The Boyfriend

I'm sorry but this was one of the most annoyingly dumb characters I've ever read. I couldn't stomach it, I was just angry or stressed the whole time, finally had to DNF it.
It got 2 stars instead of 1, because I think it could have been a great book if the main character wasn't so stupid. Or if the reader was told she had a proper disability, so that the situation with the abuse becomes more sad and sinister, rather than stressful and anxiety inducing.

Scene: Described well, I enjoyed the setting and it was well worded but not too over complicated. A handful of places put simply, so we can concentrate on the story and characters. Standard Freida. ****
Characters: Unreliable, messy, complicated and so real. I love the different narratives, this is so realistic. *****
Story: Being gaslit by Freida McFadden might be my new favourite pass time. *****
Recommend?: Yes, Freida all day!

This ended up being the worst Freida book I’ve read so far. Did the story move along in a somewhat satisfying way? Yeah. But the endings, the final reveal… just awful. There’s no way for me to complain about this book without spoiling it, but honestly, it’s terrible.
