The Boy Most Likely To by Huntley Fitzpatrick

4.5

 A much different book than My Life Next Door but I liked it better. It's hard to compare the two because I feel like the first book was a sweet romance story whereas this book is about Tim and Alice and their problems and they just so happen to like each other. They are both such relatable, sympathetic characters. I've never been a teenage alcoholic or pseudo mother to my six younger siblings at 22, but their struggles were easily connected to bigger themes throughout the book. There was a genuine connection between Tim and Alice and I thought it was one of the most realistic portrayals of the beginning of a relationship that I have ever read. You see the effort they put into making it work, you see their failures and where they have to grow. It was such an unexpectedly touching book.
