Cassie thinks she’s found the perfect man. Joel is everything she ever dreamed of—handsome, successful, attentive, and seemingly devoted to building a future with her. But there's one complication: his ex-girlfriend, Francesca. She’s beautiful, brilliant, and practically worshipped by Joel’s friends and family. Though Francesca is supposedly out of the picture, her presence lingers—like a ghost that refuses to be forgotten.

As Cassie tries to settle into her new relationship, strange things begin to happen. Little inconsistencies, unsettling discoveries, and secrets that just don’t add up begin to surface. With each page, the tension builds, and what starts as a romantic dream morphs into a chilling psychological nightmare.

Freida McFadden delivers yet another fast-paced, twist-filled thriller that keeps readers questioning everything. The Ex plays skillfully with themes of jealousy, obsession, and trust, making you wonder just how well you can ever really know someone—even the person you love. A domestic thriller with unreliable narrators, creeping suspense, and jaw-dropping reveals, The Ex gets a solid 3☆ from me.
