kieselmccall 's review for:

The Housemaid by Freida McFadden

2.5

dark mysterious tense fast-paced

Plot or Character Driven: Plot

Strong character development: No

Loveable characters: No

Diverse cast of characters: No

Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

First half of the book it was difficult to find a redeeming quality in any of the characters. In the first half, Millie fat shames and fertility shames Nina, Nina is objectively horrible, Cecilia is a brat, and Andy has no personality other than being a Rich White Guy. The only decent person in all of this that I actually wanted to root for was Enzo the gardener. It got better after Part 2, but does not redeem Millie.
