That Boy
by Jillian Dodd
This was a mix for me. I loved the story, but some of it felt really forced, like J having casual hookups in college. It didn't seem to fit the girl I created in my head. That could just be me, though!
Something that I found to be not my taste, but at the same time so creative, was writing in the perspective of J at various ages and having the writing style match her maturity. Like when J was in elementary school, it was a little hard for me to read at times because of how simple it was, but that was the point! As the story went in and J got older, her voice matured as well. I think it's a really creative way to tell the story, but it was a struggle for me in the beginning.
By the end, I loved all the characters and definitely see myself diving into the rest of the series. I just didn't love it enough to push my TBR to the side.
