Fall in love with the boy next door in this sweet romance by USA Today Bestselling Author, Jillian Dodd.
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 … crushes on. The boy I get into trouble with, the boy I fight with, the hot quarterback no girl can resist. Being with Danny is like being on an adventure. He has a bright, contagious smile and abs to die for.
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.
*This is a story about friendships that span from grade school through college, and there is no love triangle.

This book is just plain charming.
It’ll make you laugh, it’ll make you swoon, it’ll probably make you cry a little, too.
I love Phillip, I love Danny and I love JJ. Their relationship is adorable and amazing.
Perfect summer read!
So this is the second time reading this book! And will continue until i finish the series! Even knowing what was going to happen, i still got every emotion Jillian wanted you to feel when writing this! It was an emotional Rollercoaster, sad, happy, angry, annoyed, excited… i still felt it all.
I absolutely loved that boy the first time through …
Real Life Romance – My Favorite Series!!! I’ve read them all 2-3 times <3
Oh. My. Gosh. As soon as I read this book it instantly became my new favorite and I HAD to keep reading this series!!! You will fall in love with all three, Jayden, Danny, and Philip!
It is written from JJ (Jayden)’s point of view, and she is such a relatable girl. It follows her through life, starting in her early childhood, middle school, and …
This book hits home in the romance department of the journey true love takes, and you truly feel every emotion along with Jay. I have read the series twice and fall in love with the characters more and more everytime.
This story is so cute!
The relationship between these three friends are amazing but Jayden and Danny’s relationship is my absolute favorite!
If you’re looking for a fun, no steam read, this is for you.
An absolute 5 star read! Times to tear up … times to laugh … times to feel a touch of heartbreak …. and forever love. Thank you Jillian Dodd for my wonderful “first but definitely not last read”.
It was noice
That Boy (That Boy, #1) was a great read by Jillian Dodd. JJ has two cute boys that are her best friends, and she loves them for different reasons. Danny is the dreamy football player that every girl has a crush on. Phillip is the adorable friend that JJ has had since birth. He is always rescuing JJ and tries to keep her out of trouble. Each boy …
I don’t usually read Y/A but let me just say after having this recommended to me over and over and it becoming available with Kindle Unlimited I had nothing to lose. I’m so glad I read it. The relationships in this book are so cool and I wish I had a Phillip and a Danny when I was growing up. It is so obvious that Phillip and Jaydn belong …
Cried my eyes out & laughed out loud. Enjoyed this book way more than I anticipated!
What a heart-sighing book! The characters are wonderfully down to earth, and I completely believe they’re really out there somewhere, living their best lives.
I liked this story and it was interestingly told, but I also feel that was one of the detractors for me as a reader. I struggled to connect to the main character’s experience because the prose seemed to keep me at arms length – so I didn’t
“feel” it with her. I really wanted to.
I liked the love at first sight when they were kids ..and the friendships that stick together threw life.
I love how it was written!
a+++
This was a book that can make you have a lot of feelings. I am not going to lie this book was one of the best! This goes straight into a girls love life, tangling you in having feelings for the characters!
This book was okay. It was a quick read. Good beach book!
This story is about JJ and growing up next door to Phillip and Danny. They have always been there for each other even in the worse of times. I loved seeing the three of them grow up together and how their relationships changed over time. I loved how things worked out in the end can’t wait for more.
