Dark times at Columbia Mansions

I have so many complicated thoughts about Gwen. The way this story goes, written by Gwen about the happenings at Columbia Mansions of which there are many and some of them quite dark. And while I think she has a big heart, a bit nosy, she does care for people in need without hesitation, even when giving money or space leaves her without much. Though her son irked me to no end, bumming off her and not doing anything to help, just taking up space in her apartment. Things get crazy pretty quick with the arrival of Pixie and her rental "arrangement" with Alec for a room in his flat. But who is telling the truth and who is lying? No one is innocent and this is where I feel for Gwen with all the complications as she tries to help and stand up for the ones who deserve it, despite the consequences (she tends to mostly see the best in people, even when they are not deserving of that kindness). Yes, it does deal with pretty dark topics but the thing to remember is that no one is completely innocent and some people can lie to get what they want, whether it is money, attention, or something else. I can honestly say, after all the mess goes down, I do not blame Gwen at all for what she ends up doing. This was an interesting book with lots of twists, dark times, and it definitely did not turn out like I was expecting. But overall it was good and I enjoyed the journey of Gwen in her memorable times at Columbia Mansions.
