Fetch Your Copy A Boy Worth Knowing Assembled By Jennifer Cosgrove Shared As Kindle

loved this! My first book by this author! I love when I read a new author and the book is good, I thought this was a sweet story of young love It's YA, I really enjoyed Nate's voice, and I loved how he and James met, They were so sweet together, It was interesting how Nate could see and talk to ghost but ironically it never felt like it was paranormal, just an everyday boy who happened to be able to talk to ghosts.
I also loved Nate's aunt Sarah she was too cool, I know this review is all over the place but all you need to know is that I loved the book, lol, Una monada, con un protagonista que se hace querer, adorable y muy simpático, De esas lecturas que te dejan de buen rollo y con una sonrisa en la boca, Sweet, impactful YA with modest angst, tasteful dare I say ageappropriate romance and sexuality, and light paranormal elements,

I might have liked to learn more about certain characters, but on the upside, there's already plenty of material to explore if the author decides to write more stories in this setting.


The leads were really well done and sold the whole experience for me, I'd definitely revisit this author, This was such a great surprise!
I am not much into paranormal reads but I have to say, I am so glad I gave this a go because this was incredibly good!
sitelinkA Boy Worth Knowing has that special vibe of "couldn't stop reading it".

I think the author has approached the paranormal subject in a very sensitive and careful way, Instead of making it sinister and creepy, she opted for light and fun and it worked so well,
Both characters were adorable,
The angst was just perfect,
My niggle: Natan's mother was a loose end, I am not a fan of the insta trope, Too big change of heart suddenly,

I adored this book, Nate is lonely and considered a freak at school, He can talk to Ghosts and he's so snarky, awkward and adorkable, James is sweet, outgoing and saw something special in Nate, With two main ghosts that stick around, an awesome aunt, some mean teenagers and a few hiccups along the way, . . we get one very sweet and special story, I gradually fell out of love with this as it went along, until I was sorely tempted to DNF, Initially I likedyear old Nate's narrative voice he was smart without being overly snarky, I've read so many YA novels that try too hard, ending up with ast person narration that's strident and obnoxious,

What didn't ring true here was Nate's age he's a high school senior, but came across to me as aoryear old.
But the dealkiller was the utterly cliché nature of the high school drama, Apparently every American high school is equipped with a maniacally evil beautiful blonde sociopath, and Nate's school was no exception, I cannot stand this stereotype of an allpowerful teenage girl, as evil as she is beautiful, spewing venom and hatred as she effortlessly dominates a school comprised of hundreds of students, all of whom cringe and cower before her.
I mean seriously WTF I went to an American high school myself, and believe me, life was not like that,

I'm going to go withstars, but I really wasn't happy with the second half of the book, This is a debut novel, and I hope that for her next book the author leaves the clichés and tired stereotypes behind.
As far as high school YA goes, I much preferred sitelinkWhen It All Falls Down by sitelinkTanya Chris, which features a more mature MC, and sitelinkSimon vs.
the Homo Sapiens Agenda,.stars. lt

A Boy Worth Knowing is one of the best YA books Ive read recently, Wonderfully realistic, witty, and charming, and I so, so, so adored Nate, I loved James, toobut Nate, you guyshe was fantastic, Jennifer Cosgrove gave him such an authentic voice, I truly felt like I was inside a high school boys head, The same was true for James as well in fact, all the characters read as very true to life, Theres nothing that bothers me more in reading YA than it feeling forced, or painfully obvious that its anything but a teenager or young adult writing the story.
Cosgrove definitely seems to have the knack for it, though,

See my full review here: sitelink thenovelapproachreviews. co Seventeenyearold Nate Shaw has been able to see ghosts since he was twelve, This ability labeled him a freak and an outcast at school, This all changes when the new boy, James Powell, takes a seat next to him in class, James not only notices him, he manages to work his way into Nate's life and heart, But will James stick around once he finds out the truth

This book was cute, funny and absolutely heartwarming, If you want something light with adorable main characters you should definitely pick it up, even if the writing style is a bit too simplistic.


I had a good time reading this one, Reread March
The audio is pretty good,



What a lovely story this was! I was immediately enamored with Nate, He was such a sweet soul, who happened to have an ability that made him different, And different in high school calls for trouble, And lack of friends. And loneliness.

Nate isyears old and can see and talk to ghosts, He has regular talks with his deceased Nana, and waves to the grumpy, naked guy on the cemetary every day, He lives with his aunt after his mother kicked him out because she couldn't deal with his ability, Nate is an upbeat guy, but he's also very lonely,

That is until James moves into town, James befriends Nate at school immediately, Nate thinks James is just too good to be true, but he finds out James is just really nice and the two become fast friends.


But Nate just knows James won't stay his friend if he ever finds out what Nate can do, Especially when James comes with his own ghost stuck to him, It's not like Nate can really ignore that, .

I absolutely loved these guys, It was such a pleasure to be in Nate's head, He was sweet, but sad and I just wanted to hug him, I loved it when James became his friend and especially when they became more than friends,

This is YA, but I was very happy to find out that these young guys do explore their sexual feelings for each other.
In some YA books it's like they suddenly have no sexual thoughts, But even though we don't get the full on detailed naked sexy times no fade to black either, these guys are just not ready for the real thing yet, we do get make out sessions and frotting.
It was sweet, and wonderfully appropriate for this

book,

Such a sweet story, and I loved it,

I'm a big sucker for YA m/m romance that has a coming of age feel, so I was very excited to read this.
And in the end I liked it, but not as much as I wanted to, What I liked most was Nate I loved his voice and I really understood and felt for him, What I didn't like First, even though we don't really see the mom much, I thought that part was a little over the top.
I guess as a mom I can't really see Nate's mom actually kicking him out of the house and refusing to be in touch with him just because of his ability to talk to ghosts.
Second, there were some things about the development of the relationship with James that weren't believable to me, We find out at the end that James was attracted to Nate at the beginning and wanted to kiss him the first time they went to a movie.
After that movie they became very close friends, Then Nate tells James that he's gay, Even though James is bisexual and apparently not closeted he'd had a boyfriend before, he doesn't tell Nate at this time It doesn't seem believable.
Then out of nowhere James starts to date that girl, Really Then he can't understand why Nate is all upset I don't know, it just seemed a little, perhaps, contrived just to add drama.
I'm probably just being too picky!,
