Good, but too easy

This book was good. I love Frieda McFadden's writing. I've heard she is our Stephen King of this generation (I am Gen Z).The reason this wasn't a five star read for me was due to the pacing of the book. All of Frieda's books are typically fast paced and I would say this one kept me hooked the whole time I was reading it. It wasn't necessarily that pacing-wise. It was more so that the details occurring throughout the story were kind of bland to me and the big reveal occurred in like the very last 30-60 pages of the book. Which is fine. I think she's done similar in other books which has worked

Great book but damage pages

It’s a great read! 5 stars for the book. But, I’m finally getting to this book on my TBR!! I’m too late to make a return when I realize there are several damage pages.

Great reading! I couldn't put it down. I really enjoy her stories.

I like that she keeps you not sure until the end. I get hooked at the beginning and want to read it without stopping.

LOVED IT

📚 The Boyfriend by Freida McFaddenFreida McFadden did it AGAIN! 😩👏🏾 I absolutely loved The Boyfriend! This book had me suspicious of EVERYBODY. 😂 Every time I thought I had things figured out, something happened that made me question everything all over again.The twists, secrets, lies, and suspense kept me turning the pages because I HAD to know what was really going on. And that ending?! 🤯 I definitely wasn’t prepared!If you love psychological thrillers with short, addictive chapters, questionable characters, and twists that keep you guessing, PICK THIS ONE UP!

What a Twist!?!?!

🛑SPOLIERS🛑⭐️: 3.75/5WHAT A RIDE...This is the first book I have read by Freida McFadden. I know she is a huge thriller author and I wanted to read a book by her.This book I came across while looking for good thrillers. Also, it is heavily recommended on TikTok.I decided to read and I can say I slightly enjoyed it.The book started off slow and then fast and then and then fast. The whole dynamic because Syd and Tom from the beginning was strange. I didnt understand what was going through her head half of the time.It was like I was trying to find out who every character was ans I couldn't. Then
