The Boyfriend by Kerry Wilkinson
3.0
We follow Jodie as she searches for the truth about her teenage boyfriend's disappearance. Now a grown woman with a teenage son herself, Jodie struggles with bringing up old hurt or keeping on with her normal life. While the plotline is interesting, I think the suspense part fell flat for me. I was not too thrilled or anxious about the twists and surprises. I did not feel too attached to the characters because they were all monotone. I genuinely liked the premise, but it did not connect throughout the story. The most emotion I felt was at the very end. I felt frustrated and wanted to scream at Jodie for her decisions. Without spoilers, it was a tug-of-war with emotions at the conclusion. Overall, this was entertaining but not a favorite of mine.
