The first half of the book was very meh. I really didn't get the hype. It's about Millie an ex con looking for a job. She gets a housekeeping job, live in; she needs to cook and also look after the child. Nina, the woman who hires her turns out to be a horrible, unreasonable with her requests, flies off the handle. Millie is attracted to Nina's husband, which doesn't help the dynamics. Millie find out that Nina was in a mental institution because she tried to drown her daughter.
Second part of the book we get to see everything from Nina's point of view and here things start getting interesting and there are a couple of big plot twists.
The story line with the twists are good, but, I don't think that it is written particularly well. Not sure whether I will attempt the second book. The hype was a bit much for this one.
Initially I thought it's 5/5, but the more I think about it, it's a 3/5 for me.
