The Wife Upstairs (Rachel Hawkins)



The Wife Upstairs
Rachel Hawkins
⭐: 5/5

Pros: though I'm not out with the same end goals as MC, Jane, is, I still found myself in her coming from nothing to something. That was rather nice to read about.

I won't give away spoilers, but I absolutely was surprised about the shift of things and how I thought this was going to be another Behind Closed Doors (B.A Paris) or The Housemaid (Freida McFadden). It most definitely wasn't and I'm pretty sure I need to add this to my personal library! I only buy books I've read and loved, so that's saying a lot.

Cons: sometimes I found the scene transitions a little confusing, as in one place, MC was somewhere and in the next paragraph, she was somewhere else. This doesn't happen often, but the times it did, I found myself rereading to see if I missed something.

Conclusion: I'd say to give this work a shot. It's got a fairly original spin and if you liked the titles I aforementioned, I'd venture to guess you'll like this one, as well. If you've read My Lovely Wife (Samantha Downing), that's even more a higher chance you'll enjoy this!
