About a Boy by Nick Hornby
3.0

Will is the cool guy. He's rich off of his inheritance and doesn't work. He finds ways to fill his time. He's not expecting to find an accidental family when Marcus shows up. 12 year old Marcus is awkward and lives with his depressed mom. Will finds himself increasingly drug into Marcus's circle and finds that maybe he was missing something in his life other than his next girlfriend.

I was drawn to this one because I saw the move ages ago and thought it was pretty good. The book was good, not great. It was a bit of a mindless read, but might not have been as much if I hadn't see the movie first.
