The Wife Upstairs by Freida McFadden Book Review

Book Synopsis: Victoria Barnett has it all.

A great career. A handsome and loving husband. A beautiful home in the suburbs and a plan to fill it with children. Life is perfect—or so it seems.
Then she’s in a terrible accident… and everything falls apart.

Now Victoria is unable to walk. She can’t feed or dress herself. She can’t even speak. She is confined to the top floor of her house with twenty-four-hour care.
Sylvia Robinson is hired by Victoria’s husband to help care for her. But it turns out Victoria isn’t as impaired as Sylvia was led to believe. There’s a story Victoria desperately wants to tell… if only she could get out the words.

Then Sylvia discovers Victoria’s diary hidden away in a drawer.

And what’s inside is shocking.

💭 Review: “I’ve always talked myself out of writing a book because I was afraid I would subconsciously write a book that had similar plots, twists, etc to another book and I’d get sued and go to jail…but apparently you can do this and nobody bats an eye 😅

This book was basically Verity reincarnated. Sure, a few details were different but I definitely felt like I was just reading Verity but a little different!

Overall, it’s a quick thrill and a quick read so I can’t complain too much. It’s just interesting how similar this book is to Verity!”
