When Pat goes to live with his parents, everything seems changed: no one will talk to him about Nikki; his old friends are saddled with families; the Philadelphia Eagles keep losing, making his father moody; and his new therapist seems to be recommending adultery as a form of therapy.

Add a CommentQuirky and touching, with extremely likeable characters. The narrator writes as if he is simple minded, which put me off at first, but I promise you, if you hang in there, the story will draw you in after a few pages. Highly recommended.
This was a satisfying read. It started off slowly for me but once I got 60 pages in, I read the rest of the book in one go. The writing kind of bothered me at times. I then read that Quick's published YA novels in the past which may explain the writing style.
A light, fun read if not a totally accurate portrayal of mental illness. Maybe it's accurate if you're in a rich family, are surrounded by friends and are being perused by a beautiful woman. No real idea what Pat's actual illness is. I liked the message though. Even if the mental illness stuff was kind of a mystery. But life isn't really like this. Which, I suppose explains the success of the story.
Charming novel about recovery. Very optimistic too. A bit different from the movie so if you have only seen the movie, give the novel a shot too.
Prefer the movie to the book..
I chose to read the book after watching the movie, and can honestly say the film is only inspired by the book and not a true adaptation.
This book was great, fun & quirky! Really enjoyed reading about Pat Peoples and what he's going through.
This was a fun, light read. Not terribly believable, but lots of fun moments. I think, from the looks of the trailer, I'll enjoy the movie better....
I'm really excited for the movie
I wanted to read this book because i heard about it's movie release for 2013 and thought I would give it a tryy. I absolutely loved it! Couldn't put it down from the moment I started! Even though there's alot of football talk and random parts you won't understand till the end, it was great!
