The Boy Most Likely To by Huntley Fitzpatrick



What I love about Huntley Fitzpatrick's books is that they are REAL. In The Boy Most Likely To, Fitzpatrick is unafraid to delve into the nitty gritty, which is to be expected coming from Tim, a recovering alcoholic/junkie. I'm not sure anyone would expect anything sweet and fluffy like the first book.

The subject of this book is a little mature and the twists throughout this book are definitely unexpected. I really enjoyed the relationships between everyone and the interactions of the Garrett family. The writing is smooth (although I disliked how Alice's POV was bolded... like really?) and the storyline engaging.

Now I'll just point out the little tidbits that could have made my experience better if adjusted. I found myself skimming this book quite a lot so maybe if some extraneous details were cut out, I would have been fully immersed. I also found the romance really quick (in terms of the first "I love you" and their first intercourse) but of course, the romance was sweet and I love how they found themselves in each other. Also, although Tim's really boy-ish POV was authentic, I was squirming a little at some of the stuff he said. I guess it makes this book more real, but as a "pussy" (as he so mentions many times), I couldn't take that much language.

Overall, it's very different from the first but still just as amazing. This book definitely deserves higher ratings!
