House of Wonder
Author: Sarah Healy

A set of twins that were born on the same day, but from that day forward have led very different lives. Jenna is a single mom trying to raise her daughter while also building her own business with her best friend. Her twin Warren has never left their mother or the safety of their family home and could maybe be on the autism spectrum. Jenna returns to her family home a few times and realizes that the neighborhood has changed and her family may not be so welcome with all of their quirks!

I love reading about twins, both when they are so similar and in this case when they are so different. They still had their ways of communicating with each other that no one else would understand and I love how Jenna sees Warren as a brother and doesn't see any disabilities that he may have. I absolutely enjoyed the ups and downs of the neighborhood, being a new home owner it was fun to hear about how neighborhoods must change as generations move in and out.
