Lidt tanker: Personerne i den her bog er så FUCKING dumme at det burde være ulovligt. Plothullerne var så store at man FALDT i dem. Twistet var sick, but at what bekostning??? For resten af handlingen hænger så på ingen måde sammen desværre. Reeeeen chokfaktor, men så fucking langt ude. Og PRØV at gør det mere åbenlyst?? I dare u. Alle de ledetråde er alt for excessive og jeg er ellers ikke kræsen. Standhaftig men ekstremt skuffet Freida fan som har svært ved at forsvare det her længere.

🐜 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!

This is my 4th Freida McFadden book, and I had high hopes for it, considering the previous three were 5-star reads for me. Unfortunately, it fell a little flat. It just felt underwhelming. It didn't really surprise me that much, the ending wasn't really satisfying, and the FMC was annoyingly dumb and obtuse at times. It was necessarily bad, it just wasn't what I've come to expect from Freida McFadden.
