This was my Book of the Month club pick for October. 

The Boyfriend is a dual POV, dual timeline thriller. It alternates between present day Sydney, a woman who is trying to find The One, and past Tom, a teen in the first throes of love. Their lives intertwine in the present day and Sydney begins to wonder if her perfect boyfriend Tom is hiding a big secret!

This was a quick and easy read. It’s an enjoyable thriller with a twist that it took me awhile to see coming. My first Freida McFadden book, but I might give some others a try!



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 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...
