The housemaid vibe for sure lol
Ahhhh I don’t know how I feel about this book!! 😅😅 I figured one of the twist (pretty obvious) but then when everything started unfolding it gave me “the housemaid” vibe when she orchestrated the husband and the maid to get together and she be free & than also trying to save her afterwards 🤦🏽‍♀
