The Wife Upstairs by Rachel Hawkins
dark
mysterious
fast-paced
4.5
The pacing was great with many twists! It’s a great retelling of Jane Eyre, I haven’t read the whole novel (although I am this month), but I know the gist of the story and still recognized similarities! However it’s not completely the same which made it better in my opinion.
I really enjoyed the switching POVs! This was a quick, easy read. I wasn’t completely satisfied with the ending and felt there were a couple of plot holes but overall an entertaining domestic/gothic thriller!
Graphic: Confinement, Murder, Alcoholism, and Death
Moderate: Infidelity, Child abuse, and Toxic friendship
Minor: Fire/Fire injury and Child death
