Model Home by Rivers Solomon

Model Home by Rivers Solomon is a dark, queer, gothic thriller about a trio of siblings who return to their (seemingly haunted) suburban Texas childhood home after the suspicious deaths of their parents. The Maxwell kids grew up as the only Black family in a wealthy gated community, so expect more than supernatural traumas to surface for the novel’s likable, morally complex, intersex protagonist. It’s an emotionally raw novel about the ghosts that follow us from our upbringings—ones we often co-create, even if we don’t do so intentionally. 3/5 Stars. Follow me on Fable.
