The Boy Most Likely To

The Boy Most Likely To

by Huntley Fitzpatrick

The romantic companion to My Life Next Door—great for fans of Sarah Dessen and Jenny Han. 

Tim Mason was The Boy Most Likely To find the liquor cabinet blindfolded, need a liver transplant, and drive his car into a house

Alice Garrett was The Girl Most Likely To . . . well, not date her little brother’s baggage-burdened best friend, for starters.

For Tim, it wouldn’t be smart to fall for Alice. For Alice, nothing could be scarier than falling for Tim. But Tim has never been known for making the smart choice, and Alice is starting to wonder if the “smart” choice is always the right one. When these two crash into each other, they crash hard.

Told in Tim’s and Alice’s distinctive, disarming, entirely compelling voices, this novel is for readers of The Spectacular Now, Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist, and Paper Towns.

PRAISE FOR MY LIFE NEXT DOOR:
YALSA BFYA title  RITA Awards Finalist: Best First Book (Romance Writers of America) 

* "Fitzpatrick's excellent first novel movingly captures the intensity of first love [and] the corrupting forces of power..." —Publishers Weekly, starred review
"Samantha and Jase have chemistry that crackles: it's the novel's tender, awkward, sexy, dizzy-happy portrayal of first love that really makes it soar." —Horn Book
"The characters are dynamic and realistic. Strong narrative pacing adds to the whole sun-kissed package, which is on par with authors such as Sarah Dessen and Deb Caletti." —School Library Journal
"An almost perfect summer romance...[that] will have every girl who reads the novel wishing for a Jase of her own." —Kirkus Reviews

PRAISE FOR WHAT I THOUGHT WAS TRUE: 
* “Fitzpatrick once again evokes the dizzying heights of adolescent passion while remaining down-to-earth." —Publishers Weekly, starred review
“Beautifully portrays a teenager’s wobbly foray into sex as well as her dawning awareness of the power that actions and incautiously chosen words have to hurt others. . . . [N]atural dialogue and authentic characters abound. Much deeper than the pretty copver lets on.” —Kirkus Reviews
“A sometimes steamy and very believable account of how it feels to discover how important it is to take responsibility for oneself . . . A must for collections that can’t keep Sarah Dessen, Stephanie Perkins, or YA summer romance titles on the shelves.” —Booklist
“[Fitzpatrick] has smart storytelling abilities, and her novels have a yearned-for richness and depth . . . Watching Cass and Gwen fall in love is a true delight.” —Romantic Times
