The Boy Most Likely To by Huntley Fitzpatrick || BOOK REVIEW


Tim Mason was The Boy Most Likely To:
- find the liquor cabinet blindfolded
- need a liver transplant
- drive his car into a house

 Alice Garrett was The Girl Most Likely To:
- well, not date her little brother’s baggage-burdened best friend, for starters.

 For Tim, it wouldn’t be smart to fall for Alice. For Alice, nothing could be scarier than falling for Tim. But Tim has never been known for making the smart choice, and Alice is starting to wonder if the “smart” choice is always the right one. When these two crash into each other, they crash hard. 

 Then the unexpected consequences of Tim’s wild days come back to shock him. He finds himself in a situation that isn’t all it appears to be, that he never could have predicted . . . but maybe should have.

 And Alice is caught in the middle. 

 Told in Tim’s and Alice’s distinctive, disarming, entirely compelling voices, this return to the world of My Life Next Door is a story about failing first, trying again, and having to decide whether to risk it all once more.

    Just. Couldn't. Get. Through. It. I don't know if it's because of my age and I'm just too old for this particular book, or if I would have liked it better if I had read the companion before this book- My Life Next Door. This book is considered YA and I do prefer more mature romances. So, unfortunately, I just couldn't force myself to read the whole thing. 
     I also expected a light and fun romance, the cover really enforced this thought. I mean, I know you're not supposed to judge a book by it's cover, but the cover of this book just made me think of light, airy, cutesy romance. In actuality though, from what I read, it's just more angsty than I would have first thought.
     Since I've never read anything else from Huntley Fitzpatrick, I had nothing to compare this novel to and had no expectations. Which can be both a good and bad thing. Good, because I didn't have any hopes on what this book would be as I guess the main couple from this book is mentioned in the previous companion novel- and bad because I just wasn't a huge fan of the book and I read it as essentially a stand-alone. I don't know, maybe if I was fifteen I would have liked it more. 


Ratings 
2/5 stars 
Did I like the ending?  
Didn't read it, I couldn't get through the whole book. :(
Would I read again?  
Uh, no.
Would I recommend?  
Like I said above, I think that if I was a younger teen I would have ate this book up. I'd recommend you try it out.


Later gators,
