The Coworker

Love this author. Every book always has a great twist. Hard to put the book down. Look forward to the next

This is the first book of Freida’s that I’ve read which is additional to her Housemaid series. I adored those books so was keen to read some of her other thrillers. This one took me a few chapters to get into at first I wasn’t sure why as it wasn’t the format, as I loved that, I was thinking maybe it was the extensive detail in the emails but I soon came to realise why and by this time I was hitting the quarter way mark and once I had that realisation, I was settled in. I love the email format, I love how Dawn’s personality and quirks come through so brightly and understoanding her traits and how they made her who she is really adds a deeper level to the story. Her character is written so well, the person she is shines through McFadden’s writing especially with other character interactions with her. There is also one other great character, you can understand their frustrations and the want to be successful, however you can’t help hate them regarding their part in the story. Don’t want to say too much or give spoilers. What I really loved was the two timelines. You know you are reaching ‘the’ point as you read and as the two timelines interlink you realise how bloody good the book really is. Everything is perfectly concluded and I loved the ending despite the anxiety I was feeling as I progressed through the book. I did guess a couple of twists pretty early in the story but as I progressed I loved how it all came together. I just loved the book for the pure brilliance that it was and how the author orchestrated it. Fabulous story and I’m really glad I stuck with it.

Freida’s books are strangely additive, I really enjoyed the mixed media in this book, the story line was slightly guessable but I think that added to the enjoyment, you kinda know what you’re going to get with a Freida book, quick read, plate cleansers.

Wow I just couldn’t put this book down! There are so many twists and turns. Freida McFadden is a fantastic writer, this is the fourth book I’ve read and I’m just hooked from page one, can’t wait to start reading the next book of hers!

Can't wait to read this author's books. Every story has a great twist which you don't see comimg and so believable too.

This book is truly a captivating and unputdownable read. It has may twists and turn, packed with secrets, betrayal, and wild plot reveals. Truly one of the best books Ive read this year.

A bit repetitive at times, but I enjoyed the twists you expect in a Freida book.

This is the 6th Freida McFadden book I’ve read in a row. I read it in 4 days on my Kindle. I was addicted to it! Dawn is a brilliant character and so was Natalie. I could really picture them both. I really enjoyed the book, especially before the twist. It was great that some of the book included emails. Of course I knew there was a twist, can’t say I saw this twist coming. Seth and Santoro were great characters too which I could also picture. Of the six FM books that i’ve read this is defiantly one of my favourites. Of course a lot of them have similarities. I’d recommend reading, guess it’s quite relatable for anyone who works in a sales office job. And it’s so easy to read/get into.

Ce livre m'a beaucoup plus et donné beaucoup d'heures de lecture. On ne s'attend pas du tout à sa conclusion.

It came dirty with sticky things all over/ returned it

Letteralmente “divorato” pagina dopo pagina. E sempre inaspettata la fine .

This book is great! Huge Freida McFadden fan and this book didn’t disappoint! The twists keep you gripped the whole way through. Good quality paperback

英語初心者の自分でも引き込まれて、いつものどんどん読んでしまえるフリーダ・マクファデンのミステリー。今回も引き込まれて、寝るのも忘れて読み進んでしまいました。 強く生きるとは？特に女性が強く生きるとは？ まずは一見、美しく人好きがするけれども、実は周りに柔軟に対応しながら、したたかに利害を常に計算して生きているナタリーと、個性的と言われてしまい、地道に自分に忠実に生きざるを得ない、愛し方も一途なドーンの、生まれ持った身体的・精神的な資質の違いは、どちらが正しくてどちらが間違っているのかという問題でもなく、両者とも素直に、精一杯自分を生きていることは間違いない。 私は両者とも愛すべき人間、愛すべき自分の一部の様に感じました。 一見弱い立場のものは実は社会的には強く、全てを持っている様に見える人間は注目を集めるけれども、それだけに批判も受けやすい。その事を知っているからこそ、策略を使って生き延びるナタリーは、実はドーンに劣らず健気な女性とも言えるかも。 そしてこの作品を読んでしまった後、果たして自分は強く生きたいのかどうか…？と、今後折りに触れ、幸せとは何かという選択を間違えない様 、一度立ち止まってしまう思考回路ができてしまいそうです。 そしてそう考えてしまう自分は、資本主義の影響を受けているのか、この物語はアメリカの縮図なのか？ 今後の作品にも期待します！
