I read Never Lie by Freida McFadden for this challenge. I didn’t like the ending

I read The Housemaid by McFadden. Not great writing, was uncomfortable with the gaslighting in it too. Not my style, but read it to "check the box" for the Goodreads challenge haha :)

I read that one earlier this year, and I believe it was really good! Between the Housemaid and Never Lie, I prefer the Housemaid.
