The only reason this isn’t a 5 is because the main character, Sydney, was one of the most obnoxious characters I’ve ever read in a book! She as slated as almost 35 but I would swear she was actually 22. In the end I did feel some sense of pity and sympathy for her though and liked her ending. Having the story go back and forth between her and Tom was so interesting! And  it worked well. Tom was a mysterious character that was hard to crack. Is her a serial killer or is he wildly misunderstood? Guess you’ll have to read it to find out!

🐜 The Boyfriend by Freida McFadden 🐜

MY RATING: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Sydney Shaw has had nothing but bad luck dating in New York—until she meets the perfect man: charming, handsome, and a doctor. But when a string of women are murdered by someone they were dating, Sydney begins to suspect her dream guy might be hiding something deadly. Someone is watching her... and she might be next.

This was good! I listened to the audio and didn’t want to stop. I guessed some of the plot twists but still enjoyed it and wanted to know what would happen next. The men in this book were super creepy and uncomfortable, and I felt a couple of things were kind of disjointed, but overall I enjoyed this and would recommend it for a fast paced thriller! 

Read this if you like: 

• dual timelines and POVs
• creepy dudes
• plot twists 

Vibes: 🔪🐜💇‍♀️👀☕️🚽

Song that matches the vibe: Somebody’s Watching Me by Rockwell
