That Boy by Jillian Dodd
1.0
Whew. That was... something. It was like a Junie B. Jones book grew up (slightly) and tried to be a romance but still couldn't talk about boy parts and girl parts and the love hug parents do to make baby people.
What the actual fuck was this book even?
So a couple of days ago I got stuck for a few hours in a place without a book. No problemo I'll just go see what looks good and free in prime reading. Obviously nothing but this had eleventy million good reviews on Amazon. Eleventy. Million.
WTF Amazon users.
I would have given up on this at the halfway point but today I again found myself in a waiting room for hours with only an issue Sports Illustrated from 2007 and this book on my phone.
I should have read the magazine. Repeatedly.
I hate everyone and everything in this book. Except the world building because there was none. There was dialogue and inner monologue and absolutely not one shred of setting.
