Media Mania: The Boyfriend by Freida McFadden

So, I said I would review this book, it's the first book by Freida McFadden I've read.

 

She's looking for the perfect man. He's looking for the perfect victim.

Sydney Shaw, like every single woman in New York, has terrible luck with dating. She’s seen it all: men who lie in their dating profile, men who stick her with the dinner bill, and worst of all, men who can't shut up about their mothers. But finally, she hits the jackpot.

Her new boyfriend is utterly perfect. He's charming, handsome, and works as a doctor at a local hospital. Sydney is swept off her feet.

Then the brutal murder of a young woman―the latest in a string of deaths across the coast―confounds police. The primary suspect? A mystery man who dates his victims before he kills them.

Sydney should feel safe. After all, she is dating the guy of her dreams. But she can’t shake her own suspicions that the perfect man may not be as perfect as he seems. Because someone is watching her every move, and if she doesn’t get to the truth, she’ll be the killer’s next victim...

A dark story about obsession and the things we’ll do for love, #1 New York Times bestselling author Freida McFadden proves that crimes of passion are often the bloodiest…

Okay, so for me this was not the amazing book I was prepared to read by all the hype. I will say it was good because of it's twist. I was floored at the end but also left feeling like I was was robbed.

I don't want to give away spoilers! First off I could not stand Sydney, to me she lacks basic common sense and it's hard to love a book when you don't the the main caharacter.

The going back in time to when Tom was young chapters annoyed me also, I know that had to for the story to unfold.

It may not have been for me but I know so many out there love this author and this book. I may give one of her other books a try because the written is good and the storyline did many twists!

For those reason I give this book 3 out of 5 drinks.
