🐜 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!
