The Boyfriend: From the Sunday Times Bestselling Author of the Housemaid | 
October 24, 2024 What the heck? What the hell? I can't believe that I just read what I read!!! There are so many twists and turns in this book. Who is the bad guy? Is it Slug (Tom's only friend)? Is it Randy? Is it Gretchen? Or is it Tom? I am not one to spoil the story. So PLEASE READ IT FOR YOURSELF I am telling you right now that you won't regret that decision. Oh, and I am on page 328 out of 359
October 24, 2024 Page 136 and Sydney has gone on another date, 2 months later after the death of her friend Bonnie, this time with a guy named Travis. Travis was not as attractive but he was an easy talker. During their date though, Sydney got a horrible nose bleed and Travis faints. Mystery Man runs over and asks if Travis is okay and he says yes. However, Travis gets up and leaves. Mystery Man sees Sydney and asks her out to dinner. He is TOM
October 24, 2024 haha 10/24/24 Um Can anyone explain to me why I have been breezing through this book? I am on page 118. Whenever I read a book by Freida McFadden, I feel like I cannot put it down. What a surprise... Sydney is trying to figure out who killed Bonnie her friend. Gretchen, Bonnie, and Sydney were best friends until Bonnie gets tortured and mutilated. The funeral occurs and she sees Kevin sitting in the back of the church. Was it HIM?
October 23, 2024 If you guessed this was my next TBR, you guessed right! If not, we are not friends. JK Anyway, I am excited and psyched (get it: pyschological thriller) to read a more up-to-date published book.
so-soI am always leary of reading books by the "it" authors of the moment, but I still chose this for BOTM.
It was okay.
What I liked:
●I didn't see the twist until it happened
●It was a quick read
What I hated:
●The stupidity of the female main character
●That the made-up word "unbecredifabulous" was used three times
so-soThe author did a good job of focusing my attention in the wrong direction so I was completely surprised by the twist. Still, the female MC was such a ding-a-ling I (almost) would have been fine with her getting bumped off. A soft pick but not enough to search out more by this author.
pickI tried a few different books on my commute over the past few weeks that I just couldn‘t get on with on audio (Playground, Intermezzo etc) so I thought I‘d go with an ‘easier‘ listen.
This was going to be a so-so all of the way through because all of the twists were heavily signposted. But then they weren‘t. 😳 I didn‘t see THAT coming!
The female MC was so stupid though, and made terrible decisions, it drove me crackers. 🤪
Has a good plot twist I didn‘t see coming with Daisy
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
Just when I think I finally have a McFadden book figured out…the last few chapters happen!!!!!!😱😱😱
pickLots of twists and turns and surprises! Couldn‘t put it down!
pickLove Freida ! Quick & witty read with a big twist.
pickAll I‘m gonna say is that if you like Freida McFadden‘s intricately woven thrillers, you won‘t be disappointed. I finished it in one sitting.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
