Where do I even start with this review? I have been waiting for Tim Mason’s book for years now, having first met and fell in love with him in My Life Next Door. Reckless, charming, charismatic, down on his luck, red-headed Tim Mason. His was a happy ending I wanted more than anything. I definitely built up in my head how I imagined this would go, which is probably where things went wrong. While my rating is a positive one, when I think about The Boy Most Likely To there’s a hole there ...more

Ohhhh that was adorably tragic and I LOVED IT SO MUCH MY HEART HURTS. I was such a fan of Tim when he was a secondary character in My Life Next Door. And honestly??? This book is like 1000% better with it being focused on precious tragic loser Tim and angry snappy heroic Alice. I love them. I will squish them with enthusiasm. Or mabye not, because that would be rude probably.

I waited for this book for what felt like forever, but then when it finally released, I waited another 2 years before reading it. I just knew I would love Tim in this book just based on what we got of him from My Life Next Door. The love story, I felt wasn't as epic as Jase and Sam's but it was still great. I think the issue was that I just couldn't really relate to Alice much. Her POV just lacked something. When I was reading her POV, it didn't really generate much emotion out of me. I almost w

I’ve been waiting almost three years for this book. Since the day I turned the last page in My Life Next Door I had to know more about Tim! I even mentioned it in my review! He was such a big part of MLND and his character was so charismatic I knew that there had to be more to his story. I can’t even tell you how excited I was when I found out that this was something that was going to happen in real life.

I was really excited about diving into the second installment of Huntley Fitzpatrick’s novel My Life Next Door. I remember that book being a perfect summer read that satisfied my YA contemporary craving that never ceases to wane. Unfortunately, The Boy Most Likely To didn’t quite hit the mark for me in so many subtle ways.
Having met Tim Mason and Alice Garrett in the first book, I was looking forward to seeing them get their own installment. I remember Jase’s best friend Tim being a hot mess tha ...more

So ... whoa! This book was not at all what I expected. I did like Boy Most Likely To, but it took me some time to shift my mental gears around and adjust to the loss of the story I thought I was getting and warm up to the one I got. I'll talk about the non-spoilery stuff and then hide the spoilers at the end. Don't read them unless you've read the book. I'm serious!!!!

Yep. That's exactly the way I'd react if Tim would be sitting opposite to me. If I were Brad and gay I'd prolly call him Timmyoyo. Timko. Timasaurous. Timato. Timbo. Blah blah. Annoying, eh?
This is Brad-mode, but I'll get to him later, 'cause first and foremost I'd like to thank Huntley Fitzpatrick for writeting this awesome book. Whoops, sorry, I mean writing. The Boy Most Likely to is about Tin-Alice and Recovering Alcoholic Tim, who fall hard for each other against all odds, falling despite o ...more

This was a YA contemporary story, with a little bit of romance.

This book was just pretty meh to me. There were things I really liked and things I didn’t and it all kind of melded together into a just-okay book. I remember liking the boy next door a lot better, but it’s been a while since I read that! I was just on a contemporary kick and this was there so I went for it buuuuuuut I was kinda disappointed.
I do like the narrative of Tim stepping up to the plate when he’s told he is a father - he is a super dynamic character and I loved seeing him grow. Alice, ...more

You know what's one of the worst feelings ever? Not loving a book that you've been waiting forever for from a favorite author. It's no secret that Huntley Fitzpatrick is an auto-buy author for me as she is for many other readers. Her debut book especially holds a special place on my book shelf. When I found out that she was going to revisit the Garretts and Tim from My Life Next Door, I was eager to get a copy of The Boy Most Likely To. I don't know if it was the high expectations, but The Boy M ...more

This is the highly anticipated follow up to the wonderful My Life Next Door. I loved that book, and most importantly, I loved Tim in that book. He was introduced as a side character, and ended being a total scene-stealer! I was thrilled when I learned that he and Alice were going to get their own book.

Happy to have Tim's story. It wasn't what I thought it was going to be and there were a lot of moments I really enjoyed. However, some of the plot twists and turns didn't quite work out for me. I did enjoy the subject matter of the book and thought it was refreshing to see a main character with a REAL past and real mess ups.

The Boy Most Likely To was not at all the book I expected it to be. Despite not loving Fitzpatrick's debut, I picked up this companion on the sole belief that I adored Tim Mason and Alice Garrett--and I do. Yet, their love story, the trials and tribulations they face throughout this volume, are not what I expected upon cracking open the spine of this novel. Tim is the Boy Most Likely to Fail and this is a burden he carries heavily upon his shoulders. Everyone in his family, from his father to hi

It was a struggle not to read this in one sitting because I so enjoyed being back in this setting with these characters and NEEDED TO KNOW what happened, but I also wanted to savor every minute I spent with them, line by line.
Sharing headspace with Tim and Alice was not easy, in fact, it was utterly heartbreaking at times. But this story is brimming with love, forgiveness, acceptance, and redemption. I laughed, I cried, I swooned, ...more

Things I Am Not Here For When I Read YA (or anything else, but especially YA)
- 90 % of the book being about babies
- A relationship in which one of the kids is underage
Anyway. The writing is fantastic as usual, but the themes sucked, the story was predictable to the very last "twist", nothing gets resolved when it comes to the Garretts and the plot retreads stuff from MLND, pretty much pointlessly (or just to create drama because reasons).

This was such a lovely read. I really warmed to each of the characters. It was so much fun to follow Alice and Tim and to be reunited with so many of the characters from My Life Next Door. I really enjoyed the vast range to subjects this book touched on, so many of which I haven't seen regularly in YA (such as class, teen pregnancy, teen addiction etc.) I also loved that, at the ages of 18 & 19, the main characters were older than the average YA protagonist. It was also really interesting to hav

I liked this book definitly less than the first one. The topics were too serious and most of the people did give me a headache at some point. Such as Grace Reed, Hester, Nan and Brad. Please, leave already! The romance progresses rather slowly compared to the first book but takes off towards the end. Cute, cuter ... Alice & Tim!

Again, so cute! I liked this a bit more than 'My Life Next Door.' Tim and Alice are both such interesting characters, and I love them together. But it was also kinda cool that their relationship wasn't the main focus of this book. So, I'm definitely going to keep reading all these adorable contemporaries by Huntley Fitzpatrick.

“Tim, I’d chew you up and spit you out.” She slants forward, yanks the straps of her bikini behind her neck, ties them, and settles back. God. I almost can’t breathe.
But I can talk.
I can always talk.
“We could progress to that, Alice. But maybe we start with some gentle nibbling?”
Alice shuts her eyes, opens them again, and gives me an indecipherable look.
“Why don’t I scare you?” she asks.
“You do. You’re scary as hell,” I assure her. “But that works for me. Completely.”
