Other People’s Things – Kerry Anne King

Rating: 3 out of 5.

I received an advance review copy for free thanks to NetGalley and Lake Union Publishing and I am leaving this review voluntarily

Jailbird. Klepto. Spectacular failure to launch. Nicole Wood’s sticky fingers have earned her many names, but it’s not that she’s stealing—some objects just need to be moved elsewhere, and the universe has chosen her to do it. Still, being a relocator of objects isn’t easy. With her marriage on the rocks, no real-world skills, and the threat of prison hanging over her head, Nicole is determined to change her ways.

Things seem to be looking up, thanks to a godsent job with her sister’s housecleaning business—until she encounters a seemingly harmless paperback that insists on moving from one client’s home to another’s. Nicole hopes no one will notice, but the action stirs up long-hidden secrets and triggers a series of fateful events that threatens to destroy the life she’s creating and hurt those closest to her. She’ll need to embrace her unwieldy gift and take a chance on love in order to unravel the mystery and fix what’s gone wrong. 

This book has been on my want to read list for a very long time and I really wanted to enjoy this book. The premise seemed very interesting but unfortunately I just don’t think I clicked with the book. The book is written in a nice way and it is nice and easy to follow, but I thought that it was just lacking depth.

I thought that the second half of the book was slightly better than the first, which slightly redeemed the book for me, however I thought that the ending was just a little too rushed for me.

Rating 3/5
