Ebook short description
Katrina Reece Warren, also known as Kitty, was embarking on the perfect life with Malcolm, her handsome, successful husband in their exquisite Victorian dream home when tragedy strikes. As her devastating loss causes Kitty to hoard, shutting out loved ones with a mountain of stuff, it falls to Misty, her bad girl cousin to save her. But can she do so without getting herself killed in the process?Extended description
Although Kitty and Misty were raised as sisters, they couldn't be more different. Kitty, an over-achiever, plays by the rules, following the traditional path on her journey to the American dream, while Misty, an unapologetic tramp breaks every rule she can. Kitty basks in the glory of one success after another while Misty sulks in background until tragedy turns the tables in a surprising way. Clutter takes a satirical look at America's obsession with materialism and class consciousness as it follows one woman's journey into hoarding and the tragic consequences that result from her inability to cope with loss.Adult-content rating:

WHAT I THOUGHT
I wish there had been more character development is what I thought.
Clutter is under 50 pages, easily read on your lunch break, perhaps two if they’re short breaks. I like shorter stories but I felt like this one was a little too short for the story being told. Some bad things happen to the characters but I can’t say I felt terribly bad for them. I felt bad about what happened but I wasn’t really invested in the characters. Perhaps some deeper character development may have changed that - I don’t know.
All in all I liked the premise for the story and no doubt some of the things described would most definitely be occurring right now in real life. I couldn’t even imagine how I would react if I had been in the same shoes. I can’t go into much more detail than what I have already because it will give away crucial clues. It was an okay read but I think it could have been better had certain aspects been expanded.
Thank you to Donna Butler for providing me with a copy of Clutter – thanks, Donna!

Enjoyable read; as each character is developed a suprising story arises which takes the reader on a remarkable journey of discovery on the one hand and heart felt on the other.

A smart, sexy, provocative look at today's American dream.
If you liked the Kevin Spacey movie, American Beauty, you'll like this.
