The Teacher

The Teacher by Freida McFadden is a gripping psychological thriller that will keep you on edge until the very last page. If you love dark secrets, unexpected twists, and morally complex characters, this book is a must-read! The story follows Eve, a high school English teacher at a prestigious private school. She’s well-liked, dedicated, and seems to have everything together. But when a new student, Addie, joins her class, things start to unravel. Addie is sharp, observant, and a little too curious—especially about Eve’s past. You see, Eve has a secret. A huge one. And Addie? She seems to know something—but how? As Addie pushes and probes, Eve becomes more paranoid. Someone is leaving her disturbing messages, and it feels like her carefully constructed life is crumbling. The book keeps you guessing: Who is Addie really? What is Eve hiding? And how far will she go to protect her secret? This is the kind of story that makes you question how well you really know the people around you. What do you all think—how much should a teacher’s past matter? And at what point does protecting yourself become dangerous?

I really wanted to like this book. I try not to judge a book on whether I like the characters but I didn’t find one redeeming person in the whole book. All but one of the plot twists was predictable and that one unraveled eventually. I had a hard time believing that Eve did not know a student at her school. Creepy book!
