The Teacher by Freida McFadden

1.0

dark tense fast-paced

Plot or Character Driven: Plot

Strong character development: No

Loveable characters: No

Diverse cast of characters: No

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

---

Not impressed, just made me feel incredibly uncomfortable and sick. The characters were unlikeable and their actions made me squirm and cringe with embarrassment and discomfort. Very touchy subject matter and I was disappointed to see my profession reduced to almost a mockery, particularly with many glaring red flags and safeguarding issues. The twist at the end added to the general discomfort and there were many parts that I had to skip over because it was genuinely disgusting.
