Summary
Five months after Mel told her husband to leave， a ghost moved in upstairs。
A young man who reminds her， with eerie intensity， of a past lover， someone who changed Mel's life and then vanished。
When the man's travelling girlfriend joins him， Mel's obsession with the couple upstairs builds and the boundaries between the two homes begin to blur， with devastating consequences。
The Couple Upstairs is about one strange summer of dazzling， curdling infatuation。 Writing with both a light touch and vivid intensity， Holly Wainwright explores love， regret， whether you can stop history repeating， and whether or not you should。

This book was quite an interesting read as it left things out in certain parts and I had to continue to get the full story。 In saying that， it often left me confused because parts of the story was missing。I couldn’t wholly love the characters either。 Whilst their flaws were purposeful for the novel， I did find myself not engaging with them。The writing style just wasn’t for me either。 But I genuinely think it’s because this style of writing just doesn’t work for me。This is a fast-paced novel that This book was quite an interesting read as it left things out in certain parts and I had to continue to get the full story。 In saying that， it often left me confused because parts of the story was missing。I couldn’t wholly love the characters either。 Whilst their flaws were purposeful for the novel， I did find myself not engaging with them。The writing style just wasn’t for me either。 But I genuinely think it’s because this style of writing just doesn’t work for me。This is a fast-paced novel that I liked reading。⭐️⭐️⭐️。5/5 。。。more

An atmospheric domestic thriller that's not too heavy on the thriller。 There are plenty of questions and intrigue， but nothing too scary or nerve-wracking。 I enjoyed spending time in this world！ Thanks to the publisher for sending me a review copy。 An atmospheric domestic thriller that's not too heavy on the thriller。 There are plenty of questions and intrigue， but nothing too scary or nerve-wracking。 I enjoyed spending time in this world！ Thanks to the publisher for sending me a review copy。 。。。more
