The Housemaid by Freida McFadden
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
LOVED IT! No notes!
I downloaded this book because I wanted something to match the level of intrigue I had while reading The Intruder. I also partially wanted to prove my belief that this book was incredibly over-hyped. BookTok has let me down ALOT so I was convinced that this book was not for me.
Nope, this book got me HOOKED! The Housemaid follows Millie, a young maid who is desperate for a job.
She gets a live-in position at the Winchesters, a wealthy but odd family. The daughter is a brat. The mother randomly messes up the house to disastrous levels. Millie’s only support is from Enzo, the gardener who speaks very little English but keeps warning her to leave and Andrew Winchester, handsome and charming and always there to reassure Millie.
As Nina Winchester’s behaviour worsens, Andrew keeps stepping in to defend Millie. And it isn’t long before Millie starts to catch feelings for him.
Millie and Andrew’s relationship was SUCH a cliche. But I had barely adjusted to their feelings when this book threw me for a loop. And another. And another.
All I can say is don’t wait for the movie. Pick up a copy of this book ASAP!
