Wasn’t my favorite of her books but still a good read
Wow, what a ride! There was some time in part 1 that was annoyingly repetitive but it has a purpose, so hang in there! It is worth it.
The plot definitely plotted
If you’ve read Freida McFadden before, The Tenant will feel very familiar — fast, twisty, and constantly nudging you to question who the real villain is. The pacing is great, the chapters are short, and it’s the kind of book you keep saying “just one more chapter” to.
This isn’t a novel that sticks with you long after the final page, but that’s okay. It’s very much a “junk food” read — easy, entertaining, and perfect when you want something fun and bingeable without a big emotional investment.
Meh.
I figured out the general idea of this within the first few chapters, so that was a bummer.
But the story was good enough that it kept me reading for a while.
Unfortunately, the last 1/5 of the book fell apart. I feel like McFadden is known for her unique twists, but this one was a bit predictable. And the great twist at the end was just sort of ridiculous honestly.
Appreciated this for what it was, nice quick fun read.
