Wow! Kept me guessing until the very end, which is saying a lot for me. I guessed part, but not ALL! It makes me so happy when I can't actually figure every part out while I'm reading. Great characters and development, loved the plot, and the details.

But hey, I STILL wear scrunchies and will die on that hill. They hold my hair back and/or up without breaking it, sooo... WTF, Freida?! 😂 Excellent job! 5 STARS

Frieda does it again! Wow this book was great! I absolutely loved the storyline and really thought I had it figured out -I should have known better! The ending was definitely a surprise. Five stars.

Frieda has done it again! Perfect thriller! Just when I thought I had it figured out, Frieda comes in with a great twist! One of my favorites from Frieda! Highly recommend!

Wow genuinely could not put it down, this book is amazing. I was convinced I had it figured out but of course I didn't. What a rollercoaster of a ride xx

I was so excited to be an ARC reader for The Boyfriend and it did not disappoint! I loved the characters and the story line. It of course has an amazing twist that I did not see coming and had me picking my jaw up off the floor.
I was only disappointed that it took me 5 whole days to get through it. I am a full time working mom of two toddlers and the only time I get to read is at night after my kids are in bed. I found myself trying to squeeze in a chapter of this book every chance I could get. I have no doubt I would have finished it 1-2 days if I took a vacation from work and my children 🤪
You definitely need to read this one friends! Freida McFadden, thank you for the opportunity to read this one early! I truly loved it!

I thought I had this book figured out, but it turns out I didn't. I really like when books can actually give me a surprise twist!!

The twist that happened at the end was done in true Freida fashion!!! I was blindsided by the end of this book with my jaw on the floor!!! The character development throughout the book made you love and hate the same character at different times hahah… 10/10 recommend

Thank you to NetGalley and Poisoned Pen Press for an early release copy of The Boyfriend by Fredia McFadden.

I was debating between giving the boyfriend a 3.5 or 4 star rating but ultimately I decided on going with a 3. I really like the direction that this book went with, I throughly enjoyed Tom’s before chapters, they were my favorite parts to read out of the whole book. I found the way that Tom thinks to be interesting to read about, I liked his character and the way things turned out in general. I did find this book to be a little more heavy with gore which I didn’t mind, nothing is too graphic or descriptive but the matter in which things happen do feel a tad bit darker then an average Fredia McFadden thriller.

There are something’s that stop this from being a four star for me, I couldn’t quite bond with/grow found of Sydney. I didn’t find her to be unbearable necessary though. I wasn't a fan of her thought process at first, it was like she was ignoring every red flag then suddenly half way through the book she’s spotting every red flag. The phone calls with her mother I found to be repetitive to read and extremely pushy.

Freida never disappoints and this book is no exception. This book was a really great suspenseful read that kept you wanting more! The twist at the end really got me. This is one that keeps you guessing whodunnit but trust me just when you think you know you will be shocked! There are several characters that will surprise you and have you changing your mind about your favorites and characters you love that you will dislike by the end!! I definitely recommend this book for anyone that loves a good twist.

I think this is my new favorite Freida book! I thought I had it all figured out, but in true Freida fashion I did not see some of those twist coming. I couldn't put this book down until literally falling asleep because it was so late. I still managed to finish it under 24 hours even though I had to sleep and work. This is definitely a book you don't want to put down!

If I could give this book a 10/10 I would definitely recommend!! There was a creepy side of this book that if you were home alone it makes you notice all of the little sounds around you. Most thrillers now a days I can pretty much figure out immediately. However with The Boyfriend the twist made me go "oh I was wrong". I thought I had it figured out within the first few chapters but then nope. I wish I could reread this book for the first time again.

In regular Frieda fashion, she once again delivers a real page-turner with her new book The Boyfriend.

Sydney attempts to find love online with no luck, and then her best friend is murdered in cold blood - now the police are looking for a suspect who dates women online and then kills them. Sydney quits the online dating game and then meets Mr. Perfect and falls head over heels. But is he really a perfect as he seems? Can he be trusted? Who can she trust?

I couldn't put this book down - and just when you think you know, Frieda throws in those twists that we all love!

Another amazing on the edge of your seat read! Just when you think you have the storyline figured out you are wrong! It keeps you enamored with the past and present lives of each character as the book goes on. Thank you for allowing me to preview this book. I absolutely promise you won’t be disappointed reading this!!

I highly recommend this book!

If you're familiar with Freida McFaddens twists and turns, her very gripping writing and the fact that you can never guess what's coming next then you'll love The Boyfriend - it is no exception.

If you're not yet familiar with her books, this is your sign to pick one up - this one would be an awesome starting point.

I couldn't put this book down, but because life sometimes gets in the way of reading, it was very easy to pick up and put down when I had to.

Absolutely loved it,

Thank you Freida McFadden + Poised Pen Press + Netgalley! Very grateful to have received this book.

Freida did it again! I didn't want to put this book down. She did such a great job with all the twists and turns, kept me guessing the whole time. I would think I had it figured out, then nope. Then I would be like, ok now I'm thinking like Freida, I got it, and wrong again. Plus, I truly loved all the characters they were so well written and had me hooked from the start. Amazing read! Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was probably my favorite book that Freida McFadden has written so far! I loved that she kept me guessing all throughout the book as to who was responsible for the actions that were occurring. You will not be disappointed with this read!!!

This book was SUCH a good read! I could not put it down! Freida has absolutely done it again! Every time I thought I knew, I most definitely did not know! 20/10 recommend as your next read.

The Boyfriend is another in a long line of page turner thrillers by Freida McFadden. Once again she has kept me on the edge of my seat anxious to see the surprises that await. This book does not disappoint when it comes to a jaw dropping shock factor at the end. Finished it in a day because I just could not put it down! It is surely destined to be a best seller.

This book was so fun to read! Just when I thought I figured it out something happens to make you second guess yourself. All of Frieda books that I have read so far have kept me hooked and have been very quick reads for me since I can’t put them down. The Boyfriend was probably one of my favorites so far. Keep up the great writing Freida your definitely in my top favorite authors!

This book was amazing! Freida you did it again! I thought I had half an idea yet again and the twists and turns had me changing my mind and second guessing myself the whole way! And then bam, the pick my jaw up off the floor moment! I absolutely love this new book of yours and how well you can engage ones mind.
