This novel gave off "Rosemary's Baby" vibes, and I was not surprised to see that the author had this novel in mind when writing her book (among other things). It was a fun book where NYC and their buildings are major characters. Rosie is an up-and-coming best-selling author, and her husband, Chad, is an off-Broadway actor. They are pleasantly surprised to learn they have inherited an upscale NYC apartment, but this inheritance comes at a cost to Rosie.
