The Crash was a powerful read. It made me reflect on life, loss, and how fragile everything is. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoys a character-driven story that doesn’t shy away from tough topics.

Freida has done it again! I really enjoyed the twists and turns in this story. I never would have suspected some of the betrayers in this book. I also found some of it predictable, yet still enjoyable. I only gave this book 4 stars because in comparison to some of her other books this one wasn't quite as twisty. I very much thank you for the ARC and look forward to her upcoming books!

3.5*** stars.
This one was a lot better than her last couple of releases. Usually I am left stunned and can't figure out her endings but I knew this one so quickly. It was a good storyline and it kept my interest but in the middle of the book it started to get repetitive.

The Crash was just okay for me. I typically expect mind-blowing twists from Freida McFadden, but this one didn’t quite deliver on that front. The twists were there, just not as strong as I’d hoped. Tegan was an okay FMC—she did what she had to do—but Polly? She needed serious help (and maybe a punch).

This was a solid, fast-paced read, perfect for a break after a heavier book. Leslie Howard’s narration was well done, making it an engaging listen even if the twists didn’t fully wow me.

Thank you to Frieda and Net Galley for the opportunity to be an early reader with an ARC. Very easy read but at times a little slower than her other books. Not my favorite of hers and not as twisty as others, but I still enjoyed it. It was a lighter read so a nice break in between other books.

Although I like other books of Frieda’s better, I would still recommend this for a quick read with cozy winter vibes with an ending that reminds you there are still good people out there with good intentions, regardless of how it may seem, and yet on the other hand, those we expect to be good people and to care the most for us, will often surprise us with different sides of them.

Here’s my review…
The Crash is another book by Freida McFadden that draws you in right from the first page.
It truly sucks you in from the first sentence. You feel so many emotions through out the book. For me I felt so anxious and wanted to scream at all the characters 🤣🤣 It was very intense!!
Towards the end of the book I did feel it being a tad repetitive, but loved that in true Freida fashion you think you know but you don’t…. Because my jaw dropped with the twist.
This is a definite read!!! It’s a unique spin on Freida’s typical twists and plot. I would very much recommend this book which is out soon on January 28,2025.
Thank you Freida McFadden for another great book!

I had high hopes for The Crash by Freida McFadden, but unfortunately, this book fell flat for me. While the premise was intriguing, the execution left a lot to be desired.

The biggest issue was the predictability. McFadden is known for her twists, but this one felt overly telegraphed. I guessed the "big reveal" early on, which made the suspense fizzle out quickly. The pacing dragged in the middle, with repetitive inner monologues that made it feel like the story was stretching itself thin.

Overall, The Crash had potential but didn’t deliver the gripping, edge-of-your-seat experience I was hoping for. If you’re new to psychological thrillers, you might enjoy it more, but for seasoned readers of the genre, it’s a miss.

thank you, NetGalley and poison press for an advanced copy of Freida McFadden‘s newest book, “ The Crash”. I was a little hesitant to read this one because I really don’t like when pregnant people are in danger, but I am glad I read this one. Teagan is eight months pregnant and decides to drive cross country to visit her brother since she is feeling very lonely and overwhelmed with her pregnancy. However, she gets in a car crash in his rescued by a couple who are not what they seem… This was very typical McFadden where there were lots of twists that you had no idea were coming, but it seemed like it could have wrapped up about fifty pages earlier. That being said , this is a Freida stan account so I can’t wait to see what she comes out with next!

This book was the ideal choice for a winter publication! It's appropriate. I eventually figured out a minor surprise, but every other twist left me absolutely confused, as is usual with Freida!

This was the perfect book to release during the winter! It’s fitting. I finally figured out a small twist, but In typical Freida fashion, I was completely thrown at every other twist!

I found this book different from Freida’s other books (I have read almost all of them) but in a good way. It seemed to start off a little slow for me but picked up and then I couldn’t put it down. I really enjoyed this book and liked how it ended.

I loved this book! I’m addicted to all of Freida’s books. She has so many twists that I never see coming.. Freida is the reason why I got into reading again. Her books grab my attention from the first chapter.; they are hard to put down!! I’d definitely recommend reading The Crash!

The Crash by Freida McFadden was another page turner for me. I enjoyed this book. It was a quick, easy read book that kept me guessing. It is broken into 4 parts and told from dual POV, following Tegan and Polly. Tegan is 8 months pregnant and gets into a crash during a storm after her breaks fail to work. She gets rescued by a big guy named Hank. Hank brings her to his home since the roads are really bad, and his wife is a former nurse who could help her. Freida is my go-to author when I am looking for a quick, easy thriller read to break up the romance books.

I received an advance review copy, and I am leaving my honest review voluntarily.

A new favorite written by Freida McFadden! This one felt like one of her older reads, which I really enjoyed. I loved the constant stress and anticipation through out the entire book! Towards the end of the book you get hit by twist after twist! And the ending leaves you both satisfied and emotional.

You can’t go wrong with any of Freida McFadden’s books but this is a new favorite!

Was a fast read! Enjoyed the story and didn’t see the twists coming. Didn’t love the nick name tuna for the baby…..lol. Would definitely recommend and read again in the future!
