"The Boy Most Likely To" written by Huntley Fitzpatrick is about a recovering alcoholic, Tim Mason, and 19 year old, Alice Garrett. Alice is the second oldest of nine siblings, one of which is not born yet. With her father in the hospital from a disastrous car accident and her mother constantly taking care of him or working, Alice has accepted the role of caretaker. Her life is thrown even more off track when Tim Mason ends up living in the Garrett family's apartment above their garage.Tim had a rough past. He is a high school dropout, recovering alcoholic, and he has never been the type to settle down in a relationship. Tim's father makes a deal with him: if Tim does not straighten up by the end of December, then his father will drop all the financial care that he is providing him. Tim decides to stay with his best friend, Jase Garrett, in order to have a fresh start at cleaning up his act. Jase happens to be Alice's younger brother.
After a few days at the Garrett's apartment, Tim has a visitor that brings some unexpected news. Trying to figure out what to do with this new problem in his life, and with a blossoming love for Alice, Tim finds himself in a challenging situation. Will they make it through this together, or will it tear them apart? Check out "The Boy Most Likely To" in the John I. Burton's library!
