That Boy by Jillian Dodd

5.0

This is the book that got me hooked on the friends-to-lovers trope. Jillian eloquently writes this story. It's so beautiful, yet there are also heartbreaking moments. She really makes you feel. I love that this story is told via a timeline in chronological order. I thought that was genius for really helping the readers be able to relate and connect with the character. I really felt like I was growing up with JJ, Philip, and Danny. I was bamboozled when I was reading this, I totally thought I had it pegged who JJ was going to end up with, though I'm a bit sad it didn't work out for them I am happy that she ended up with who she did, there really was no other option. Her proposal was something that girls dream about. I am begging you guys to read this, it's so amazing it's hard for me to articulate all my thoughts about this. There were sweet and tender moments, funny moments, I'm going to rip out my hair moments, I want to cry forever moments, whatever you can think of, it's likely in there.
