The Perfect Boyfriend

By: S.E. Lynes

Many thanks to Bookouture and NetGalley for the ALC of this book!

Kirsty works at the hospital where she is a midwife. After helping to deliver a baby, she is on her way out when she spots a man. She’s sure she knows him from somewhere! It’s her high school boyfriend, Hughie Reynolds! Though, he just up and left her high and dry one day. But when she approaches him, he tells her she’s mistaken. That he’s not Hughie. Everyone around her believes that she’s just mistaken and just hormonal, after all, she is very pregnant. Then strange things start happening and Kirsty can’t keep her nose out of this man’s business.

I’m not normally an audiobook listener, but a friend told me that this one was really good and to listen to it. So I did. I really enjoyed it! The narrator did such a great job bringing Kirsty to life. I will say that is one of the positives about listening to an audiobook rather than reading the book. The narrator can really bring the characters to life. Kirsty had such a great personality, and she even made me chuckle a few times (especially with the Leona Lewis line!).

Lynes wrote a fantastic thriller. The suspense was brilliantly built up to an explosive ending filled with twists. I listened to it rather quickly, and in less than a day. The cast of characters are great, and there are some twists leading up to the ending as well. This book is a well thought out thriller, leaving nothing open ended.

I haven’t read this author before, but I am now thankful to be introduced and will make sure to read more of their books! Thanks to @msmichelledawn for introducing me to this book and this author!

This will be out on January 6, 2025. You can find the book here.
