The Wife Upstairs, by Rachel Hawkins, has so many delicious parallels to the old classic, Jane Eyre, but it has its own twists and turns, too. A book full of unlikeable people, which usually means I have a hard time enjoying the book, but in this case, everyone deserves each other and I kept wanting to see what was going to happen next. I couldn't help feeling I'd been here before but really, it was all new and intriguing, wondering what was real and what was for show, when the other shoe was go...
Here is my video review: https://youtu.be/vXPpHYYnCZcThis is the best thriller that I have read since Home Before Dark! I simply could not put this down! Jane is a dogwalker in Thornfield Estates when she meets widow Eddie. As the two of them fall in love, both of their pasts are revealed. Will the past catch up with them? This a refreshing modernized retelling of Jane Eyre. This book had some flaws. Why does Jane hate rich people so much? Not every rich person is a terrible person. Also, Jane s...
Ahhhh.... this book!! I feel so conflicted over what to rate it and how to review it! I kinda wanna give it two stars because the plot holes are SO HUGE that parts of the story seemed ridiculous. (view spoiler)[ Panic rooms DO NOT lock their owners in and prevent them from ever leaving... 🤦♀️ By that reasoning, every time Eddie visited Bea the door must be kept open yet they talk, have sex, shower etc and Jane never hears them??? Nor does Bea even attempt an escape even though she has her capto...
I was gonna give this 2 stars for entertainment value, but then I got to “Reader, I fucked him” and it broke me.
Oh man, y'all. This book has been at the tip top of my most anticipated list from the moment that I heard that it is modern-gothic-mystery retelling of Jane Eyre. I wanted SO BADLY to love it, but ultimately I kinda feel like it was just okay? It wasn't a terrible book, but throughout the entire story I kept finding myself wishing that it would do more, or go a little bit further and it ultimately just never really hit the notes that I was hoping it would hit. I will say, if you do decide to rea...
4.5 starsI want to save my thoughts for the live show at the end of this month but aksjhdkahsdkjhas this book was so fun and I flew through it in less than 24 hours
A quick and easy read if you want a thriller fix. I found much of the story to be very predictable though, and even the new twists the author added were easy to guess, because I was already familiar with the original Jane Eyre story. I wish the book had taken a bigger leap to be more surprising and engrossing.
I heard all of the mention about comparing to this to Jane Eyre which I read so long ago I can’t remember it well. I decided just to read and review this book on it’s own merit with no comparisons.Jane has left behind a secret in Arizona and has now taken the only job that she could find in this town in Alabama. She starts walking dogs for the wealthy inhabitants of Thornfield Estates. Jane doesn’t mind the dogs but hates the inhabitants of these mini-mansions, although she not so secretly wants...
"It is the absolute shittiest day for a walk."Rain has been pouring down all morning. But, there are dogs that need to be walked in the wealthy Thornfield Estates subdivision, and Jane has signed on to be the dogwalker to the wealthy wives who will pretend to care that they are sorry that this must be done on this cold and stormy day in mid February...But as luck will have it, Jane is about to meet Eddie Rochester, recently widowed when his wife, Bea, drowned in a boating accident with her best
I read this book twice once July 2020 (Kindle e-copy) 4 stars and December 2020 (listening to the audiobook) 5 stars. This is a mystery thriller. I was pulled into this book so quickly, and I had to keep reading to find out how it end. I did guess some of the things that was happening in this book, but I did not see the ending happening how it did. I really think the characters where developed, and I hated and loved the characters which is what you want from a thriller. I can see people either l...
