A review by ashleythebookwhore
The Housemaid Is Watching by Freida McFadden

slow-paced

• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? No

1.0

This. Was. Terrible. Did she use ChatGPT to write this?! Every chapter ends with the line “I can’t shake the feeling…” or “I wonder if I’ve made a terrible mistake” except NOTHING IS FUCKING HAPPENING. It does not even get mildly interesting until the last, like, 50 pages or so. I was bored out of my mind. Don’t waste your time like I did and go do something else - doing literally anything else is better than reading this book.
