“. . . no woman wants to be compared unfavorably to another. he’s an idiot if he doesn’t know that. then again, plenty of men are idiots.”
what a great way to start september! the story follows millie, a young woman with a criminal past, who gets employed as a housekeeper by a rich woman, nina winchester, one with a seeming mental health condition. and as the story goes, millie soon finds out that the rich family she’s working for have secrets of their own.
first of all, i got so interested with reading this book because i’ve seen a lot of videos on tiktok where some readers say that it was really an amazing thriller. this is one of my favorite reads this year. the plot is great and freida mcfadden’s writing style was perfect. all the characters in this book are all insane and weird. i actually don’t know what to feel when i was reading this—i was scared, confused, and excited on what’s going to happen in the next chapters. to be honest, the whole story was exhausting to read because it is full of twists and turns, but it is the type of exhaustion that i will always enjoy.
lastly, the plot twists in this book are amazing, unpredictable, and insane! overall, this book is a beautiful collection of mystery, thriller, and unexpected twists. if you want to get into thriller, you should definitely put this on top of your list.
