Again, I am stunned. ‘Yellow Wife’ made me a fan but ‘The House of Eve’ has made me a Stan 😩. This story was beautiful, but heartbreaking. I felt for Eleanor but Ruby, I wanted to embrace her in a way her mother couldn’t.
This has been my best read so far this year. Can’t wait for what Mrs.Johnson has in store for us next…

I didn’t read the blurb so I really had no clue what to expect which I think helped in the intrigue of the story.
I loved that we saw background on the characters as this helped them to feel whole. I was able to truly empathize and understand their decisions (even if I didn’t agree with them).
I would 100% recommend that you read the authors note cause when you do you’re going to want to cry for all the women this novel was inspired by.
This book could be highly triggering for some though, so check those out.
