The Boyfriend by Kerry Wilkinson
1.0
Jodie is clearing out the attic of her father’s house after he has passed away and stumbles across the old T-shirt her boyfriend Ben was wearing the day he disappeared 19 years ago.
Ben went missing when they were just teenagers. His parents still stare out the window desperately waiting for him to come home. So how did the T-shirt he was wearing when Jodie saw him walk away from their last date end up in her father’s attic? How can this be and how will this t-shirt and the events that follow put her own son Owen in danger??
Unpopular Opinion but…..nope…. Big Nope!!
I made it to 24% before this book did me in. The sheer amount of times Jodie’s name is used in the first chapter approx. 50 and 1200+ in this 300 pages book, is utterly ridiculous. It was a play by play of the events going on and there was so much unnecessary detail it became painful.
I did my best and i skimmed through the book and found out the killer and what happened in the end and truly I don’t feel like I missed anything because in the first 6 chapters alone there was enough detail about peoples clothing, squeaking shoes, the mention of ‘My Dad’ and who can forget the name Jodie that I didn't need more.
I want to thank Bookoture, NetGalley and the author for the opportunity to preview this book prior to release for my honest opinion. Unfortunately this was not for me at all and it was an incomplete read for me.
