I never heard anyone talking about this book even though everyone on booktok talked about 'the housemaid' which was a book I read in 2023. This book was really good and I adore Freida's books and writing style. If you love book 1 in this series then I recommend reading this book which is book 2, especially since it shows the growth of the FMC since the end of book 1.
