about book:

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.

my thoughts:

Talk about a fun, hilarious, sweet, and engaging story! I absolutely LOVED The Boy Is Back by Meg Cabot.

Becky is living her life, working hard, enjoying her family, friends and boyfriend (the lumbersexual).  Basically, life is good.  And then, she gets a text from her sister with a link to a newspaper article about her ex-boyfriend's parents getting arrested for trying to pay for dinner with a stamp.  Crazy, eh?  Well, it gets even crazier when she gets an email asking her company to do a job for her ex's family.  This is the same ex who was her first (and only) true love - the one she could never get over, even after her he smashed her heart to pieces ten years ago.  Yep, the ex who left town and became a rich and famous golfer - the kind that dates models and snags advertising deals.  So, what does Becky decide to do?  Take on the job and treat her ex cordially.  Except, sometimes exes and old feelings that never really went away shouldn't mix.  Hmmm....looks like The Boy being back in town just might be what Becky needed.  And that is all I will say about his terrific story.

Told via text messages, emails, Amazon reviews, etc., The Boy Is Back tackles love, family, and friendship in such a fun and unique way. I just loved turning one page of texts to find an Amazon review of a porcelain kitten - talk about creative storytelling.  And the characters were so much fun to get caught up with - all of their personal dramas were relatable, realistic, and entertaining to read about.  I LOVED this book!  It was laugh out loud funny and unputdownable!  I would definitely recommend The Boy Is Back to fans of the Boys series, fans of Cabot, and anyone looking for their next great read.
