The Perfect Nanny by Leïla Slimani

5.0

Holy crap, this book was good. By which I mean it was quietly creepy, building gradually but surely to a shocking climax through a realistic progression. Each of the characters — even Mila and Adam, who are more plot tools than individuals — has a distinct and memorable personality, set of motives, and way of seeing the world. I’m left with just as many questions as answers, frustrated in the most delightful way.
Spoiler(I would’ve loved just a little more resolution than we got, but the ambiguity works well on a literary level.)
