_toristhoughts_ 's review for:
That Boy
by Jillian Dodd
This was almost as good as I remember :)
cw: death, grief
I read this book back in early high school and I absolutely loved it. I remember this was one series that I did a reread of almost immediately after I finished it (at the time I think only the first three were out tho?).
I still think this story was adorable and I really liked it, but the writing felt kind of juvenile. I loved JJ and Phillip and Danny, and I loved how the story went through their history from elementary school all the way thru college. This may be part of the reason it felt juvenile, but you can kinda see that the writing changes the older JJ gets and the closer to the end the story gets.
overall, I loved this. I love friends to lovers stories and this one was not only that, but it was boy next door, CHILDHOOD friends to lovers. it was so incredibly sweet and I was hooked from the start.
