The Boyfriend by Kerry Wilkinson
2.0
Thank you @NetGalley and Kerry Wilkinson for an ARC of this book in an exchange for an honest review.
WHAT I LIKED:
This book held a lot of secrets and a lot of drama, which caused you to question every character you met. Each character was defined with their own personality really well also.
WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE:
I did not enjoy the way this was written. I found there were a lot of loose ends, such as her Sister in Law starting drama (that type of drama just doesn't go away). I also didn't like how the main character was written as a mom, like she could clearly care less about what her kid does and only wanted to drink wine with her friend.. This kind of irritated me and made me not like the main character as much. The ending, and finding out who her boyfriends killer was (two different scenarios btw, no spoilers), was horrible. The build up to the discovery wasn't big enough and just flatlined when the other scenario then took precedence.
OVERALL / RECOMMENDATION:
This was not a book I particularly enjoyed. I will never tell readers not to read a book, as everyone has different tastes and different opinions. This, however, was not for me. If someone is interested in reading this book, I will suggest it to readers who enjoy a twisted thriller.
