This is the first Frida book where I can honestly say that I knew what the twist was before it was coming. Oddly enough, this is the third predictable book that I’ve read in a row so maybe it’s just me? Call Ann enjoyable read that I finished less than a day.
As a zebra, I loved all of this. Great research, memoir and tie into future research and initiatives. This is the best way for change to occur. Thank you for this book!
The Other Mrs.: A Thrilling Suspense Novel from the NYT bestselling author of Local Woman Missing by Mary Kubica
The twist was predictable to me so I’m giving it a 3 because it was pretty good overall. Had the spooky creep factor for a fall read
Loved reading a book about life in theatre. I don’t think I’ve read one like that before, but it was very fun. I liked the exploration of the relationships. I got a little lost with all the characters, but enjoyed it nonetheless. The best part was Meryl Streep’s storytelling. So beautifully expressed. Great read
Not much of a plot, just tension and flat character development. Not my favorite
I loved everything about this book! The characters are awesome. I love their little family and their journey trying to give their kids what they never had. Great twists as always. You did it, Freida. We need more Housmaids
Probably one of the most truly artistic books I’ve read. From the cover art, to the weaving of the theme among various storylines intertwined in a primary plot, and to the way the words are placed onto a blank page, it was artistic and authentic
Because I only read books based on whether I think they’re going to be good and pay no attention to the plot, I didn’t realize this book was about trans rights/experience. I appreciated the plot and thought it was written incitefully.
Only Freida can get away with this lol… entire book was hilarious. Loved the Easter eggs. The snowflake necklace x2 by accident. So funny. The dress. Nickelback. Pregnancy test. I will say the twist was a bit predictable, but still so funny
I fucking loved it! Got disturbing toward the end tho. What a great author with an important story
This is the Bible for medical gaslighters. Do not recommend. This needs to come out of curriculums as it contains dangerous concepts with little to no evidence-based research backing it up. It is regarded as scripture and should not be.
I keep thinking about this book and I read it 8 years ago. I continue seeing it in healthcare offices and it infuriates me. I read this book during a time I had chronic pain and other issues. I was diagnosed years later with a painful and pervasive condition that I had been living with my whole life. I let healthcare people tell me shit was in my head for a decade partly because of this book and its concepts. At one point, I even convinced myself it was in my head. Then, I got an accurate medical diagnosis explaining literally all of my medical problems. I subsequently developed cPTSD from people saying shits in my head my whole life. I continue to struggle with this mind fuckery because people would rather read and listen to books like this than learn about rare diseases. It’s much easier to diagnose someone with mental illness.
Until this happened, I thought the book was ok. Now I just hate it, but what I hate more is that people are educating to this book. Let’s teach people about rare diseases instead and leave this one on the shelf thank you
