The Maid

DID NOT FINISH: 11%

Exceptionally slow. Convinced the author googled "signs of autism." and gave Molly the first 4 traits she read about. I'm not into quirky writing styles, either.

Suffocating and claustrophobic. This book gave me mild anxiety. Like reading a Black Mirror episode.

I think Hein was replaced in the end with a new model, but that's just me <\spoiler>

This book makes me cry every time. Really makes you think.

Chapters were too lengthy. A lot of description which leads to a bunch of nothing. Really interesting premise but it takes exceptionally long to get there because of the slice-of-life elements that really overpower the rest of this novel.
