Oh, do I love Freida! Freida McFadden is one of my favorite authors. Her books are fast and easy and never disappoint. The Ex was no exception.
Cassie thinks she has met the perfect man.
Joel is sweet, handsome, romantic, and best of all, he’s crazy about Cassie. She thinks she’s found the guy she’ll spend the rest of her life with. Have children with. Grow old with.
Yes, she knows about his perfect ex-girlfriend, Francesca. The beautiful, brilliant chef, beloved by all his friends. But she thinks Francesca is out of the picture. She thinks Francesca is gone for good.
Think again, Cassie.
I really thought I had this one figured out. I did not. I’m always surprised by how Freida McFadden can make me feel so confident that I know what’s happening, only to completely change everything.
I had my suspicions about Francesca from the beginning, and there were plenty of moments when I thought Cassie needed to open her eyes and see what was happening around her. But, of course, it wasn’t nearly that simple. Every time I thought I knew who I could trust, something happened that made me question it all over again.
And then came the twist. I definitely didn’t see that coming.
The Ex was exactly what I expected from Freida McFadden: fast, easy to read, a little crazy, and almost impossible to put down. I flew through it because I needed to know how everything was going to come together. And once again, Freida got me.
