Book Review: The Crash | Freida McFadden
This post is marked safe from spoilers! However, if you were looking for spoilers for The Crash, a summary, commentary, and the ending explained, that can all be found over on the spoiler-review. Over here we keep it clean!
A new Freida McFadden is always an event in the book world. She has such a large fan base and she does a great job on social media engaging with readers and building up buzz. She also has a lot of haters who will also have a lot to say, but as the saying goes, all press is good press, amirite?
Her latest standalone psychological thriller comes less than 6 months after her last one, The Boyfriend. I’ve seen that a lot of people didn’t like that book but I actually thought it was one of her better ones. I guess we all like what we like! I was interested in the premise of The Crash because it sounded different from her other books. In this case, the main character is trapped so it has almost a survivalist feel? Let’s look at the teaser!
What is The Crash about?
The nightmare she’s running from is nothing compared to where she’s headed.
Tegan is eight months pregnant, alone, and desperately wants to put her crumbling life in the rearview mirror. So she hits the road, planning to stay with her brother until she can figure out her next move. But she doesn’t realize she’s heading straight into a blizzard.
She never arrives at her destination.
Stranded in rural Maine with a dead car and broken ankle, Tegan worries she’s made a terrible mistake. Then a miracle she is rescued by a couple who offers her a room in their warm cabin until the snow clears.
But something isn’t right. Tegan believed she was waiting out the storm, but as time ticks by, she comes to realize she is in grave danger. This safe haven isn’t what she thought it was, and staying here may have been her most deadly mistake yet.
And now she must do whatever it takes to save herself—and her unborn child.
What did I think?
Sometimes I think the teasers for Freida’s books are too vague and almost misleading for the vibe of the book, but this one is actually pretty accurate! Centering around single and pregnant Tegan, who is 23 years-old and trying to save money to go to nursing school, The Crash got off to a great start. In the first section we learn a lot more about Tegan and her pregnancy and there is so much to unpack there. I won’t spoil what it is though! You can check out the spoilers if you desperately want to know. One bizarre thing that I can note is that Tegan has conversations with her unborn child throughout the book. She calls it “Tuna.” I found this quite strange, but perhaps readers who have been through pregnancy will say this is common!
Towards the end of the first section (after a lot happens) we get to the drive through the blizzard and the crash. Tegan makes some ill-thought-out decisions, but this is a tense sequence of events. Thankfully a local saves her, but Tegan is suspicious of him from the first moment she sees him. Does she have a reason to be? You’ll have to read to find out!
Unfortunately for me, the book flattened out from here. I can’t believe I’d say this about a Freida McFadden book, but this was boring and predictable (definitely not words I have ever used to describe her books!). Its not in the slow burn way, just in a drawn out repetitive way. Tegan is with those strangers for a long time, but not enough happened in my opinion. I almost wonder if some of this could have been set up with flashbacks. The segments at the beginning of the book were to me the most interesting storylines, but they fade to the background for most of the book. I will admit that Tegan is not nearly as unlikable as Freida’s typical character. I didn’t exactly like her, I thought she was dim and leapt to some wild conclusions, she was overdramatic at times. But that said, she was also the most sympathetic lead Freida has had in recent memory (perhaps Millie from The Housemaid aside).
The end also had a bizarre change of pace on how one of the characters is portrayed, and it’s not because of a twist. I think the reader is supposed to have followed an arc of their story that didn’t quite come through for me. I will leave it vague, but I talk about it more on the other review.
Overall a quick read and I think some readers will really enjoy it!

This book was definitely slower than her others but I enjoyed having characters that didn’t find it so easy to commit murder at every turn. This is a kinder cast of characters.

This book was so bad I went to a spoiler page and got the answers. It was so slow and there were unnecessary characters. It was not one of my favorite books by her and I hate to say that.

I thought it was very similar to Misery by Stephen King

I found the book slow, nothing happening and drawn out. Not her best book at all.

Reading it now! Reminds me of Misery by Stephen King. Freida is one of my favorite authors!

The Crash is a bitter disappointment from beginning to end. The Crash’s great sin is that there is no relief from the utter boredom of the whole book. Do yourself a favor and not read it.

This book was so bad, bordering on the ridiculous. I’m considering never reading this author again.

I was going through a rough time in my life and it greatly affected my union with my wife. We had so many emotional problems and struggles and this alone made us pay less attention to each other’s need. While i was on it trying to fix my problems and get back on my feet so that i can reshape my marriage and make it work better, my wife had women around her that influenced her wrongly and made her took the wrong part by walking away. That incident alone broke me and i was sure she wasnt doing everything she doing with her right senses. I did what i can to restore peace but it never worked and i had to Contact Dr Isikolo who made it possible for me fix the problem. He worked for me and restored back the love and connection between me and my wife and she returne back home. The result of his work started manifesting just after 48 hours as promised and i can bold say everything is fine between us now and we are both happy together, I am here to validate the information out there that Dr Isikolo is a good and honest man that you can trust to help you with your problems.

