I keep rocking between a 3.5/4… so I will stick with the 4. I did enjoy this one… was it my most favorable book from her, probably not? Did I get anything done while this book held my brain captive, absolutely not!? Will I always read every Freida book that comes out, ABSOLUTELY right!?

Overall, The Teacher did suck me in from the prologue. However, this time all of the characters, in my opinion, were not likable. They were all secretly manipulative, naive and just annoyed me, but that’s what was needed to make this story unfold the way that it did. So it does fit and piece this work of art together beautifully. They just were not characters that could be adored.

The book opens with a letter from Freida, if you are triggered by adult / student relationships… please take the time to read it, the trigger warning is very much there. Also, this is very real life and as much as people do not want to admit it, it’s happening ALOT more than you’d like to believe. So props on bringing a real, raw and maybe controversial topic so boldly to light. 👏

The reason my star rating isn’t higher or that this wasn’t one of my favorites is because, I felt there was an important detail that will leave many readers wondering or wanting to know more about... or maybe I am just OCD. This bit of the story is brought up quite often but never explained in detail and I just wished it would have been explained throughly. Especially for people with minds like myself.

The other reason for the between 3.5/4 stars is because some of the book seemed more juvenile and catty, than it necessarily needed to be. Yes, the high school drama needed to be there but I didn’t necessarily think it needed as much focus as what we received.

I actually FOR ONCE, predicted most of the outcome of this story, expect the epilogue.

Man, the epilogue blows you out of the water and that piece of unexpected craziness, deserves five stars in itself. Holy moly!! Nobody will see that coming or even have a slight inkling of it. Just wow!

If you are Freida reader, READ it! It is good, it is raw and is a unique story of things and situations that can happen in this wackado world.

I am thrilled that I did read it and I am once again honored to receive an ARC, before the release.

Thank you Freida for your talent and the love you have for writing and your readers. Thank you Poisoned Pen Press, Mandy and NETGALLEY for the ARC in exchange for my honest feedback. I cannot wait to see what others think!!

I LOVED this book. The multiple POV’s kept me enveloped in the story. Once the twists began, they only got crazier and I was completely on the edge of my seat. I finished this book in two sittings and was sad when it was over! Great job Freida!

Wow, did not see that coming. I binged read this book. I haven’t read a book in one seating for quite a while. Some things left me speechless. Really anything descriptive would potentially be a spoiler (imo). Another knock out of the park for Freida McFadden.

if you want a book you will not be able to predict the ending then this is the book for you! i was absolutely SHOOK by the last chapter and the epilogue OMFG. this book was sooooo good!! i swear Freida NEVER MISSES.

This book literally blew my mind! I loved the way it jumped between viewpoints and how the story developed. It was a fast paced, can't put it down, twisted thriller. Freida has done it again! I can't recommend this book enough. I will be telling all my friends and my social media account followers to get this book!

The Teacher by Freida McFadden releases on February 6!

Before I share my thoughts, I just want to say that if you have triggers make sure to know what this book is about before going into it. It definitely covers some sensitive and heavy topics that some prefer not to read about, BUT the synopsis does mention those topics.

🍎REVIEW🍎
I knew I was going to read The Teacher this weekend, but I didn’t expect to finish it in a day! This book hooked me from the prologue, the first line even, and didn’t let go. Freida writes her twists in a way that it’s hard to know what comes next and although I can predict some of the twist, I never get it completely right. The story was entertaining and I definitely experienced a range of feelings toward all the characters.

This one was a solid 4 star read for me. I enjoyed it more than The Coworker, but not as much as some of Freida’s other work.

Thank you to NetGalley and Poisoned Pen Press for the opportunity to review an eARC of this title.

Frieda McFadden does it again! I was so excited when I got picked by NetGalley to read the book early.

The book follows Eve and Addie. Eve, who on the outside, has a good life as a math teacher, and a good husband who also works at the high school teaching English. Then there is Addie, who was part of a scandal at the school last year. She lies, cheats, and hurts people. She can’t really be trusted. Deny everything is what she always tells herself.

There are so many twists and turns in this book that you will never see coming, especially at the end. This is a must read Freida book!!

I was able to read an advanced copy of The Teacher through NetGalley. I will have to say that this is probably my favorite Freida book so far. The epilogue...WOW!!!! As always, I didn't see that coming...

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! ❤️
