Follow along on the emotional roller coaster this book sent me on, and stick around to the end for my review of The Teacher by Freida McFadden, free of spoilers. This psychological thriller is dark, full of twists, and definitely a five star read for me.
Many thanks to Freida McFadden and ‪@PoisonedPenPressScottsdale‬ for the incredible opportunity to read one of my most anticipated 2024 reads, The Teacher, ahead of the release date! This was such a fun experience, and I loved this book!

The.Epilogue......omg

She’s the queen of the killer epilogue!

@beingbaylee6816 7 месяцев назад

Oh Em Gee yes!!! I didn’t see that part coming at all.

@bluesky5384 6 месяцев назад

It creates some inconsistencies in the character that the twist surrounds in my mind but other than that..this was a quick read that finished in a day!

@MarzAndrea 7 месяцев назад

The epilogue changed everything!!! I haven’t been so shocked by something in a very long time. Such a conflicting story

@ashleyc724 6 месяцев назад

I absolutely LOVED this book. What a masterpiece! Thank you, Frieda McFadden, for bringing such an important topic to light.

The shoessss......they never explained how she could afford shoes that are hundreds and hundreds are dollars! It was still a fun read though.

@TheBooksAreReal1 7 месяцев назад

Yes! I could maybe understand if she only had a few pairs, but there’s no way that two teachers could afford all of those shoes on their salaries! 😂

@michellebailey613 7 месяцев назад

They sort of do. She talks about how maybe if she puts it on a different credit card at one store so just assumed it was a lot of that sort of thing.

@MsCamiJMU 7 месяцев назад

@@michellebailey613 that's a good point...she's charging them on the credit card shm

***spoilers dont read this if youre aren done** i think she got them from jay........ idk since he worked there got a discount ? that's just how my thought process went lol

@bluesky5384 6 месяцев назад

@@AmeriloooJay couldn't afford to buy all of those shoes. The pair he got her was a one off situation it seems. Also..considering his age I doubt he bought them. Seemed like it was a lot of credit card charging (and probably debt).

PLEASE DON'T READ THIS COMMENT IF YOU ARE NOT WANTING TO BE SPOILED ________________________________________________________________________ the epilogue still is getting me- I read up that Frieda has confirmed that she knew Jay was who he was at school...so why would she think that he was actually married and had children during those scenes?? I just can't wrap my head entirely around it 🤨

@TheBooksAreReal1 6 месяцев назад

Oh wow! That bit of info completely changes my perspective about that particular detail in the book! 🥴

@bluesky5384 6 месяцев назад

Since this is a spoiler comment I can explain: the book never says "his wife". It always says "her" or "she" and we as the readers imply it's his wife, not his mom. My only issue with the epilogue is that means he then makes the hour drive (and that's just one way) to the pumpkin patch twice, helps Eve kill Nate, and covers for Addie AGAIN after he spent a year not speaking to her for helping cover up her dad's murder. It shook him up SO much, yet he had no issues helping with what went down in acts 2 and 3.

@joygamble3711 4 месяца назад

Legit the only hint was that Hudson/Jay was good at math…. Hmm wonder why! But I don’t get why they didn’t see each other at school?! How could they not?? Also the fact that the detective was female 👌🏼 perfection because she was like why is your wife getting her EXPENSIVE shoes muddy? Equivalent to when Elle Woods was like THE POOL BOY IS GAY because he knew she was “tapping last season’s Prada shoes” at him waiting for the water fountain

Hi! I was an English teacher too (retired recently). So yes, we look at school-centered books with very critical eyes. Were there a few things unrealistic? Sure. But I really didn't care. Was the writing meticulously crafted? No. This was not To Kill a Mockingbird, and that is totally ok! Sometimes all I want is a book to thrill me, chill me. And The Teacher did the trick. I read it in a little over a day. I like to use analogies, so here's one: sometimes you want a beautifully crafted, multi-course meal that will be in your memory forever. Sometimes you want a kickass pizza. That's what The Teacher is - a kickass pizza. And we all deserve one every now and then. If you like academic settings in your thrillers, I highly recommend For Your Own Good, by Samantha Downing.

@TheBooksAreReal1 5 месяцев назад

Yes! That analogy perfectly describes my attitude toward reading. And congrats on retirement! I’ll definitely check out your recommendation, thanks for passing that along!

@beingbaylee6816 7 месяцев назад

The note to leave school even had me going “what?”. Super unrealistic IMO. And I wondered about the shoes too. I assumed their credit card bill was insanely high and stayed that way,

@TheBooksAreReal1 7 месяцев назад

Yeah, I bet that bill is WILD! 🤣

I'm reading this currently! I used my local library's app Hoopla so I could listen to the audibook for free 📖😊 the story pulls you in. Also I loved your video! I think it's really cool you react so clearly

The Epilogue of this book was amazing! The Teacher was so well written and Freida has started me on the journey of reading thrillers

@TheBooksAreReal1 4 месяца назад

Yay! Freida got me hooked on thrillers too!

8:56 i’m stopping you right here. I am new to her books as well. This is only my third one. And my blood was boiling when I got to the midpoint. I was not expecting the storyline. I cannot wait to hear what you think of the end. once I finished it completely I liked it. But throughout I was not sure.😮 21:38 I really enjoyed watching you read this and hearing your take on it. I felt pretty much the same way though. I am not a teacher. I did not have any of it figured out. Well, maybe just the part about the girl at school.😉

@beingbaylee6816 7 месяцев назад

I love Freida! This book was so good in my opinion. One of my top three favorites for sure!

@bluesky5384 6 месяцев назад

Just finished tonight: I have a few thoughts that may be semi- spoilerish. As always, it was a book I read in a day because it kept me intrigued. I'm also a teacher and on spring break until Monday so of course I had to get this! I agreed with you that parts were so unrealistic like Nate letting Addie go home early. It happens with me when watching Abbott Elementary sometimes too lol but I moved past it. However, I had trouble getting past some of the inconsistencies in the Hudson/Jay. He was so shaken up by helping Addie cover up her dad's death that he doesn't talk to her for a year. Yet he jumps right in to drive to the pumpkin patch an hour each way (twice) and also helps Eve bury Nate with no issues. Also..why would the detective not ever attempt to seize Nate's phone right away to analyze it as the husband? I mean we have digital forensics technology in 2024! But overall I took it for what it was..a work of fiction that kept my mind engaged!
