I was disappointed. This book has been hyped up but I feel it was a letdown. Unrealistic twists and nonsensical characters. It was an easy read and the ending was maybe somewhat satisfying but overall wouldn’t recommend
this is the first book I have read by this author and based off of this book I would not rush to read another. I didn’t care for most of the characters and while there were a lot of twist and turns, it was mostly unrealistic and I found a frustrating read.
Dragged a bit but had some good plot twists. The neighbor storyline was a bit weird but gave the book a happy ending for the couple I guess. My fave character was Hank. Your initial impression is that he is going to be the bad guy but he kind of end up being the hero?
Freida McFadden’s The Crash is an easy, quick read that offers a blend of suspense and drama. While the book certainly has its entertaining qualities, it falls short when it comes to fully developing tension. The pacing is fast, and it doesn't linger too long on building suspense, which can leave the reader wanting more depth.
The plot twists, though numerous, tend to be predictable and rely on shock value rather than truly surprising revelations. Some of the plot points feel contrived or difficult to believe, detracting from the overall believability of the story. While it’s understandable that a thriller might push boundaries, certain elements in The Crash stretch the limits of plausibility, making it harder to remain fully immersed in the narrative.
Despite these shortcomings, the story is still engaging. Tegan, the main character, is relatable and likable, which makes it easier to root for her as she navigates the twists and turns of the plot. However, the ending feels more focused on providing dramatic shocks rather than delivering a truly satisfying or thought-provoking conclusion.
The Crash is a fun, fast-paced thriller that can provide a few hours of entertainment. It may not be the most believable, but it’s still an enjoyable read for those looking for a lighter suspense novel.
