The cover for The Boy Recession drew me in. It really stands out compared to the rash of girl-in-pretty-dress covers that seem to be the trend of late. I had some pretty high expectations for The Boy Recession, but it just didn't live up to what I expected and the hype I've heard. I was expecting some seriously funny hijinks and a boatload of good teenage male deprived drama. The book is told from the alternating perspectives of Hunter and Kelly. Let's start off with Hunter. He was definitely my favorite person of the book and had the most personality. His constant "slackerness" was hilarious and I absolutely loved his inner dialogue. Looking back I wish the book had been told solely from his point of view. Compared to Hunter's awesomeness Kelly was kind of bland. I didn't really understand why she was so special or what drew Hunter to her other than the fact that she was nice and wasn't a psycho. The minor characters helped bolster Kelly's lack of appeal. Eugene, Darcy, and Aviva livened things up a bit. Eugene especially with his crazy money making schemes.

Onto the actual story. There is a boy recession going on and I was expecting a lot of silliness and drama, but the book just didn't deliver. Some wishy washy insta-like between the two main characters and fake significant others and the book was over. There wasn't any real conflict and readers never really get to see Hunter and Kelly interact as a couple. All in all it was just the general lack of action that brought the book down for me. That said, the book wasn't all bad. It was cute, light, funny, and would make the perfect novel to read right before school starts. Taking everything into consideration I give The Boy Recession a barely there 3 STAR rating.

The Boy Recession Flynn Meaney Books Reviews

First Impressions I really liked Bloodthirsty by Flynn Meaney, so when I realized that The Boy Recession was written by her I was stoked! This book just sounded like such a fun read, plain and simple. I like how the cover art reflects what the book is about in a very creative way.

First 50 Pages This isn't a terribly long book and I read it in its entirety in just a couple of hours. It would be perfect for someone who is trying to squeeze in a book or two before going back to school (which is why I decided to read it when I did) because it's so short and so enjoyable. There isn't really anything deep or heavy about The Boy Recession. From the beginning to the end, it's just a lot of fluff and the humor is awesome. I laughed so many times while reading this story. It's the kind of book that you want to pick up if you are feeling down because you won't be able to stop laughing. I thought that the author did a really nice job setting her scenes and giving each of her characters distinct voices.

Characters & Plot The book synopsis that was provided by the publisher basically gives away most of the plot. The story follows Kelly and Hunter who each give their own perspective of the literal boy recession that is occurring at their high school. The points of view from each character are really well done and they seemed to go well together. Sometimes when you have more than one point of view in books the writing seems choppy, but that wasn't the case here. Kelly and Hunter are friends, but I believe they were both secretly (and maybe unknowingly) attracted to each other before the shortage of boys hit their school.

The girls that go to their school are going bonkers and the recession brings out the worst in most of them. The book is full of drama llamas and silly high school chit-chat, bitchy teenagers, and girls that would do just about everything to make sure they have dates to prom. Of course, the guys love this; even the lesser known guys are getting a ton of attention. It's like every teenage boy's dream, to have a bunch of girls fighting over them.

Except Hunter. He is a low-key sort of dude and prefers to hang out under the radar. He's a stereotypical slacker type that doesn't have a lot of drive. When the recession hits, the girls start to take notice of him and he is considered one of the more appealing slacker kids.

Kelly is just your average teenage girl. She isn't popular, but she isn't a loner type either. She is Hunter's friend, but she begins to realize that she has feelings for Hunter. The only problem? She has to compete with a zillion other girls who think they are into Hunter as well.

Of course, Kelly and Hunter form a relationship (finally) and it is really sweet and cute. Their relationship is very simple and it's not overly done. Like the rest of the novel, it's all fluff and fun. It's romantic and very cheesy, just the way I like it!

Final Thoughts This is a wonderful book to kick back with and relax. It's totally cheesy, but cheesy can be awesome! If you ever wondered what it would be like if boys suddenly became a hot commodity, then this is the book for you. I definitely think that The Boy Recession is going to appeal to girls between the ages of 14-17 and maybe a little older. Most of the time I think that many YA titles have cross-over appeal, but I'm not too sure about this one. So if you are older, you might want to skip this one over.
Meaney wrote a book that had me laughing from cover to cover. The plot focuses on the effects of a "boy recession" at a high school. When 12% of the boys leave the school, the remaining guys find that they are now in high demand. Boys who never played a sport before are on the football team and guys who could never hope for a date find that they are surrounded by desperate girls. This book is told from two perspectives, the first is Hunter. At first, he is unaffected by the exodus of the guys from his school. Hunter is a brilliant slacker who doesn't put much effort into anything he does. This changes after being yelled at by a high school advisor and meeting Kelly, the second narrator of this book. Kelly is sweet, nice, and musically gifted. She finds herself drawn to Hunter, she likes his easy-going personality. As the two grow closer, the problems that come with a boy recession begin to interfere with their friendship.
The Boy Recession is perfect for young adult and teenage readers. Meaney's writing is humorous and creative. All the characters stand out and are memorable. I can't wait to read Meaney's next book and I give this novel five out of five stars.
There's very little connection to the characters and the story. The plot is silly and expected. Not worth reading at all
This book was absolutely great! No regrets about buying it and totally worth reading! I defiantly recommend this book for teenagers only! Including teenage comedy and situations!
I rated it 5 stars since the condition was great! I mean the book itself was pretty good. I love hard covered books and the price was awesome since at the book stores the books are always so expensive.
