The Boy You Always Wanted by Michelle Quach

4.0

After loving Michelle's debut, I had high hopes for this book and it did not disappoint! Once again, I loved Michelle's writing style and found that the dual POVs added a lot of dimension to the plot. We got a wide range of intriguing characters that grabbed my attention immediately. Each of the side characters had their own stories and personalities and created a great community for the book to be set in. I'd have to say that my favourite character was Francine. I loved reading about her journey toward discovering who she really was and what was important to her. I was also rooting for Ollie and Francine from the beginning. The romance was very well-paced and had all the heartwarming vibes! While it does feature an adorable romance, The Boy You Always Wanted also explores heavy topics like family expectations, health struggles, and self-love. This range of topics created a multi-dimensional reading experience.

With a focus on family and self-discovery, plus an adorable romance, you have to add The Boy You Always Wanted to your tbr! I cannot wait to read more of Michelle's work in the future.
