The Housemaid

It's been a long time since I got so caught up in a book I finished it in two days. I didn't expect to get so invested. I had looked at it before and passed it over because the premise didn't seem that great to me and I only read it because of a book club. But this book really got ahold of me. I feel like I can't give a book so compelling that I can't stop reading any less than 4 stars. Especially when the payoff at the end is actually good. So often a compelling book is ruined by a subpar ending, but I feel like this book was equally strong all the way to the last page. I was tempted to give 5 stars, but, even though this was a great read, I don't feel like it was the most original story or a book that really sits above the rest equally to my other 5 star reads.

4.5/5 stars
