Blurb Description: In this brand-new novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Meg Cabot, a scandal brings a young man back home to the small town, crazy family, and first love he left behind.
Reed Stewart thought he’d left all his small town troubles—including a broken heart—behind when he ditched tiny Bloomville, Indiana, ten years ago to become rich and famous on the professional golf circuit. Then one tiny post on the Internet causes all of those troubles to return . . . with a vengeance.
Becky Flowers has worked hard to build her successful senior relocation business, but she’s worked even harder to forget Reed Stewart ever existed. She has absolutely no intention of seeing him when he returns—until his family hires her to save his parents.
Now Reed and Becky can’t avoid one another—or the memories of that one fateful night. And soon everything they thought they knew about themselves (and each other) has been turned upside down, and they—and the entire town of Bloomville—might never be the same, all because The Boy Is Back.
There’s something so
enchanting about reading Meg Cabot books…
It’s like going back to the days you first started reading,
and re-experiencing your first love all over again (because if you haven’t read
The Princess Diaries, you haven’t
truly experienced ANYTHING) and it is beautiful.
While I wasn’t initially excited about The Boy Is Back, I’m only a mere bookworm with no self-restraint
(as my bookshelf will clearly show you) and well, I definitely reached the
excitement stage, and the MINUTE (okay, the day) after I got the book, I dove
in.
The Boy Is Back is a quirky and hilarious, a typical Meg Cabot book
that will have you laughing, falling in love and, as always, wondering where
your Michael Moscovitz/ Reed Stewart is.
Becky Flowers is the only senior moving consultant in a
hundred mile radius, and has stayed in her home town of Bloomville, Indiana
when her dad passed away to take over the family business. There’s only one
thing that still shadows her – a boy in high school, and a break-up and scandal
that involved a pool, liquor, a golf cart, a prom and ten years of no phone
calls.
Reed Stewart used to be the number one golf player in the
world, and he also used to be the son of a judge and in love with a quirky girl
whose last name was flowers’, until he left it all behind.
Ten years later, and a minor scandal involving stamps, major
food chains and fraud, Reed Stewart is back in town, and nothing will ever be
the same.
There are so many
things you that ALL Meg Cabot books contain, that you can’t help but love:
1. DRAMA
2.
A TAD MORE DRAMA
3.
FAMILY
4.
BEAUTIFUL BOYS that make you want to scream at
your love life
5.
AWESOME Best Friends
6.
Siblings (mostly)
7.
Princesses and Genius Scientists that make you
swoon
8.
AWKWARDNESS
9.
DRAMA (Wait. Did I say that?)
10.
A WHOLE
LOT OF AWESOME BOOKSIHNESS
And with the exception of number 7, The Boy Is Back has all of them, which just means that you need to
buy and start reading this NOW. Told in a text, email and diary format, this book is a fast paced read that will
have you smiling, pining and rooting for a fairy-tale ending.
Despite all the cuteness, the only thing I didn’t like was
Becky and Reed together. Don’t get me wrong, they were GREAT on paper – cute,
wronged lovers that fate threw together again – and their texts and email to
and about each other were OH SO CHEMISTRY FILLED, but The Boy Is Back had about
FOUR SCENES where they actually spoke to each other, and well, I NEEDED MORE.
Reed, though he was portrayed as a ‘bad boy’ really just seemed like an
enigmatic rich boy.
I think I just needed MORE of Becky and Reed themselves, ALONG
with all the secondary drama for it to have been a great, and not just a good
read.
