HEY YEALL! Amber and Colby are back with a new book club episode all about The Tenant by Frieda McFadden. This book is officially on the shelf, so of course, we had to dive in.

Before we do anything, we announce our KINDLE GIVEAWAY WINNER! 

In this episode, we’re breaking down all the twists and turns of McFadden’s chilling new thriller about a man named Blake, who has it all. Until he gets fired from his job abruptly and goes broke. In order to pay the mortgage for him and his fiancee, they take in a tenant to rent a room in their New York City home. That is when things take a turn for the worst. Foul smells, fruit fly swarms, murdered neighbors. Is Blake's new tenant trying to make his life hell?

We give you a full in-depth summary (so don’t worry if you haven’t read it) and we unpack everything from the unreliable characters to the big, jaw-dropping reveal.

We also dig into some fun discussion questions, talk through major themes like trust, manipulation, and what makes someone a villain, and of course, we add our usual dose of New Orleans banter along the way.

If you love thrillers, jaw-dropping twists, or just feel like hanging out with your book besties, this episode is for you. Make sure to follow us on any podcast platform and on socials @TheOpenBooksPodcast so you never miss an episode! 💋📚
