Title: That Boy
Author: Jillian Dodd
Publisher: self-publish (2011)

The
cover of this book is so simple; I fell in love with it even before I even read
the synopsis. To be honest, I always choose a book by its cover. I mean, if the
cover is pretty enough, it looks like the publisher likes the book enough to
put in effort so people would actually buy it.
When
reading it, the book is mostly like any other boy-girl story on Wattpad. She’s
a tomboy, her neighbours are her best friend and they are like Greek Gods. They
played football and are always there for her. They all have known each other
since little. This kind of setting tends to bore and make me giggle at the same
time.
What
makes it interesting about this book is that she is a flirt. Her name is JJ. She
never chased after the boys nor did the boys chased after her. The drama
continues but the real story only start when I was halfway through the book. It
started when her parents died. That was when everything in her perfect life
crumbles and she has to grow up a bit. Then, she realized her own feelings, her
best friend’s feeling but was too afraid to ruin the friendship. I told you
that there was two best friend. She hooked up with both and none of them seems
to mind.
In
the end, one of her best friend got married and his wife and him set up JJ and
the other best friend. On her first date, she was proposed to and well, she
said yes. This is actually a very simplified version of the story. There’s a
lot of drama and a few tear-jerking moments. It is better if you reader just
grab this book and plop in a comfy chair somewhere.
