THE TEACHER
Freida McFadden
What are your plans for this evening? Don’t pick this book up unless you have about four hours available to rapidly flip pages.
I received THE TEACHER late one Friday afternoon. I couldn’t wait to read it, so I started it right away. Two minutes in, the first chapter was done, and I knew whatever plans I had for the evening were canceled. Me and McFadden had a rendezvous, and I was ready.
THE TEACHER stars a handful of characters. Eve is a teacher, known at school as Mrs. Bennett. She is married to the handsome Nate, otherwise known as Mr. Bennett. Eve is a math teacher known for her tough grading and displeasing nature. Nate on the other hand is well-loved by students and keeps himself busy organizing a poetry club and helping wherever he can.
Addie, otherwise known as a big problem, attends the school where Mr. and Mrs. Bennett teach. This semester Addie is in both of their classrooms and what will happen this semester will blow your mind and is the plot for THE TEACHER by Freida McFadden.
If you’ve never read McFadden’s book before, let me break it down for you. The writing is simple yet effective. The suspense is executed to perfection. I couldn’t read it fast enough, I was rapidly turning pages and had to physically force myself to take breaks and take a breath.
Parts of the book feel like Pretty Little Liars fan fic. Characters who go there and go there again. Characters who are bad and don’t care about being good. The kind of bad we all agree is a little good now and again.
I won’t spoil the ending. I won’t spoil the twist. Read it for yourself and come back here, tell me all about it.
THE TEACHER comes out on February 6th and if you see yourself alone or bored with the present company this coming Valentine’s evening, I’ve got the best book for you to read to help you pass the time.
Thanks to Netgalley and Poisoned Pen Press for the advanced copy!
