About the Book
Inviting her into my home might be the worst mistake I ever made.
Me
It looks like I have it all — a beautiful home, two perfect kids. But my husband is always travelling for work and I’m struggling to do it all alone.
Meeting her is a godsend. I’m late to pick up the kids and I almost knock her over. Instead of getting angry, she hands me her business card and says she’s looking for work. She’s experienced, dedicated, has excellent references. She’s everything I need.
Her
I’ll be right at home in her life. After all, I’ve been waiting for this chance.
She’s exactly like the rest of them: beautiful, uptight, controlling. Trusting. That’s the problem with people like her — they can’t imagine anyone hating them. They’re naïve. They bring people like me into their homes, let us look after their children and pay us next to nothing for the privilege.
But she owes me more than a salary. She might not know it, but she owes me everything . . .
My Review
The ending of this book literally blew my mind away. I finished reading it and I wanted to do nothing more than tell everyone I know who reads books that they have to read this book, and then I wanted to tell my book clubs that we have to read this book and discuss it. This book .. ugh… I’m at a loss for words with that ending. I just didn’t see it from a mile away.
Leigh did a great job writing Gen. I didn’t like her at all and I thought Adeline was really a life saver. Gen was really a spoiled housewife. I have two children, and I know how hard it is sometimes, but also, sipping a drink and watching Gilmore Girls while someone else is taking care of your children?!
There is a mental health aspect to this book that I wish was explored just a little bit more, but even so, that doesn’t take away from the book at all. The book is well written, with an easy flow. I legit read this in one day. I started it in the morning and finished it before I went to bed – and that’s with interruptions from my family and responsibilities!
This is a MUST READ thriller – so do yourself a favor and get your hands on this book, read it, and then let’s discuss!
