Being in the education field I can say at first this was a little tough to read. About halfway in I was hooked. This book has the typical twists which you can't guess and that's what I love about Freida. I really tried and I was close but did not guess correctly. Overall, I thought this was an easy read so well done Freida!

Good book. Some of Freida McFaddens
other books were more of a thriller. More twists and turns. This book had some. I am so glad I got to read this book before it was released. I love Freida's writing. Great author. Most of the employees at my book store love her books and we do hand sell them. Some customers love her to so no need to. On Tuesday Feb 6th, 2024. There will be several customers coming in to buy this book, when it's first released. Can't wait for her next book!!!

I am so happy I received The Teacher as an ARC from @netgalley First, I am a huge Freida McFadden fan! Her books are quick, easy reads that always have twists you were not expecting! I can usually figure stuff out in most books, but not with Freida!
I felt this book started out a little slow, but then it had my head spinning from all the twists I wasn’t expecting at all! I truly love a book that can surprise me and The Teacher did just that! Excellent read! I’ve already ordered the book so I can have a physical copy to read again!

By far her best book yet! I couldn’t stop turning page after page. I was captured at the very beginning! The queen did it again.

What a great read! Full of twists! Great development of characters. I didn't necessarily enjoy the storyline just because I don't want to think of that situation happening in real life but yet I am sure it does happen. A very fast read. Keeps you wanted to read "just a little more" because you want to know what is happening!! A great Freida read!

Freida has done it again! This was a fantastic book. It kept me guessing the entire time and I couldn’t put it down!

This book was amazing! I finished it in three days and I could barely put it down. This book has you guessing and hanging on to the next page! If you think you’ve guessed it, wrong, you have not. Frieda has done amazing work again! I highly recommend this book for those who want a good thriller, realist reads, and a book that you just won’t want to put down!

This book had me on a roller coaster. I want sure house to feel throughout the book and who to"hate". My opinion of the antagonist changes so much and the twists at the end kept coming. This is one of my favorite Frieda McFadden's books and I feel honored to have had three opportunity for early access to the story.

Freida has done it again!
This book is full of twists and turns and absolutely shocks you on every chapter.
It is about Eve & Nate who are a married couple and both teach in a High School.

If you think you know how this is going to end... then your probably wrong.
I read this is 24 hrs (fastest read ever) and couldn't put it down!

Don't sleep on this one!

Typical of the author, there are some twists in the story to keep things interesting. I always say you do have to able to just suspend reality for her novels to work for you. But you can always count on them being really quick reads when you need one.

Freida does it again! The entire time I was reading, I was certain I had it all figured out. As always, I had NO idea what was truly going to happen at the end! This book pulled me in on the first couple of pages and kept my interest all the way until the twisted ending!

Freida never ceases to amaze! Just when I thought I had it figured out, nope…on more than on occurrence. Forever my favorite author! ❤️

Thank you Netgalley for this eARC. Going to say 3.5 stars rounded down to 3. This is not my favorite of Freida McFadden, I did need to keep reading and wanted to know what would happen, but not a huge fan of the relationships in this book. And that epilogue made me dislike pretty much every character in this book.

I’ve read a lot of Freida McFadden’s books, but this one as by far my favorite. The amount that anxiety that this book caused me with the amount of twists and turns was insane. I loved the multiple points of view that this book gives. I know that style is normal for McFadden but it was done so well here, and it made it impossible to put down.

Forget everything you know about Freida McFadden's writing, The Teacher brings us a book full of guessing.

If you think you've figured out the plot, you will be sorely mistaken. As with the fashion of a Freida novel, this book has twists at every corner. Freida's writing has taken to a whole new level and this book is testament of how far she has come. Although the topics covered in this book might be on the sensitive side it still grips and holds you tight.

I really enjoyed how the story of Addie and Eve unfolds and found Nate's character to be a lot more than what I expected in part 1. With a typical "student falls in love with a teacher"story there is actually a lot more too it and a thrilling ride is ensured. Well done Freida, I love it!

Thank you Netgalley, Poisoned Pen Press and the author, Freida McFadden for sending me this ARC to read and review.

In typical Freida fashion, she wrote another book I just couldn’t put down. Trigger warning for inappropriate teacher/student relationships. As a teacher, I couldn’t wait to read this! It lives up to the hype, although some of it predictable, I definitely didn’t figure out the surprise twist at the end! Thank you Netgalley and Poisoned Pen Press for the ARC!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐+⭐
The Teacher by Freida McFadden was insane! I mean AAAAAAAAA insane! I can't even express how lucky I am (and special (at least I feel like one)) to get an advance copy, even though it's 4 days before official publishing day! Anyway, back to the book!
YES! This is the one! This is a good one! Yes, this book makes you mad from time to time (but this is what we want - real feelings), and this book makes you question things (yes, it's happening even though you don't see this!)...
I just loved it... it's like a masterpiece between naivety and manipulation, it's like an archeologist digging into the unexplored field of lies and secrets...

This definitely is one of my top favorite 5 Freida books!

Eve and Nate are two married teachers in the same high school. They never fight, they never argue, and they look like a perfect couple.
Addie and Kenzie are two students who hate each other! Addie caused so many lies and topics of gossip but Kenzie the popular girl, the main cheerleader, the one with her minion army will do everything to make Addie's life a living hell!
Hudson and Addie used to be best friends but now he is with Kenzie... he is like a solder between good and bad.
They all are in the same high school but they don't have any idea of what is going on!

I can understand how this book can make people angry at the same come on, it's happening more than you can imagine! Just talk to your teenagers! Give them this book! Make this a must-read novel in high school! And this will solve many future problems!
I loved this book, I nearly stopped my day for this book!
Took me from the morning to the evening... but I LOVED IT!

Embark on a rollercoaster of suspense with The Teacher, a thriller that pulls you into its dark and twisty narrative, making it nearly impossible to put down. As a mother, delving into the unsettling dynamics of the teacher-student relationship was a challenging journey, yet the sheer enthrallment of the storyline kept me hooked. In this riveting tale, every character seems to elicit a visceral response, creating a narrative where disdain and fascination collide in a truly gripping fashion.

Thank you to Net Galley and Poisoned Pen Press for the Arc!

This book!!! I loved every second of it. I love how Freida's books are quick and easy reads but still hold so much darkness. I was so wrapped up in this story, I didn't do anything all day except read. This was definitely my favorite of FM's recent books and I just know it's going to be a huge hit!! 5 stars!!!!!

Wow! Freida has done it again. This whole book had me wondering and asking questions around every corner. Parts of it infuriated me and stressed me out, but I couldn't stop reading it. I needed to know what happens and how it all ended. The epilogue got me the most though. I'm still trying to wrap my head around it. I am so happy I got the eArc for this book and I can't wait for everyone else to read it! FIVE ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐!
