*screams and punches pillow*

I am not a hateful reviewer, but honestly absolutely fuck this book and perhaps even fuck this author too. I was planning to read The Housemaid, but after learning it's a rip off of another book, plus now this abomination, it's a no from me.

This is one of the most frustrating books I have ever had the displeasure to read. After the 40% mark, I was hate reading it purely because it was a buddy read.

The MC has ZERO redeeming qualities and NO personality aside from being a complete dumbass trainwreck. The writing is just so incredibly bad. The same information is being presented over and over and over like it's something brand new. It seems like the MC has a maximum of five things she is able to think about. She is so spineless, so naive, her choices make no sense. It's a miracle she has even managed to live to late 20s and raise a human being. I'm not exaggerating when I say that I had to put the book down during EVERY CHAPTER because she was being stupid and I needed to rant to a friend. And the chapters are SHORT (3-7 pages). She flip-flops between sides more than a fish on dry land. She has zero regard for her son's wellbeing. I could go on and on.

Even though you can guess some parts of what happened, the author loves a good red herring and I don't appreciate that. The ending was idiotic, which was at least on brand, I guess.
