I'm really glad this story lets the women stay united and vigilant. I'm so tired of reading stories where women are forced to go against each other and be dumb stereotypes for the sake of petty drama. I was worried when I first started reading, seeing the main wife, the caretaker, and the secretary that these women would be treated as typical "obstacles" that the MC had to go against. Thankfully, although they were introduced as "threats" and reasonably so, the author handled their characters so refreshingly nice. All the women in this story were not only quick to understand that that scum was NOT worth it and that their lives were in danger but were all working together (aside from the secretary, I'm just glad she escaped, although she wasn't a great person, she's not comparable to literal murderers.) Tired of these stories punishing women who aren't the main characters for the pettiest of things and enforcing women to constantly go against each other, I like how even if they didn't all trust/like each other at one point (and for pretty reasonable things too like MC having trust issues, her friend being pushed away, the wife being lied to, etc..) they still ended up all supporting one another and being worried for each other in the end. I love sisterhood when we can put aside our differences when faced with a common problem, it really reminded me of season 2 of Sx Education on Netflix where the girls in the show who were usually divided, could relate and even come together despite their differences to support their classmate who had gone through something traumatic. More stories need to stop forcing female antagonists and instead enpower healthy female dynamics.
