About this deal
Her writing is so seamless that this novel was a genuine page-turner, especially when you get to the second half towards a crazy ending I never saw coming. even though they’ve only been dating for six months and Millie stands him up constantly and doesn’t seem to even remotely like him as anything other than an abstract concept.
I was kept turning the pages, and not seeing all the different twists coming (like I did in the previous book). after reading my first freida book…I leaned very quickly that i should not romanticize any mmc in her books… i definitely do it anyways.I can't help but keep my hopes high for the next installment, perhaps one where we follow Millie the social worker, assisting individuals caught in tumultuous relationships and dealing with dangerous spouses who mistreat their significant others. Then we jump ahead a few months, and Enzo is muscularly moving into Millie’s SOUTH BRONX apartment, and then Broccoli shows up to to pick up a box of his shit, and I guess it’s another twist that Millie gave Broccoli’s heart pills to Marybeth and that’s what killed Wendy. However, when her latest gig ends abruptly, Millie secures a last minute job looking after wealthy and influential business magnate, Douglas Garrick’s penthouse.
perhaps i should consider therapy, but hey, who can resist a little bit of mystery and excitement in their life?
I was turned down for the ARC by NetGalley and was so excited to get my hands on this highly anticipated book.
Douglas Garrick, a wealthy and influential business magnate, hires her to maintain his sprawling duplex penthouse, which he shares with his wife.I have no doubt that McFadden will probably stay close to her tried and tested formula and I’m not sure how much more she can up the craziness until it becomes entirely inconceivable, but I’m craving a little bit more than the saving housewives plot that we’ve seen in the last two novels.