I almost lost my marriage when I watched my wife turned into a total stranger and left the kids and I. I was so furious knowing I had done everything possible to ensure I sustained my marriage as a father and husband. The terrible fights we had traumatized me and I couldn’t function properly as a man. I kept on trying to find out what made her did what she did which made me contacted Dr Isikolo. I was surprised to have found out that she was under a huge manipulation from a man who wanted to ruin my marriage with her and take her away from me. Dr Isikolo had to intervene and fixed the problem thereby ensuring she was rescued from the claws of the dark magic charm they used on her. Knowing that I was able to get my family together again with the help of Dr Isikolo gives me joy and I am forever thankful to him.

Y’ALL BE CAREFUL WITH CRYPTO TRADERS, GOT SCAMMED BUT RECOVERED MY FUNDS BACK!!!
Please everyone should be careful and stop being deceived by all these brokers and account managers, they scammed me over $279,000 of my investment capital, they kept on requesting for extra funds before a withdrawal request can be accepted and processed, in the end, I lost all my money. All efforts to reach out to their customer support desk had declined, I found it very hard to move on. God so kind I followed a broadcast that teaches on how scammed victims can recover their fund, I contacted MORRISGRAY830@GMAIL. COM , the email provided for consultation, I got feedback after some hours and I was asked to provide all legal details concerning my investment, I did exactly what they instructed me to do without delay, to my greatest surprise I was able to recover my money back including my profit which my capital generated. I said I will not hold this to myself but share it to the public so that all scammed victims can get their funds back. Contact; MORRISGRAY830@GMAIL,COM…’

My husband whom I built my life with for 23 years left me and the kids without a word. Everything came crashing down on me and I reached out to our loved ones and no one could help. There came a time he filed for divorce even when we had no issues or ever fought over anything disastrous. Dr Isikolo came to my rescue and fixed the problem I had with my man. He reunited us back together again and he returned home to us. Indeed life is mysterious and I never thought I would experience what I did went through but all thanks to Dr Isikolo who worked for me and assured me of the positive results after 48 hours which indeed came to pass as he promised. He can as well fix your problems if you contact him now. Text him on WhatsApp him on +2348133261196 or checkout his page https://isikolo-temple.com

I met my wife when I was working and living in Alaska. Ever since we got married, it has been all good till she decided to go for a summit in another state where she met someone who became closer to her and eventually he eloped with her. All my efforts to get back home to me was all in vain and her family did their best to reunite us but nothing worked. Just like everyone else, I came in contact with Dr Isikolo and he eventually did wonders and now my wife is back to me. It was revealed that she was hypnotized by the guy who eloped with her. I am glad I never let my emotions get the best of me to have ended my marriage with her. Dr Isikolo is a strong spell caster and trust him when he says the results will manifest just after 48 hours.

Even when I dated my wife for years, cohabited with her and vetted her thoroughly and ensured her family accepted me to part of them, the fact that ferminity is mallaeble came to play out in my marriage. She had some close friends who were single and most are still single till date. They had a huge influence on my wife and that alone always made us had issues. Eventually she left me and i had to seek help from Dr Isikolo knowing he is capable of restoring the love and happiness we shared and to also get her back to me. I complied with everything Dr Isikolo told me and my wife came back home with regrets of paying attention to fake friends and we are happy together again now.

I gave it all i had to make it work in my marriage but he still left me and our kids. His family fought for me and still nothing changed and he left broken and sad. I manage to keep going on with the hope everything will get better for us one day and he will be back to you. He is a great father to the kids and i had great belief i will see him return back to us. I was lucky enough to got in contact with Dr Isikolo who indeed knew how to fix the problem and he did and to my surprise, my husband came back home to me. I am still amazed how it was possible but indeed this true. The result of his work is assured to manifest after 48 hours.

Hello, it’s a lovely morning here.. I am Vanessa Craig, and I am writing this article to inform everyone that just because we overlook certain information due to our lack of knowledge doesn’t mean it isn’t real. I am currently valued at more than £70 Million Pounds because I acknowledged this vital information. I had assistance from a man named Meduza I found online whose impressive testimonials about his spell work are legit and genuine. His lottery spell enabled me to win £65 Million Pounds in the lottery by providing me with the accurate winning numbers after he performed a lottery spell for me. I placed my full trust in him and followed his instructions without any hesitation and right now, I am proud to say that Meduza’s spiritual advice for winning the lottery is superb and outstanding. I am very grateful to him for his help. To learn more, reach out to him at
