A good book! I did the audiobook on it. It kept me interested, but the last 20% was the best to me. It's a soft pick for me.
First book I have read by McFadden, but it won't be the last.
😊 Happy Reading 🙃

Just getting started on this one. Hoping I won‘t fall asleep before it gets to the suspense. 😴🥱

I really liked the story but I can‘t get past the thought that I have read it before or something eerily similar. It does seem similar to verity in a lot of ways but even more than that. I just can‘t place what it reminds me of. However, that didn‘t take away from me wanting to return to it often and keep reading. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
So torn with this one because I did finish it and pretty quickly but I also found it maddeningly naive. Or should I say a couple of the characters? There was a twist toward the end that I felt was going to explain/justify that impression and then boom another twist and I was left still unsatisfied.
Also, I find it SUCH a stretch to have a (modern day) character who won't swear. To the extent they say "fiddlesticks". it's just not believable.??
I‘ve read similar books, considering it‘s based on Jane Eyre, but I loved Freidas spin on it!
If you have read Verity by Colleen Hoover your going to love this one! Adam is a writer who needs someone to take care of his wife Victoria after her accident and now she is bed bond! Sylvia is hired as her caretaker! Sylvia finds Victoria‘s diary and it‘s her life journal she begins reading it and soon she starts realizing the truth about the people she works for! Loved her writing! 🌟🌟🌟
Currently listening to to The Wife Upstairs and really liking it so far! It definitely giving me Verity by Colleen Hoover vibes!
thought this was very similar to Gone Girl and I assumed I knew how the twist would play out.
It kept me eagerly waiting to find out if my suspicions were correct and they were confirmed, yet then they got blown to smithereens again and then again!!
That‘s how you end a great psychological thriller! Brilliant! Top 5 books of 2021!!
Review is up on my blog!!! Check it out. https://reecaspieces.com/2021/12/13/the-wife-upstairs-by-freida-mcfadden-dreamsc...
Got this one free on my Kindle with Prime. I really liked it! I couldn't put it down. It's definitely got a Verity vibe to it.
When I first started reading it, all I could think of how very similar it was to Verity by Colleen Hoover. While I continued reading it I kept thinking this is exactly like Verity so I knew how it would end. However I did get confused if Victoria was just as bad or was innocent because I couldn‘t stop thinking how it compared so much to Verity so I gave it three stars.
