Everyone at my book group was shocked that I've never read anything by Frieda McFadden, so I started on The Housemaid to see what all the fuss is about. I'm 20% in and really bored, it just feels like the story isn't progressing and it's all a bit simplistic. Normally I think life is too short to continue a book I'm not enjoying, but everyone was so insistent she's an incredible author I'm reaching out to a different group of bookworms to ask your opinions on this one.
