About this listen

From the bestselling author of The Girlfriend, now a number one Amazon Original series.

'A thriller that will have you gripped' - Closer

He loves you.
He loves you not.


Amy is fiercely independent, with a high-powered career, a flat of her own and tight-knit friendships. But as she approaches her thirtieth birthday, she can’t help but rue the one thing she doesn’t have – a relationship.

When Amy comes around following a serious fall, she doesn’t remember anything from the last six months. Not even the upcoming skiing holiday at her aunt’s luxurious chalet in Val d’Isère with her mum and best friends to celebrate her birthday. And she certainly doesn’t remember being swept off her feet by the handsome Dr Jack Stewart . . .

Jack is the full package – charming, caring and devoted to Amy. Everyone is smitten with him, but as the week goes on, Amy begins to find Jack’s presence chilling. Is her broken mind playing tricks? Or is the perfect boyfriend really too good to be true?

For fans of The Chalet and The Hunting Party, The Boyfriend is a twisting anti-love story that will keep you guessing with every page, by Michelle Frances, author of the number one bestselling sensation The Girlfriend.

Critic reviews

A brilliant thriller
A thriller that will have you gripped
There’s something more sinister than sibling rivalry lurking in Sisters and I tore through the pages, desperate to discover the terrible secret that separates Abby and Ellie. This high-speed chase of a novel is a perfect summer read (Louise Candlish on Sisters)
Terrific . . . Twisted, fraught with suspense, a proper summer page-turner (Jo Spain on Sisters)
Toxic family relationships, sultry European settings and an intricate plot which leaves you never knowing who to trust - an ideal read for the beach (Catherine Cooper, author of The Chalet, on Sisters)
Fans of BBC drama The Replacement will lap up this taut and suspenseful tale (Heat on The Temp)
I was blown away. The Girlfriend is the most marvellous psychological thriller . . . I couldn’t put it down and kept sneaking upstairs to read another few pages . . . Michelle Frances is a writer we’re going to hear a great deal about. Please read this genuinely exciting novel (Jilly Cooper)
Michelle Frances manages to bring fresh energy to this age-old theme of sibling rivalry and family secrets . . . The finale doesn't disappoint

I was disappointed with this story after loving ‘The Girlfriend ‘ and ‘The Temp’. It was rather long and drawn out and I’m hoping it doesn’t go into a book 2 ! It just didn’t get exciting enough for me but the narrator was brilliant.

This story had the potential of being gripping and suspenseful but ended up being contrived and weak. The plot was predictable and some of the characters including the protagonist, were grey.

Underwhelming

I was fascinated by the characters and the plot! I would definitely recommend this book even if you are not a Michelle France's fan. Once read never forgotten and the door opens to the rest of the series.😋

The author is one of my favourite writers of contemporary fiction. Alas, this was not in the same league as her previous books. There were holes (relating to basic technology i.e google) in the plot and it took a while to move. It was as though we were stuck in the chalet along with the characters.
Overall I enjoyed it.
Her other books “The Girlfriend” and “The Temp” are by far superior. I recommend them highly.

Not as good as her other books
