"Dawn Schiff is strange. At least, everyone at work thinks so. She never says the right thing. She has no friends. And she is always at her desk at precisely 8:45 a.m. So when Dawn doesn't show up to the office one morning, her coworker Natalie Farrell-beautiful, popular, top sales rep five years running-is surprised. Then she receives an unsettling, anonymous phone call that changes everything... Now, Natalie is irrevocably tied to Dawn as she finds herself caught in a twisted game of cat and mouse that leaves her wondering: who's the real victim? But one thing is incredibly clear: somebody hated Dawn Schiff. Enough to kill."--

I honestly had zero clue where this one was going. You kinda don’t like the main character because she’s just a brat but she’s also a liar soooo

No words. My jaw was dropped open at the end of the book hearing all the pieces fall together!! Insane story!!!

never thought I would say this about a freida’s book but this one is not worth it. Wtf was all that turtle talk? Every time the word turtle appeared on the page I severely rolled my eyes. The end was unexpected yes, but it didn’t hit the spot.

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES AND USA TODAY BESTSELLER "Don't start a Freida McFadden book late at night. You won't be able to put it down!"-- Natalie Barelli, bestselling author of Unforgivable Two women. An office filled with secrets. One terrible crime that can't be taken back. Dawn Schiff is strange. At least, everyone thinks so at Vixed, the nutritional supplement company where Dawn works as an accountant. She never says the right thing. She has no friends. And she is always at her desk at precisely 8:45 a.m. So when Dawn doesn't show up to the office one morning, her coworker Natalie Farrell--beautiful, popular, top sales rep five years running--is surprised. Then she receives an unsettling, anonymous phone call that changes everything... It turns out Dawn wasn't just an awkward outsider--she was being targeted by someone close. And now Natalie is irrevocably tied to Dawn as she finds herself caught in a twisted game of cat and mouse that leaves her wondering: who's the real victim? But one thing is incredibly clear: somebody hated Dawn Schiff. Enough to kill. The Coworker is a tense, unputdownable thriller from New York Times bestselling author Freida McFadden that explores the dark ways the past can echo through the present--with deadly consequences.

Started strong but somehow the ending with all of the “twists” was the most boring part. Basically gone girl but way worse.

Did enjoy this book, but for me didn't think give it higher than 3 star .

This was another quick read from Ms McFadden the story line was good but I predicted the ending and wasn’t blown away by the epilogue but ig I was satisfied w the outcome in the end lmao #I🩷turtles

Decent, but sometimes silly and predictable.

As usual with Freida this was an easy breezy read. Out of the 13 Freida books I’ve read this is the first that I was able to predict the entire story. Did this lessen my odds of like-ability? Probably. I was hoping for at least one surprise but I nailed it all. From the boyfriend down to the dead body. 

There is lots of turtle talk and some fairly cringe personalities in The Coworker with adults over 30 referring to “boyfriend points” like some middle schoolers. And how someone who is clever enough to embezzle money from work and charity events doesn’t have the brains to lawyer up immediately when evidence is piling up baffles me. How can you be so smart and stupid at the same time? 😆 

The bullying and the suicide hit hard for me though and I wish that I could say for certain that Natalie genuinely did regret her high school behavior but even her own mother could see that her daughter can be a monster to others.

As crazy and odd as Dawn can be my heart broke for her. Longing for friendship and acceptance but getting nothing but cold hearted hate from everyone including her mom. I wish there was a little more back story there with Dawn’s upbringing. 

Overall it was a decent read. Just not as thrilling as I would have preferred.

I always say i’m going to get the plot twist, and i always get it so so wrong bless me!
I was afraid I wasn’t going to like this book for some reason, but it went above and beyond my expectations! And the plot really got me, multiple times…

Interesting story. Typical Freida plot twists
