The Boyfriend

By: Freida McFadden

I have seen some great reviews for this book and some not so good ones, but I really enjoyed this book! Sydney has bad luck dating in New York City and she uses a dating app called Cynch. She goes on a terrible date and needs to be saved by a mystery man. Months later, she runs into mystery man again, and he’s perfect for her. Mystery man is a doctor; he’s smart and sweet, a true gentleman. There is a brutal murder of one of Sydney’s friends, and she learns that it’s a serial killer. She starts to notice things about her boyfriend that seem suspicious. Will Sydney be the next victim?

I thought McFadden hit it out of the park with this book! When the book started with the two different points of view in the two different time periods, I was already trying to make the connection of how they were going to come together. And I correctly put that together. However, there were a few major twists that I didn’t see coming at all. Maybe I don’t pick up clues well, or maybe I’m just not that astute, but I am never to pick out the twists that others seem to think are predictable.

I loved the darker storyline in this book, but I have been finding myself starting to read books with a little bit of darker storylines this year. The epilogue was fantastic, I didn’t see that coming either, but I liked it!!! I can’t say more than that because I don’t want to give anything away!!!!

Those that enjoy McFadden’s books will not be disappointed!
