One of the things I love most about reading thrillers is the thrill of guessing what will happen next—the suspense of the plot twist. The Boyfriend completely satisfied this craving, as I had no idea what was coming. I kept guessing and second-guessing, only to find out I was wrong every time. That unpredictability is what I love most about thrillers—the way they keep readers on edge, never knowing when or how events will unfold.

I give this book a perfect 5 stars because it hooked me so thoroughly that I finished it in a single day. While the ending might not be satisfying for everyone, I appreciated how it left room for interpretation, giving the reader something to ponder. Having already gotten used to McFadden’s writing style, with its chapters jumping between the present and the past, I found it easy to follow and thoroughly enjoyable.
