Read the complete non-spoiler review of the book on my blog. Link : https://bookbugworld.com/review-the-wife-upstairs/
Enjoyable debut novel. Well told and great payoff to close the story out.
I haven't read Jane Eyre, so I completely forgot that this was supposed to be a modern retelling until I finished the book and read the Acknowledgements. I likely would have appreciated the story even more with a better understanding of the context/influence, but as a stand-alone, it was a fun page-turner.
