The Ex

Freida McFadden

The Ex is a standalone psychological thriller about Cassie, a struggling bookstore owner who falls hard for Joel, a charming ER physician with a seemingly perfect ex-girlfriend in his past. As anonymous threats and unsettling incidents begin targeting Cassie, the story alternates between her perspective and that of an unnamed, obsessive narrator known only as 'The Ex.' The narrative builds through escalating paranoia and misdirection toward a multi-layered twist that upends readers' assumptions about who is really stalking whom.
