I’ve read a few Frieda McFadden books and each one has been a poorly copied version of another book (such as The Housemaid being a rip off of The Last Mrs Parrish). Does she plug other books into AI and publish them? I don’t understand how she gets away with copying other authors.
The most infuriating thing is that The Housemaid is being turned into a Netflix movie starring Sydney Sweeney and Amanda Seyfried.

That’s funny, I just saw a post like this where they said her book “The Teacher” is practically a paragraph to paragraph re-write of “My Dark Vanessa.” What’s going on with this? *IS* she using AI?
I didn’t know The Housemaid was a copy of The Last Mrs Parrish, but it was the first and last Freida McFadden I read. Partly cos I was told all her books follow the same style in writing and content, and that it will feel like Wattpad/fanfic after a while
Now I wna check out The Last Mrs Parrish 😬
I don’t know. I tried to read one of her books. The Co-Worker I think. And it was BAD. I can’t even adequately describe how bad it was. It has to be AI. It has to be.
I can’t figure out why she’s so popular. Everyone that reads her heavily separate her books into two piles – those that aren’t readable and those that are “so good I can’t put them down”. I’m imagining the second pile is stuff she’s stolen.
I TOTALLY AGREE the housemaid was just a rip off of a bunch of different thrillers… Also felt like I was reading at a 4th grade level 💀
