Currently reading - Psychological Thriller

I’ve only read one of her other books and it was a page turner. 📖

I just began reading The Teacher and I’m already on chapter 10. ⭐️ It’s a psychological thriller containing twisted secrets and revenge. There was a scandal involving a teacher and a student. 🧑‍🏫 👩‍🎓 The story goes back and forth between two characters: Eve and Addie.

I’ve read that it was really great! And also read that it made people uncomfortable. But so far I’m enjoying it! And I have a feeling it will be finished by the end of this week. 🤓
