Thank you Freida and net galley for the copy of the boyfriend.

I am a huge Freida reader and this is one of her bests! I need a sequel!

I was drawn in from the first page. Sydney and her friends are using a popular dating app to meet guys. But is it safe? When one of them is murdered Sydney is determined to find out who did it. If you're like me then you will absolutely think you have it figured out. Even though I was thoroughly enjoying the book I was patting myself on the back because I knew who would be revealed as the killer. I was SO wrong!! I can really see this book having a sequel and I really hope it does. I see more in Sydney's future.

It had a good twist that I didn't see coming because I was distracted with my own theories.



SPOILER



I thought that Tom was actually Slug, and that Slug stole his identity OR that Slug was Randy. I was wrong. I didn't like being wrong, but I liked the twist. However, I didn't like the ending. I honestly expected more of Tom.

Thrilling, chilling, whodunit, with twists and turns you do not see coming. And I mean you DO NOT see coming! Freida will keep you on the literal edge of your seat. Get ready for a wild ride!

This one was an ARC from @fmcfaddenauthor and @poisonedpenpress I gave this one 4⭐️I guessed one of the twists but the other one I didn’t see at all. I tried really hard this whole book to “think like Freida” and I still couldn’t guess it all! This one was really good. Would definitely recommend

Freida did it again! If you think you know what is going to happen you probably do not! I love her books because they are easy to read, they keep you guessing, and I can usually finish them in one or two sittings. She does not disappoint!
Thank you Netgalley and Poisoned Pen Press for the digital ARC!

Freida McFadden delivers again with "The Boyfriend"! This thriller is a page-turner that I couldn't put down. Perfect if you need a reason to glue yourself to a comfy chair for the evening. The plot twists are classic McFadden – you'll be guessing until the very end. ( You don't have it figured out ) If you like suspense and a fast-paced story, "The Boyfriend" is a great choice!

Wow.. first off, thank you NetGalley for an advanced readers copy and the opportunity to read this book before it’s released!

I read this book in one day, it was THAT good. I couldn’t put it down. The infamous Freida “twist” in The Boyfriend had my jaw on the floor! I didn’t see it coming. It was incredibly engaging and had me guessing until the very end. I found myself attached to the characters, excited to know how their story would end. Freida has done it again, of course. Dare I say, one of her best? I can’t recommend this book enough!!

I was lucky enough to be selected as an ARC reader for Frieda McFaddens, The Boyfriend.
To say I really enjoyed this book is an understatement. I, for the life of me, just cannot figure out how this author bests me every time. Just when I think I have gotten it figured out. Nope, in comes Frieda with a bomb of a plot twist. I was captivated right from the beginning of this book. True love, mystery, murder, mystery. What will they choose true love or what's right? Go read this book now!!!!!!!

Absolutely amazing! I could barely put it down. I loved the twist and was absolutely blown away by the ending. I think this is my favorite book yet!

I was so fortunate to receive an ARC copy of this to read. As a huge Freida fan, it was truly exceptional! I've read tons of Freida books, and I always think (even knowing how FM writes) that I have it figured out, but she has this way of twisting that is like no other. Expect the unexpected - and it was, the twist at the end had my jaw on the ground. She has a way to pull you in and not want to put the book down! I'd say this might be one of my favourite Freida books. Thank you to netgalley, poisonedpenpress and Freida McFadden it was a 10/10 in my books!

She does it again!!! Just when I think I’ve got it all figured out …. Nope . Wrong again!!! Thank you for the opportunity for this ARC!!

I LOVED this book! Freida’s books always capture me and I never want to put them down. This book, in my opinion, was written a little differently. It felt like it read a bit more sophisticatedly than her others that I have read and I really enjoyed it. It started out a bit slow, but it all built up to the climax. Every time I thought I knew the twist, I was wrong and I was so shocked when the twist was revealed. You won’t regret reading this book. It is so good!

In my top favorite Freida books! Per usual Freida style I thought I had it figured out but of course I did not! 5 star for me hands down

This was phenomenal! The story was so good and kept me guessing the whole way through. I was almost sure I had it figured out until the last 50 pages or so and Freida does it again with the riveting twists and thrilling suspense. I was on the edge of my seat from the beginning to end. A true page turner! I had so many theories not one was correct.

I loved the story like and the twists. It was captivating and kept me guessing because you want to think it’s the obvious scenario but nope! 10/10 very much enjoyed this book.

📚 ARC Book Review 📚
The Boyfriend by Freida McFadden
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Freida has always been one of my top three favorite authors and I've got to admit she never lets me down with her books! There are very few left I need to read though ☺️

I had the chance to read The Boyfriend and I was far from disappointed, I was thrown around so many times, I tried to get to the end and figure it out before I finished and I really thought I did 🤦🏻‍♀️ But I've finally given up with Freida's books! I can't stand a chance! This book was way out of my league and I was tossed for a long run 🤣

In the end, Freida did a great job writing this book, making the character develops into who they became in the end, and the plot twist was freaking phenomenal 🤯 I never ever saw that coming at all.

"And l'm terrified that the moment I get her alone, I will wrap my fingers around her pretty, white neck and squeeze the life out of her."

I thought I finally correctly guessed a Freida plot twist before the big reveal…. but I definitely did not and that’s why I love her books!

This is another quick, enthralling read full of thrills and plot twists you never see coming from the queen, although I didn’t enjoy it nearly as much as some of her others. It was still entertaining and I finished w/in days. I’ll always love her short, easy to read chapters and really enjoyed the dual POVs/timelines in this one where the stories start to slowly weave together into the present day truth.

Thank you so much to Freida, Poisoned Pen, NetGalley for the early copy! It’s always an honor to early read for Freida!
