The Boyfriend by Freida McFadden
2.75
challenging dark sad tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Why, I find myself asking, is every main character I read from this author so obnoxious? 

Sydney, girl, GET A GRIP. Or maybe just a clue. There were so many things that she wrote off as "coincidences" that were NOT coincidental. 

Also, this is the second time a Frieda twist hasn't surprised me. I'm not sure why everyone was so shocked by this one, because I had it nailed down. 

The thing I didn't get correct was about Slug, but for the sake of spoilers I won't say what I thought or what was true. 

Omg, the ending of this was.... a lot and very very rushed. The epilogue served to show that Sydney remains a moron.

Let's make our main characters not stupid, please 🙏🏻... That is all.
