The Boy Most Likely To by Huntley Fitzpatrick

The narration switches back-and-forth from Tim to Alice, but I feel like her story could have easily been told through Tim and the book would have been stronger if it was. I liked that Alice had a mini-journey (internally) to go on, but I didn't really think she needed to be a narrator in this book. But since I can talk about Alice & Tim, I will. That is a side thing going on while this big LIFE thing is happening with Tim. Tim and Alice are cute, of course, but this book isn't actually about that. but I think telling you would be a spoiler :( It's not mentioned in the synopsis, so I guess I can't go there, which basically sucks all the TALK out of my review.

I wish, wish, wish I could talk more about what this book is about!! I mean the entire book is really about this one giant thing that happens to Tim. I loved how they're not only there for their own, but they manage to give as much to friends like Tim and Sam as well. How can you not love these people? As much as I could NEVER handle a family that large, it still warms my heart to read about such a close-knit, honest, chaotic family. I mean, there's Jase with his hotness, Andi with her TMI, awkward, excessive questions, George with all his random facts and fears, and Patsy and her adorable Tim obsession. I was SO excited to get right back into the Garrett family. Not many authors can make me feel like that. There's just something about the way she tells stories, that I feel like I'm right there in the scenes. Huntley Fitzpatrick writes books that make me feel like I'm not even reading. Then Tim's road to staying sober gets majorly tested when something from the past comes back to haunt him. But there's something about Tim that makes her want to put herself out there. She's been perfectly content going through a stream of guys who let her walk all over them. He knows falling for Alice will most likely end badly for him, but when did that ever stop him before? Alice can't believe she might actually like her younger brother's friend. Now that he's living in the Garrett's garage apartment, it puts him in close proximity to Alice. But that doesn't mean he's ready to forgive himself for all those mistakes.

He's in AA, studying for his GED, and getting away from his toxic family.

Tim, the boy who only knows how to be a screw up, is trying hard to turn it around.
