The Case of the Missing Boyfriend by Nick Alexander

3.0

Review:

This one’s been sat on my Kindle for ages, and I’ve kept on putting it aside in favour of more interesting sounding titles. However, I’ve recently decided to clear out my TBR pile, and this was one of the first to go. I’m going to admit, I went in expecting trashy chick-lit – almost a palate cleanser to all the YA and paranormal romance I’ve been reading recently. However, this was a lot darker than I was expecting.

This book has some seriously adult themes, including depression, death and drug taking (though, not generally mixed together). Those who aren’t comfortable with homosexuality should also avoid this one – as a lot of CC’s (the main character) friends are gay.

In general, I actually really enjoyed this book. Admittedly, it took me a while to get into, but despite being almost double my age, I felt like I could relate to her. Especially with being the single one amongst attached friends! I felt that this was a credit to the author’s writing, given aside that we had very little in common.

Basically, I’m not going into a ridiculous amount of detail, but this one was a nice filler, but not as light and fluffy as other books within the genre – though for me, that was probably a good thing!

Good read, and a bargain on Kindle!
