Publisher's Summary

You know, being friends with two cute boys does have its benefits.

There's Danny. Danny is a golden boy in every way. He has dreamy blue eyes and blonde hair that always looks perfect, even when it's windblown or been stuck under a football helmet. He's the boy every girl crushes on. The boy I get into trouble with, the boy I fight with, the hot quarterback no girl can resist, not even me. Being with Danny is like being on an adventure. He has a bright, contagious smile and abs to die for. He's pretty much irresistible.

Equally crush worthy is Phillip. Adorable, sweet Phillip, who I have known since birth. Phillip has dark hair, a perfect smile, brown eyes, and the sexiest voice I have ever heard. He's the boy I talk to every night before I go to sleep. The boy who rescues me, the boy who can read my mind, the boy who is always there for me, the boy who tries to keep me out of trouble, the boy who irritatingly keeps getting hotter, and whose strong arms always seem to find their way around me. And when he gives me that grin, I can never say no.

One boy will give me my very first kiss.

One boy will teach me to make out.

One boy will take me to prom.

And finally, one boy will ask me to marry him.

They will both be my best friends.

But only one of them will be the boy I fall in love with.

Only one of them is That Boy.

    "Wow read it in one day!"

    Couldn't put it down! I also couldn't decide which boy I liked better. I loved getting to know the characters from a young age(even though I was a little confused at first) keep listening!

    "I love that boy!"

    I loved this book! I mean really, totally, LOVED this book! That Boy is the story of Jayden and her two best friends Phillip and Danny. It's written from Jayden's perspective in a journal type style. It's a story of growing up, friendship, heartache, and of course love. I laughed, cried, and laughed some more. I will be listening to this book many more times, just for the sheer joy it made me feel!

    "I would like one of each, please"

    I love That Boy ... I loved That Girl ...I have been through the book twice. I think it might be a require a third time. Oh to have friends like Danny and Philip, so sweet and supportive ... always willing to help with anything.

    One to love always for the challenge of it and the other to love always with your heart. That Boy brought me to tears of joy, tears of sadness, and tears from laughing so hard. JJ is a witty character who always gets what she wants and ends with what she needs most. I love both male characters and no matter which she ended up with ... I loved them both.

    "Great Escape"

    I had a great time listening to this story. I could not get enough! The story was great. I agree with another reviewer that it is frustrating that the chapters run one into the other. It is frustrating to not have a pause to know that one scene ends, since the narrator runs one chapter into the other. I took away a star in the performance for that,

    "Excellent! But one little thing..."
    Any additional comments?

    I adored this book: the story, the characters, the narrator, etc. But there was one thing about the audiobook that drove me nuts and for that reason alone I feel like I had to post this in the hopes that it doesn't happen on other audiobooks.

    I listen to a lot of audiobooks and it made me crazy that every chapter ran right into the next. There was no pause, no breath, no nothing. I like being able to have a moment to digest what just happened in the previous chapter, even if it's for a moment, and there was NO pause at all between the final words of the previous chapter and the first ones of the next.

    I know that it seems picky, but it seriously bothered me enough to give the performance a 4-star rating instead of a 5. I know this isn't the narrator's fault, and I thought she was stellar, but whoever produced this needs to keep it in mind in the future.

    Otherwise, it was an amazing book and I highly recommend it!

    Rant over!

    "What can I say except I just loved this book!"
    Would you consider the audio edition of That Boy to be better than the print version?

    Yes because Lisa Cordileone brought Jayden to life.


    What did you like best about this story?

    I love the way Jillian Dodd so perfectly had me feeling all the characters emotions. I laughed, cried, sighed and swooned.


    What does Lisa Cordileone bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

    She wasn't just reading it, she was living it. Not once did I feel like I was listening to somebody just narrate something. She was acting it out. Simply perfect.


    Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

    I practically did! I started this book last night, had to force myself to turn it off and go to sleep and finished it today.


    Any additional comments?

    I hope to see many more additions from Jillian Dodd to Audible!
