The Crash by Freida McFadden
3.0

This definitely had Freida McFadden’s signature style, but something about it just didn’t sit right with me. I absolutely loved the story leading up to the crash—it had so much potential! But after that turning point, it went in a direction that didn’t fully work for me. I almost wish she could go back and write another book that expands on that gripping beginning instead. 

One of my biggest frustrations was how stupid the characters were. None of them seemed to think through their actions, which made it hard to stay engaged. And while McFadden is known for her jaw-dropping twists, this one felt more unbelievable than shocking—it just didn’t hit the same way her usual endings do.

Overall, it was a decent read, but not one of my favorites from her. A solid 3 stars for me.
