Over two million copies sold! Soon to be a major motion picture starring Sydney Sweeney and Amanda Seyfried--trailer out now!

Ok so I said in my other reviews of The Housemaid Series that they were all good the whole Series but to be honest this one is the best because it was the beginning to everything.

Started off a little corny and then I couldn't put It down! I've heard mixed reviews about the other books in the series, but I still may have to see for myself.

I had a bit of a challenge figuring the characters in the story. However, when I finally did, my first words were “No, Way! The ending is Chef’s kiss.
