1.1.2025 - The Perfect Boyfriend

Many thanks to NetGalley, Bookouture and Bookouture Audio for gifting me both a digital and audio ARC of the latest by S.E. Lynes, with the audio perfectly narrated by Tamsin Kennard.  All opinions expressed in this review are my own – 4 stars!

 

Kirsty is happily married and pregnant, working as a midwife.  At the hospital one day, she runs into a man she instantly recognizes as Hughie, her former boyfriend who disappeared years ago.  But the man insists she is mistaken.  

 

Told from both Kirsty and Hughie’s POV through a documentary, as well as from the past so that the reader gets both sides of the story.  I liked the past glimpses – the characters felt like real teenagers, and you could feel the angst.  This is a twisty one that had me gasping at one point – didn’t see that coming, although not sure it necessarily needed to be a big surprise?  Loved the accents and thought the narration was perfect.  As always with SE Lynes’ books, this was a well-written psychological thriller that will keep you guessing.
