What in the Limonene is going on!?
Freida McFadden is back with The Tenant, a twisty domestic thriller filled with tension, secrets, and just enough absurdity to make you laugh out loud. Meet Blake and Krista, a struggling couple who decide to rent out a room in their Brownstone to make ends meet. Enter Whitney: beautiful, bubbly… and maybe a bit too perfect.
As mysterious noises echo in the night and neighbors begin acting strange, Blake starts to wonder if he’s invited something far more dangerous than he bargained for. Between awkward goldfish symbolism, limonene overload, and a twist that flips everything on its head (but maybe not in the best way), The Tenant is a chaotic, fast-paced ride that’s entertaining, occasionally eye-roll-inducing, but undeniably Freida.
Whether you love McFadden’s signature “wait, what?” plot turns or find yourself yelling at the characters (looking at you, Blake), this book delivers bingeable drama, messy relationships, and thriller tropes with a side of sass. Oh, and don’t ask about the epilogue.
A fun, fast read with familiar Freida chaos. Just don’t expect it to change your life… or make you like Blake.
