The Wife Upstairs: A twisted psychological thriller that will keep you guessing

This was a very fun, twisty read. It was hard to pause the audiobook! Although the FMC made some pretty bad decisions and I was shouting at her multiple times while reading, I still found this incredibly captivating and thoroughly enjoyed the ending.

Verity, is that you? Wait—no, sorry. Same premise, different book. The Wife Upstairs felt like a reimagined version of Verity by Colleen Hoover. The similarities were hard to ignore—so much so that I did a quick Google search, and yep, Verity came first. So it’s safe to say this one gives off major copycat vibes. That said, comparison aside, the book still had plenty of suspense and some unique twists that kept me turning pages. It’s one of those thrillers where you think you know what’s going on… but then something small shifts, and suddenly, you're questioning everything again. If you’re going to enjoy this book, you have to separate it from Verity. Don’t go in expecting the same level of intensity or character complexity—just take it for what it is: a quick, twisty domestic thriller that delivers solid entertainment and a few satisfying “what the heck?!” moments. I gave this one 3 stars because while it kept me intrigued and entertained, it didn’t quite hit the mark for originality. The pacing was solid, and there were a few moments that genuinely surprised me—but the overall plot felt very familiar (Verity fans, you’ll know what I mean). Still, it's a quick read with a fun, twisted vibe. If you’re not looking for something groundbreaking and just want something bingeable with a bit of creep factor, it delivers.

I really enjoyed this thrilling retelling of Jane Eyre. I did feel a tad let down by the ending (I wanted bigger or more shocking) but overall it was a great thriller and kept me on my toes! I would recommend it to anyone looking for their next thriller.

A twisty tale of who abused who more Mr. Perfect- gorgeous, even tempered, famous writer, husband who according to her, verbally abused and alienated her and now paralyzed Mrs. Perfect- gorgeous, head over heels, er nurse, wife who according to him, verbally abused and cheated on him And how Mrs. Perfect’s caretaker and friend, Sylvie hired by Mr. Perfect, found out. 3 ⭐️⭐️⭐️’s because I still don’t know the actual truth.

Another twisted Freida story. Twisted.
