coralinejones 's review for:

The Boyfriend by Freida McFadden
3.25
  • Freida is not a good writer. She can make a book wildly entertaining, however.
  • This lady handholds her audience entirely too much. There's very little to the imagination with her prose. She quite literally spells everything out for you. 
  • Sydney was annoying as hell. Once again due to Freida's prose, but, how many times did she have to repeat herself over and over. Girl, we get it, you're single. You don't like it. Men don't like this. Men don't like that. Please shut up. 😭
  • The backstory chapters were significantly better than the modern day ones. I wish this was written in Tom's POV only. Maybe Tom and... IYKYK (No spoilers!)
  • This was so Amma Crellin core. Absolutely a book for people who love Sharp Objects but prefer shittier writing!
