Author Freida McFadden is almost guaranteed to be a bestseller these days whenever she launches a new story. In her latest, the gripping, twisty thriller titled The Divorce, she is taking readers on a subversive journey about love, relationships, and obsession.
Published in May of 2026, The Divorce was yet another of McFadden's to become an instant No. 1 bestseller on The New York Times bestseller list. Since publication, the book has spent the past seven weeks on the paperback trade fiction bestseller list.
If bestseller lists weren't enough, reader communities also cannot get enough of The Divorce. Currently on Goodreads, the largest online community of readers, the book is the number three "Most Read Book" of the week, just behind Yesteryearand The Calamity Club. Readers have shelved The Divorce this week on the platform over 12,000 times. Aside from the recent weeks, The Divorce currently holds over 230,000 ratings and 18,000 reviews on Goodreads alone.
The Divorce follows married couple Naomi and Jeremy, who seemingly live the perfect, white-picket fence, couple-up life. Until Jeremy blindsides Naomi by kicking her out of their home, draining their mutual accounts, hiring the top divorce attorneys in the area, and leaving her for a much younger woman. While Naomi should move on with her life, she becomes hyper-fixated on her ex’s new partner. What starts as a morbid curiosity begins to morph into something even more sinister. As her obsession grows, Naomi uncovers secrets and darkness she never could have expected that may even threaten her own life.
Readers have praised The Divorce for being fast-paced, unputdownable, and unhinged. Exactly what you're looking for in a beach read, or something to pick up for easy reading during the summer.
McFadden's next novel, The Witch, will release during spooky season this year in October. Until then, fans of the prolific bestseller can pick up The Divorce and all of McFadden's other titles wherever books are sold.
