Review of The Housemaid by Freida McFadden
I decided to read The Housemaid after seeing all the hype around it. At first, it was very hard for me to get into. I felt like Millie’s perspective/ internal monologue got very old very quickly and I found it hard to root for her. However, once the book switches to Nina’s perspective, I could not

The image displays the front cover of the thriller novel "The Wife Between Us" by Greer Hendricks & Sarah Pekkanen. The dark cover features the title in yellow text, a subtle image of a woman, and quotes comparing it to "Gone Girl" and "The Girl on the Train."
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 🤦🏽‍♀
