I saw another reviewer describe this as a modern take on Jane Eyre. On One  hand, that’s completely unfair to Mr Rochester. But on the other, that’s exactly the vibe of the first two-thirds or so of this book. 

I also found it very reminiscent of The Secrets of Mill House Anne Wyn Clark. Different enough to be its own story but similar enough to make me suggest not reading them too close together or the plots will merge.
