Misbehaving children (annoying), a grown adult woman not knowing how to operate a smart home app and being terrified of it, while not sharing her concerns with another adult (childish). That's the mixture that basically this book is based on.

Long, unnecessary descriptions of the house and all of the characters, from Rowan to the children act completely irrationally. It was tiring and ultimately not worth my time.

I kept reading in hopes that eventually it would all come together and make sense, but it really didn't. It was slow and there wasn't really any action. It could surely be ~50 pages shorter.
