*I received this from the author for an honest review*This book is classified as YA however it is definitely an older YA book. Some would say it would fall in the New Adult category. The Possibilities of Amy is a fascinating read. I give the story 4 stars.The thing I found refreshing on the story was the fact that the story was written from the male POV instead of the female. I liked that David seems like a few of the guys in my old high school. It wasn't a boy meets girl and everything is perfect story.Even though the story is short I felt I got a good feel for the characters. David is a social outcast in his school. David and his friends have resorted to sitting and discussing how each girl rates on their scale of hotness and coming up with ways that they could get the girls to go out with them. There is at least one of these groups in every school. Then there is Amy, she is beautiful and new to the school so she is a target for conversation in David's group. During these conversations and after his experiences in this story you really see David grow as a person. He grows up a lot and becomes a better man.All in all I think that the author really wrote a good story and a good look in to some guy's heads while in high school. I look forward to reading the author's other books as well.
