As an educator, I was dying to get my hands on this one!

McFadden's suspenseful storytelling had me hooked until the jaw-dropping epilogue. While some parts were a bit unbelievable, the shock factor at the end is signature McFadden. Quick hook: Eve and Nate, a teacher-couple at their high school, find their lives entangled with the aftermath of a scandal involving a student named Addie.
The alternating perspectives of Eve and Addie provide a gripping lens into this complex narrative.

Thank you to NetGalley and Poisoned Pen Press for the ARC!

Thank you NetGalley for the advance readers copy in exchange for my honest review.

I was so happy with myself for figuring this one out. As I sat there with a smug smile on my face, telling myself "I knew it!", I was like, wait a minute... What about??? And then BOOM! *mind blown*
Freida has done it again. I absolutely loved this book and have already pre-ordered a copy for my library. I cannot wait to share The Teacher with my patrons.

2.5 stars

I loved The Coworker, but The Teacher fell extremely flat for me. It seemed unrealistic and had many plot holes. I do really enjoy Frieda McFadden’s writing but this book made me feel weird and just questioning “how?”

The 16 year old girl in this book, Addie, is hard to feel believable in the way she talks. The comments about Lucky Charms and Lil Nas X made me cringe a bit. It just did not feel natural. She is a teenager, who is going through it, but this goes beyond that and is more so about how her “teenage” side is shown in the writing.

The logistics of so much of what happened in the climax of the story felt so jumbled, and again, just unrealistic for a mystery/thriller. Most parts of this book felt predictable. There was one plot twist I did not see coming, but most of the book I could see coming before it happened.

It was so back and forth in a very odd way, I just was not a fan. I will definitely still pick up other books of Freida’s in the future!

Absolutely incredible! I love this book. It is definitely one of my favorite Freida books. I highly recommend it. Great plot, fantastic character development, and engaging from beginning to end. Bravo Freida!

This book was top notch! FREDIA did it again with this thriller and its all twists and turns!! I inhaled this book all in one day!! Love love love

As usual, this author threw in more than one deviously wonderful twist at the end that I did not see coming. As a fan of this author I keep thinking that one day I will figure out the ending, but so far I am still surprised at the end. Parts of this book are raw and emotional, which fits with the setting of a high school filled with the heightened emotions of teenagers and the adults who are responsible for them. This book flips between different character perspectives, which I found captivating and added depth to the characters. I will continue looking forward to Freida Mcfadden's books.

Secrets, twists, and revenge - my favorites! This one is great as a crossover since there are POVs of both teen and adults. Sometimes the reader thinks they have an inkling of what is actually going on and then BOOM the twist comes. McFadden is one of my go to authors now- quick, fast paced thrillers.

Thank you, NetGalley and Poisoned Pen Press for allowing me the opportunity to read the ARC of The Teacher.

Freida McFadden has done it again. This is my favorite book of hers and I highly recommend it. This is a jaw-dropping thriller told from the perspectives of Eve, the teacher, and Addie, the student. It is full of twists that you will not be able to put down. It is fast-paced with shorter chapters that will have you hooked from the beginning and shocked at the end. I give it all the stars.

As usual, Freida nailed the twisty psychological thriller with this one! I did successfully have it all figured out before the big reveal at the end, sans the very last plot twist that came in the epilogue. This was hands-down one of Freida’s best books to date!

Twists and turns at every corner, this kept me hooked right til the last page. My first Frieda McFadden novel - won’t be my last!

This was such a good read. I thought I knew where the story was going but I had no idea. There were so many twists I was not expecting. I enjoyed the ending and thought it was an absolutely perfect way to tie everything and everyone together.

Thank you to NetGalley and Poisoned Press for this arc in exchange for an honest review.

Freida has done it again. I truly love all her books and this one did not disappoint. Had my attention from the Prologue. Two teachers in a boring marriage each have secrets of their own. A young girl who thinks she found her "soulmate". Man had it not been for the holidays I would of had this book done in days. The way that it kept your attention just enough to want to keep going. Plus Freida's short chapters always make you want to keep going. Can't recommend this book enough!!!!

I cant wait to purchase this book when it comes out just so I can read it again some day!!

