From acclaimed poet and author Melissa Lozada-Oliva comes an evocative coming-of-age story of infatuation, belonging, and trust built and broken.

We meet our narrator hanging around the nail salon where her mother works, eavesdropping on her conversation with one of the regulars, Helen. But she’s really hoping to see Helen’s daughter, Patty - older, rebellious, and completely captivating. When Helen invites her over to their house to help organize a home office, she jumps at the opportunity. But as the day goes on, she encounters something she shouldn’t and gets caught up in the sinister nature of other people’s property and private lives.

Pool House is a haunting story about losing one’s sense of self and what happens when you look too far without noticing you’re being looked upon.

Poor story! Poor narrator. Poor everything about it. Couldn't even tell you what it was supposed to be about. Can't even lie in my rating. One I won't be listening to again !

Absolute load of trash. Didn't get half way thru

Maybe it's just me but didn't really understand what was happening in this story, it just ended abruptly and left me baffled at the end, sorry!

I'm left extremely confused as to what this book is all about. The end I can't decide if there was stuff in the AC or what. Or does the MC have a disability? It is well-written and read.

Weird for me.

There is a massive gap between people who enjoy surrealist horror and the people who listen to Audible Originals. I should be surprised but I'm not.

I can understand not fully grasping everything that is being done here but failing to acknowledge aspects of genre and style that are very evident throughout is a failure on you, the reader, not the writer unfortunately.

But enough slandering the reviews on here.

I liked the way the story used envy and aspiration as the protagonist's downfall and how Helen and Patti's house, despite being their home, is a site of decay, completely alienating, symbolic of the inability to truly admire someone without experiencing some kind of disappointment when you realise how underwhelming and unpleasantly human they are. This is all compounded by the rejection she is experiencing from someone richer and whiter than she is, depicted through various kinds of body horror, death and psychosis.

A much better story than people on here would have you believe.

A Better Story Than Reviews Would Have You Believe

Short stories are often strange little windows into a moment in someone's life with some twist or twang that makes them worth your time. For me, this absolutely delivers that. The characters are realised well and the narrator's voice feels interesting and authentic. The bizarre elements are just that, bizarre and discombobulating, but where others seem to have been put off and left confused about the confusion, to me it encapsulates the reality/ unreality dichotomy of the existence of the main character and the unsettling fauxness of suburban life.
