The Divorce

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.

It was a normal domestic situation. Not the usual Frieda thriller.

So. Idk that was interesting I guess. Very Freida. I’m convinced she only has a couple good ideas and has already gone through them. I think waiting longer before the next release might be good for us all. You to spend more time with it and us cause we need a break lol

This was definitely a Freida special! This was a book that I didn’t want to put down and I wanted to keep reading to see what was going to happen next. I was invested in the storyline and once a plot twist came along-I only wanted more! This will definitely be a re-read for me when book club selections come around.
