Why read it?
1 author picked The Boyfriend as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I loved being immersed in this story, where I could potentially be the protagonist myself and walk in her shoes. The book grabbed me from the start, as I felt the pain and pleasure of the protagonist’s life situation. The imagery was vivid, and the characters' dialogue was very believable.

From Mary's list on fragility of life in mystery, romance, intrigue.
