For this review, we get into one of Freida’s newer book releases, Dear Debbie. While I usually enjoy Freida’s books a lot, this one fell flat for me in a few different ways. While it’s not one of my favourites by her, it was still an enjoyable mystery to follow, and she has some much better reads to check out in her catalogue.
In "The Ex," Freida McFadden explores themes of jealousy and insecurity within relationships. Despite a gripping narrative and emotional tension, the plot can become convoluted, making it hard to follow. The climax reveals deeper issues with character motivations, leaving readers perplexed. Overall, it’s an intriguing but messy psychological thriller.
The God of the Woods by Liz Moore is a mystery thriller focusing on the Van Laar family, plagued by the disappearances of siblings Barbra and Bear. While the narrative is rich in character exploration and emotional depth, the pacing may not satisfy those seeking a fast-paced plot. Ultimately, it's more character-driven than thrilling.
The Push by Ashley Audrain is a psychological thriller exploring the complexities of mental health within a family. The story revolves around Blythe Connor, who struggles with postpartum issues and an unhealthy bond with her daughter, Violet, while grappling with the death of her son. Despite strong writing, the plot feels familiar, leading to a mixed review.
