and it was very frustrating.
