Bachelor Boys

This here is a book that I'm extremely glad that I didn't listen to most reviews. Most reviews said all it was about was sex, sex, sex. Well, they were wrong. It was about love, love, and well...love. Love for the mother you never had, love for the boy you always wanted, love for those around us. This particular story is about Cassie. Cassie is a women who's childhood was at first filled with absent parents and a nanny who could care less. This was before she met next-door neighbors Phoebe, her two sons Frederick and Ben, and Phoebe's husband Jimmy. Though Jimmy isn't as present in the story as Phoebe you still feel for all the characters when you learn how Jimmy had recently died of cancer and now, Phoebe was as well. Phoebe has been more of a mother to Cassie as a child and an adult then her mother ever had been. So, as Phoebe's dying wish to see her two sons married off before she passes Cassie reluctantly agrees. This story involves a few flashbacks to Cassie's childhood that really help solidify the reason's why she isn't close to her real mother. Besides the fun-loving, silly parts of this book that make up most of the parts with Frederick and Ben, parts of this book will honestly drive you to tears. As the story progresses and you see Phoebe weakening you can't help but wish she wasn't. You can't help but wish there was something more you could do then sit there and watch it happen. This is a book that you won't be able to put down from beginning to end. This is the type of book that most anyone would enjoy if they just stopped judging and listened to the words. That's exactly what I did and I was not dissapointed in any way. I thought the characters were developed in a great way and I loved how quirky some of them were. So, overall grade...A+
