Nice and breezy and pleasant. Also made me appreciate even more how good the film adaptation was.

Lighthearted comedy book about a wealthy young man who has never held a job and a 12 year old boy who is set to stir his life.
Pros: It's a delightful, lighthearted, entertaining story. The plot is not overly complicated, but keeps a good pace and, most importantly, keeps you entertained. Characters are lovable. Despite being a bit of a slow reader, I effortlessly completed majority of the book in two evenings. It just flew so well.
Cons: does not introduce anything innovative and is quite predictable.

I didn't think I'd enjoy this book but I really did. The plot kept me hooked, and bouncing between the two stories was very easy to piece through.
There were too many funny moments to count. I got many strange looks while I giggled my way through it!

This book was just a random one that my roommate picked up. I stole it off his bookshelf and was pleasantly surprised. I thought this book was going to read a lot like The Average American Male, but instead it was like a weird rom-com.
The plot is pretty rom-com. Will joins a single parent’s support group. He then lies about having a kid to get single moms to love him. He then accidentally met a woman and her son through the woman he was mainly lying to. He then creates a unlikely mentor relationship with the son, Marcus. Marcus is that kid that clearly is a loser. His mom won’t let him really do what the other kids are doing and he sings randomly. Will shows Marcus how to be cool while Marcus shows will how to be responsible.
It is really cute and awkward. I loved it! There were whole sections about what it means to be a good adult and how it is possible to survive and do well without really knowing what you are doing. Not knowing what you are doing looks differently for everyone. It also can look like knowing exactly what you are doing to others.
It was a feel good sort of story with a bit of dark story thrown in. Marcus’s mother attempts suicide, then Marcus is left to deal with censoring the world so his mom won’t think about suicide anymore. It is such a touching and real story that really felt right.

Read 2/3 of it while waiting for jury duty. starts off like the movie, but changes a bit, esp at the end. Ellie plays a much larger role, and we can understand why marcus is interested in her. very witty, fun book