Thanks to Poisoned Pen & NetGalley for providing a digital ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I keep trying Freida McFadden books in the hopes that I will find one that is OK< and I think this is finally the one!
Sort of. I mean, it still has problems, but she is definitely honing her skills over time.

This time around, the story centers around a high school, where a married couple, Eve and Nate, teach Math and English, respectively. Both teach junior Addie, who became a little fixated on a kindly teacher the previous year, leading to rumors that he was abusing her and causing him to be let go from his teaching position (even though nothing happened). Addie's father had died, and her best friend, whom she loves unrequitedly, has ghosted her in favor of the school's most popular girl, McKenzie.

Overall, the plot is strong, even if McFadden relies on tropes, tropes, tropes throughout. Eve is obsessed with shoes and uses shoe shopping as therapy. Nate is a young(ish), handsome Poe lover who runs the school's poetry supplement. Addie's best friend is a second-generation Polish kid named Hudson (really? Not Oleksander or Gregor?) who's nerdy but is a football star. You get the idea.

It was entertaining, if a bit far-fetched, until I got to the Big Twist at the end, which reeeeallllly beggars belief and, frankly, I have some quibbles about even apart from its "of course it's this person" deal, so much so that I docked a star. Still, a fast read, plot is better than most,

I don’t know where to start!
Part 1 I found to be kinda irritating, slow and somewhat cringey which I guess is expected when your reading about a teenagers thoughts, I wasn’t sure I liked the
Book… then part 2 happened and wow! What a change of pace, I needed to know more, couldn’t put the book down, what a twist, then shockingly part 3 came and blew me out of the water! The ending was completely unexpected I had to read the epilogue twice to make sure I was reading it correctly and oh boy was it a crazy rollercoaster ride

Freida McFadden does an excellent job of keeping readers on their toes for her domestic thrillers. That is what I love about her writing. You absolutely need to suspend your disbelief and understand that you will be encountering some of truly terrible people in her novels. Once you do that, though, you get to enjoy being on the roller coaster of her writing with all that entails.
This book is about a married couple, who both happen to be teachers at the same school. The husband (Nate) is handsome and everyone's favorite English teacher. Eve, his wife, is a math teacher and a lot more strict than her husband. Enter Addie, a student who comes back to school after being the center of a scandal that shocked the school.
It was a compelling read, I finished it in a day of two. McFadden is always fun for unbelievable (in the best possible way) domestic thrillers. I will purchase for my library, always a favorite.

Another great one by Freida Mcfadden that kept me on my toes! I always end up picking up her books and not putting them down until I finish it. Some parts were not so believable as to why I did not give it 5 stars. For example the Jay twist at the end had me confused!

A big thank you to NetGalley, the publisher, and Freida McFadden for allowing me an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
I have really grown to love Freida McFadden! This was a good one. A married couple of teachers and a 16 yo girl who falls in love with one of the teachers. The rest is a fast ride that I couldn't put down. Don't want to give away any spoilers. But I liked the ending and even the epilogue was great.

Another awesome read from Freida! I enjoyed the characters in this and of course twist at the end. I can see this being a lifetime movie. Definitely one I would reread and I have only done that with a few books! Thanks Netggalley, Freida and Poison Pen Press for the chance to read and review!

Eve is a maths teacher at Caseman high school. She is married to a very handsome Nathenial who is an English teacher at the same school. People say that Eve is lucky to be married to Nathenial as she is a plain Jane and nothing to write home about. She also has a fetish buying very expensive shoes.
They both teach a student called Addie. Who last year was accused of having an inappropriate relationship with a teacher. The teacher who was later fired. Eve warned Nathaniel of occurred to make sure that it does not happen again. But it is easier said than done when Addie develops a fixation to her teacher.
Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for a copy of ‘The Teacher’. Ms Fadden has done it again with ‘The Teacher’. Another fabulous read from the author. Another tense thriller with the authors trademark twists that kept me reading to the small hours of the morning. Yes at times it was a bit farfetched but that didn’t deter me from reading. I couldn’t put this down. I loved it and yet again, I thought it figured it out when it came that explosive twists at the end. 5 stars from me.

Wow! This book will keep you on the edge of your seat and turning pages to see the end. Two teachers are married and in a boring relationship. The wife begins an affair with a shoe salesman and the husband begins seeing a student. In the end the husband has had lots of relationships with students . A really great read.
