The Boy is Back is a silly romp by Meg Cabot.
It’s a no-brainer read and that’s a good thing in the fall. Sit on your
patio with a pumpkin spice beverage and laugh as you read her compilation of
texts, emails, and humorous dialogue between a family and friends in a small
town. Reed Stewart escaped Bloomfield, Indiana by hitting the pro golf tour.
He’s rich and famous, and now he’s back to help sort out his parent’s estate
problems. His parents caused a small town scandal by not paying a local
restaurant. Social media explodes and the Judge is under fire. As Reed and his
siblings uncover his parents hoarder tendencies (gavels and cat statues), their
lack of money despite country club pretenses, and health issues, it’s
time to call in a senior relocation specialist.
Cue dramatic music.
The specialist is none other than Becky Flowers,
Reed’s former girlfriend who was ditched by him on prom night. Can you say
awkward? Or is it a chance to fall in love again? I bet you can
guess where the plot line heads and that’s okay. Meg Cabot has an ear for current
lingo. She keeps the ball rolling with plenty of catch dialogue and laugh out
loud moments. The Boy is Back with a vengeance. Very amusing
read.
Sounds like a fun and light read. Something we all need sometimes. Plus it has the plot line about discovering the parents were hoarders. I may have to check it out.
