I liked the premise of Other People's Houses. We truly do not know what happens behind someone else's closed door. That premise could have led to deeper questions about the strength of a marriage and the building and destroying of trust in a relationship. Unfortunately, for me, it does not. The off putting opening scene, the gratuitous cursing, and the large cast of characters and issues incorporated make this not the book for me.

Reviewed for the Penguin First to Read program.

I know many people will hate me for this (please don't kill me), but I absolutely hatedthis book. You may notice I don't hand one-stars easily; in fact, I hate giving books that rating. There are barely any books I disliked enough to do this to them. This is one of them. 

The summary for this book was so promising, I was sure I'd like this book. 
But it all went downhill from about the moment I read the characters' names. I know it sounds silly, but names like Pagan, Leif and Dank kind of put me off. I could've ignored it, had the rest of the story been good. 

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I feel like good characters make good stories. Not always, of course, but often enough.

Pagan, was not a good character in my book. I truly and honestly couldn't figure out what either guy saw in her. Not to mention I found her soul far from "beautiful".
She was okay at first, but from there she turned to horrible very quickly.
Prepare yourself for a rant.
First - Pagan uses Leif. She claims to have fallen madly in-love with Dank, yet kisses and messes with Leif just cause he's "real". I hated this about her. Not to mention it made her a stinking cheater. 
Then, there was her...
