The Housemaid by Freida McFadden

2.75

dark funny mysterious tense fast-paced

Plot or Character Driven: Plot

Strong character development: Yes

Loveable characters: No

Diverse cast of characters: No

Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

I think this book could have been really, really good. I did not think the characters and their interactions were fleshed out very well, and I honestly did not like the main character (Millie) much - especially in part one of the book. Sometimes the writing felt repetitive or clunky.

I really enjoyed Nina’s character, though.

I thought she was the most complex and interesting character in the book.

I also did not expect the direction the plot went with, and still enjoyed this book despite the flaws I felt with the writing and characters.

It wasn’t the most groundbreaking story I’ve ever read, and I’ve read better books. But I did have a lot of fun reading this book despite that & it’s a quick and easy read
