There are just some things that remind me of my childhood. 
 Nostalgia sets my heart a flutter and makes me remember all the good times (and, frankly, some of the bad). 
 That Boy gave me the same feeling. 
 Written like a diary, That Boy tells the story of JJ Reynolds, a girl who built her life around her two best friends. Through thick and thin, the dynamic trio grew up, made mistakes, broke hearts, and fell in love, all while maintaining steadfast friendships. 
 And oh how I love these boys. 
 -*-Danny-*- 
 There is Danny, the golden boy you can't help but love and admire. Unstoppably loyal, Danny treated JJ like a buddy, a girl who trumped all other girls (and, truthfully, all other friends). Despite extreme popularity and exceptional talent, he always held onto JJ as his best friend. They fight like children and both have tempers hotter than a bonfire, they love each other fiercely. 
 Did I mention he's also incredibly beautiful? The kind of guy you run into a wall just to catch a glimpse at? Oh, well, he's also sinfully hot. 
 -*-Phillip-*- 
 Then there is Phillip, the dark-haired boy next door you just want to kiss! Friendly, outgoing, and lovable to the core, it's easy to just fall in love with Phillip. While JJ is rambunctious and impulsive, Phillip balances her out by being responsible and steadfast - he's her rock. When times get hard, it's his shoulder she cries on and his arms she falls asleep in. 
 In terms of appearance, not even Flynn Rider can match this stud. Boy is smokin' hot. 
 Despite the giggles, I cried hard in this book. I actually sobbed. I didn't expect this story to have such real life heartbreak, but you feel for JJ. 
 While I can't believe their behavior when it comes to the opposite sex (I mean, really! How many people did this group date?! Sheesh, it was a new girl/guy every other day!), their friendship is inspiring. 
 How I want a Danny or a Phillip. Or both. 
 I can dream, right?
