The Teacher

I did the thing. I read a Freida McFadden book. I wanted to see what the big deal was and I had a migraine yesterday so I decided to start one of her audiobooks. I chose this one because even though the subject matter is uh, beyond messed up and super gross, it’s something that interests me as a past student of a less than trustworthy teacher as well as on a “for science” level.

I can definitely see how these books are considered page-turners, and the audiobook made it even better because Leslie Howard did a great job, especially with Addie’s chapters.

The Teacher didn’t feel especially suspenseful as I pretty much knew where it was going (aside from the epilogue, which I did not see coming and I can see why some people don’t like it though I can’t decide where I stand), but it’s one of those thrillers you can just have a quick, fun time with.

I’m not saying it’s bad, but it’s almost on par with something you like because it’s so bad it’s good. Again, not saying it’s one of those things, it just kind of gave me that guilty pleasure feeling I get from those things, and that feels good sometimes!

EDIT: omg I just read a review that talked about the epilogue and pointed out some EXTREMELY odd things about it that I can’t get over and now I am laughing so hard like wtf how did she even write that epilogue? My only excuse for not realizing sooner is that my brain was completely melted from my migraine. I 100% understand why it ruined the book for so many people it’s so hilarious like please read this book just to be mad at the epilogue it will kill you. I’m dead.
