That Boy by Jillian Dodd
4.0

THAT BOY made me laugh out loud so much. I really enjoyed getting to know the characters as they grew up. I also thought Dodd did a great job at writing Philip, Danny, and JJ in the right maturity mindsets throughout. (The book starts when they are in 4th grade and works it's way past college graduation)

It also touches upon some more serious issues and got really sad at parts. Dodd did a great job at mixing the depressing parts with slivers of light and hope for the future.

I was utterly surprised at how much I liked this book. Eagerly looking forward to #2.
