This book is a wonderful and surprising read. It is well worth the hype.
Loved the voice of Molly, the neuro diverse maid.
The story is a slow burn but I kept turning pages because of her voice.
Two unexpected twists at the end!
it was a solid 4 star book until the epilogue. What a weird and trash plot twist just thrown in last minute.
writing, plot, characters and story telling is so amazing that i can't lower it past a 3 star
Conflicted on this one – it was a fast read, and I thought there were parts that were quite satisfying, but I felt like I wanted more layers before we started to figure things out.
