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!
I love the twists and turns. This book took me on the roller coaster ride I hoped for. The Boyfriend brought me into Sydney’s would and her dating life.. I enjoyed every minute of it. I would highly recommend this book. Thank you @poisenedpenpress for the ARC!
Freida McFadden has done it again! I won the giveaway deal on NetGalley and she has flabbergasted me once again and left me with my jaw hung open. This was a gripping and addictive read. I guess you can say this book was unbecredifabulous!
Absolutely loved this book! Related to the main character in so many ways being the same age and single. 😆 Freida has done it again, to no surprise!! This book had me on the edge of my seat and I couldn’t put it down! Not to mention all the twists. Just when I thought I had it figured out…BAM! I was wrong! Shoutout to Freida and Poisoned Press for the early read. If you haven’t already pre-ordered this book, DO IT NOW! Or be waiting for the stores to open on October 1!!
Freida does I again! Another amazing read that keeps you guessing. Just when you think you have it all figured out she’s leaves you with your jaw dropping. One of her best books yet!
As always, Freida has me guessing through the whole book. I thought I knew the twist, but I was wrong. Can’t wait to read the next one!
All of Freida’s books are so captivating and this one was no different! From the very beginning, I was unable to put the book down because I needed answers. Of course I never saw the twists coming!
Such a fun read! In true Freida fashion- I thought I had it figured out but I was completely wrong! I loved the 2 story lines from different time periods and how they came together at the end to finish the story! Thanks for the advanced copy!
Wow! So many twists and turns! This book kept me on my toes. I ate it up. My only regret is that I don't have any other Freida books left that I haven't read yet!
Character development was great, and everything was brought together in a way I didn't expect. Probably one of my favorite books by her yet.
Readers of her books will notice at least one easter egg.
And as a woman in her 40s who still wears scrunchies, I'm a little offended 😂🤫🤭jk
If you are looking for a spooky season read then look no further. This story is so captivating it will have you wanting to throw your kindle across the living room. Please don’t do that though. Sydney is trying to find love in New York. Tom is charming and caring, everything a girl could want in a man. I loved this book because it tells a back story of the characters and absolutely sucked me in on page one.
This was such an engaging read. I was hooked until the very end because of the book going from the pat to the present. I did not guess the ending at all because of a major twist. I highly suggest this book for anyone who wants a twisty mystery.
I have never been so excited to receive an ARC, and it did not disappoint. Freida has done it again. This book is “unbecredifabulous”…iykyk! Thanks to Netgalley, Posion Press and the incredible Freida McFaddden.
I want to thank NetGalley and Poisoned Pen Press for this ARC!
At first, I felt this book was very slow, normally by the first chapter I am hooked, unfortunately, it took a little while. But once I hit chapter 10 🤯🤯 this book came to a turn and I couldn't stop! Freida has done it again! And I can't wait to have the physical copy to keep with my whole collection!!! This was just soooo good!!
I was able to receive an ARC copy of the book on Labor Day and quickly devoured it the following day. The book easily made my top 3 favorite Freida books list! Why top 3? because I can't decide which of the top 3 is my absolute favorite. The Inmate/Never Lie/The Boyfriend...UGH, they are all equally as great in my opinion
SO, once again, just when you think you've got it all figured out....
Frieda hits you with the twist you NEVER saw coming...and the twist after that...and the twist after that!
The storyline follows two different POV's in two different timelines. Present day Sydney, who is in her mid 30's has jumped into the dating scene though an app called Cynch. While her close friend Bonnie seems to have found the perfect guy through the same dating app. Sydney finds herself in a series of failed dates UNTIL she feels she has found THE ONE. He is everything she is looking for in a man. Charming, handsome AND a doctor! but after several months of dating and a new serial killer on the loose, Sydney begins to feel like her dream man may not be all that he seems...
Tom (Past Day) is the second POV, who is a boy in high school that has his heart set out on one day becoming a surgeon (due to his fascination with the human body)...and yup, you guessed it...BLOOD. Tom falls madly in love with a girl named Daisy but after several girls in the neighborhood turn up missing, Daisy's father (chief of police) points Tom, to be suspect number one.
This book had me turning pages until 2 am lol I just could NOT put it down! I highly recommend picking this one up on release day (October 1st 2024). I for one, will be waiting in line to pick up my copy! Thanks again to Poisoned Pen Press and Freida for the advanced readers copy!
Thriller readers are sure to be delighted by the upcoming release of The Boyfriend by Freida McFadden! In true Freida fashion, this book will keep you guessing until the very end! The alternating character perspectives and alternating timelines hooked me early on and kept me turning the pages to find out what happened next.
5/5 ⭐️ Make sure to add this book to your fall TBR!
Thank you to Freida McFadden and Poisoned Pen Press for the opportunity to review this title!
Another home run for Freida! Tons of unsuspecting twists, and there's a super good one at the end! I love her short chapters too!
WOW! When you have an author like Freida, you NEVER know what to expect. I had about 7 different theories by chapter 10, the wheels were turning, and yet, here I am… stunned into silence yet again, jaw sitting on the floor. Just when you THINK you have it figured out…. There’s always a left turn! And I LOVE it!
Thank you Poisoned Pen Press and Freida McFadden for the e-ARC of The Boyfriend. I wish I could turn back time and read it all over again!
