šŸ“š The Teacher by Freida McFadden — Full Spoiler Review

⚠️ Big spoilers ahead! I’m about to spill all the secrets — the twists, the betrayals, the jaw-dropping ending. Proceed at your own risk if you haven’t read it!

šŸŒŸ My Rating:

šŸ‘‰ 5 out of 5 stars — This was everything I wanted: fast, shocking, full of shady characters, and impossible to put down.

✨ Why I Picked This Up

After reading The Housemaid (fun writing, but the story didn’t blow me away), I gave The Teacher a chance. And wow — this one delivered!

If you’re into:

  • Twists that keep you guessing

  • Characters flipping from good to evil and back again

  • Red herrings galore

šŸ‘‰ This book will hook you.

šŸ“ The Teacher — Plot Summary (with spoilers!)

šŸŒ¼ Eve Bennett’s Perfect Life? Yeah Right.

  • Married to Nate, the “good guy teacher”

  • Big house, no passion, no kids

  • Career drama: Her mentor Art left the school in disgrace over a scandal with student Addie Severson

šŸ‘‘ Addie’s World

  • Bullied by Kenzie, abandoned by former BFF Hudson

  • Finds comfort in poetry and (uh oh) in Nate

  • Nate encourages her to write for the school mag… and then they’re sneaking into the darkroom

  • First kisses, then it gets physical

šŸ”„ The Explosion

  • Eve spots Nate kissing Addie

  • Confronts Nate → demands a divorce, the house, his job, and that he quit teaching

  • Nate agrees… until Addie shows up at Eve’s house

  • Addie clocks Eve with a frying pan šŸ˜¬

  • Nate strangles Eve

  • They bury her at a pumpkin patch

šŸŒ™ But Eve Survives

  • Wakes up in the dirt like the ultimate final girl

  • Plans revenge

  • Starts messing with Nate’s head — ravens, shoes, cryptic notes

  • Lures him back to the patch

  • Buries him alive (with help from “Jay”)

šŸ’£ THE BIG TWISTS

✅ Jay is actually Hudson — Addie’s old BFF, hiding in plain sight. He helps Eve take down Nate.

✅ Eve was Nate’s first victim. Yep. She was his student years ago. Nate seduced her just like he did Kenzie and Addie — using the same poem every time (Poe’s “The Raven” — the man was lazy and creepy).

✅ Nate’s M.O. = seduce, manipulate, destroy. Until Eve turned the tables.

šŸ•° Six Months Later…

  • Nate’s “missing” (we know better šŸ˜‰)

  • Eve is gone

  • Addie, Kenzie, and Hudson/Jay are all friends again

  • Addie hopes for romance with Hudson

šŸ’¬ What I Loved

✅ So many twists and turns I couldn’t stop reading
✅ Fast, binge-worthy pacing
✅ That satisfying revenge arc

šŸ™„ What Made Me Roll My Eyes (Just a Little)

  • The bird ending — okay, Freida, we get it. Poe. But the symbolism was a bit much šŸ˜‚
