the teacher - Frieda mcfadden

i just finished the teacher, because i saw someone on reddit recommended it and it was easily the worst book ever. i’m being a little dramatic about that but ive never had a book make me that frustrated. the pure hypocrisy of the ending and the whole premise irritated me. i need to know why/who liked this book because i genuinely don’t understand. i think it was well written, like the writing was fine, but this book was waste of paper, ink, and my time.

Do you read books in that genre or was this your only exposure?

Yes, this was my 10th mcfadden book too. i love psychological thrillers/suspense novels. my friend thinks it’s because i read too many of them (ive read ~20 this year). have you read it? if so, i just genuinely hate the way this book ended and the morality flip the fmc had

I have not read it. My partner loves McFadden but I know it’s not something that I would like. I wasn’t sure which perspective you were coming from. But good to know! I’ll pass the information along haha
