The Divorce

By Freida McFadden

INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER A brand-new, gripping thriller from Freida McFadden, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Housemaid! What is a happily ever after really worth? Naomi was living the quintessential love story. Boy meets girl. They fall in love, get married, buy a dream house, start a family... Then--he kicks her out, hires the city's best divorce lawyers, drains their accounts, and takes up with a 20-something. It's a brutal end to the story. Naomi should accept defeat: move into a dingy apartment, get back into the workforce, and piece together the shattered remains of her life. Except, why should she? Instead, Naomi fixates on her husband's new girlfriend. What begins as cynical curiosity soon twists into obsession--and then into something far darker. As Naomi uncovers secrets she never imagined, she realizes her own life may be in danger. But if it keeps her perfect family intact, isn't it worth it? In The Divorce, #1 New York Times and internationally bestselling author Freida McFadden delivers a razor-sharp, subversive thriller where love curdles into vengeance, and survival becomes the most dangerous game of all.

Another classic twisty story by Freida!

This isn't a thriller, it's an unreliable (stupid) narrator gaslighting us for 80% and then a sloppy, rushed ending. Sorry, Miss Freida, this one just isn't it.

This is the second book that I read from this author and I made note to self - is all the women in her books naive? It was okay an easy read.
