Dear Debbie – Book Review

Quick Review–as usual, it was fast-paced with some twists and turns, the ending was quiet unexpected though

Rating:- 4/5

Sometimes, enough is enough…

Debbie Mullen is losing it. For years, she has compiled all of her best advice into her column, Dear Debbie, where the wives of New England come for sympathy and neighborly advice. Through her work, Debbie has heard from countless women who are ignored, belittled, or even abused by their husbands. And Debbie does her best to guide them in the right direction.

Or at least, she did.

These days, Debbie’s life seems to be spiraling out of control. She just lost her job. Something strange is happening with her teenage daughters. And her husband is keeping secrets, according to the tracking app she installed on his phone. Now, Debbie’s done being the bigger person. She’s done being reasonable and practical. It’s time to take her own advice.

And now it’s time for payback against all the people in her life who deserve it the most.

From #1 New York Times and international bestselling author Freida McFadden comes a biting, subversive thriller about what happens when women finally choose to take justice into their own hands – with killer results.

I ALWAYS make sure to read all Freida McFadden books, including her latest ones. Dear Debbie is her latest novel, which was released this year.

Debbie Mullen works as a columnist for a local newspaper in the town where she writes a column named Dear Debbie. Women send messages and seek advice from Debbie on how to repair or get away from their marriage. Debbie helps them to sort out their issues and sometimes she end up giving sinister advice.

Then Debbie gets fired from her job and she soon notices her daughters are behaving strangely. Even her own husband, seem to be mysteriously disappearing to somewhere and she cannot track him down through the tracking app she had made. Debbie will do anything–including murder to protect her loved ones.

This was intense. As usual, McFadden’s books are fast paced and this book is no exception. It was fast-paced, it was tiny bit disturbing. The story is mainly told in Debbie’s POV but we have Cooper, who is Debbie’s husband’s POV as well, and as well as a woman named Harley who reportedly is cheating with Cooper. Debbie seem to want to take revenge on the people who belittle her and her family. Debbie also had a traumatic experience that made her drop out of MIT and still dealing with that experience. There were twists and turns and the ending of the story was quiet unexpected though unreliastic in my opinion as well.

I feel her writing style is the same and the story is easy to follow and read. She will be releasing another novel this year.

Dear Debbie is worth four stars.
