Let me be honest—Freida McFadden’s books are kind of like junk food. You know they’re not exactly “good,” but you just can’t stop. The Tenant is no exception.
Now, are the characters annoying? Yes. Are the plot twists absolutely bonkers? Also yes. But there’s this addictive quality to McFadden’s writing—once you start, you have to know what happens next. Her books are the perfect palate cleanser when you’re in a reading slump or just need something fast-paced and unpretentious.
I wouldn’t call The Tenant “good” in a traditional sense, but it’s wildly entertaining, easy to devour, and exactly what I needed for a no-pressure read.
