I just finished the Housemaid in one evening – what a book!! (spoilers obviously)

My friend wanted to go to the cinema to watch the Housemaid on tuesday but it’s been on my booklist for a long time and I generally don’t like watching a movie and then reading the book, I like doing it the other way around. I had borrowed it from the library earlier today and tonight I was bored and decided to read it.

I am generally a fan of mystery books with twists. It keeps me guessing. I have to say, I did not expect the full twist at all, but it was until Nina left Andrew that I realized that Nina wasn’t the full problem because I had about half of the book left. A few pages later Enzo warned Millie vaguely that Nina wasn’t the problem and that’s how I was sure something was up with him. But what? I had never expected.

I really loved how easy the book was to read through. I think the fastest I had read a book before tonight was the Hunger Games Sunrise on the Reaping in 2 days. But the Housemaid just kept me interested like I just HAD to find out what was going on like why was Nina so weird to Millie? I was also super confused why Andrew stayed with Nina, but ofcourse through the eyes of Millie. Initially when the box of Evelyn Winchester came I thought Nina had a twin sister or something and that that was the twist. I still don’t really understand why Cecelia was such an ass to Millie, did Nina ask her to be? Did Evelyn seriously had no idea at all what he was doing to Nina?

My favorite character was probably Millie herself. I understood most of her emotions throughout her abuse there. I hated Nina a lot in the beginning, like what is your problem with this lady? It wasn’t until Millie got locked up and the next part started from Nina’s POV that I started feeling more empathy for her.

I’m glad Andy got what he deserved in the end. What a psychopath. If anyone has similar suggestions to this book let me know!
