There’s something so addictive about Freida McFadden’s writing style, and The Tenant is no exception. I love how she keeps the chapters super short,it tricks my brain into thinking, “Just one more,” until I realise I’ve read quarter of the book! This one had me guessing the whole time. While I had my suspicions about certain characters, I genuinely didn’t see the twist coming. I found it one of those reads that I just wanted to keep reading and would recommend it to anyone looking for a fast-paced psychological thriller.
"You never really know someone until you live with them."
