You would never know that The Possibilities of Amy was written by a female. Jaye Frances captures the inside of a teenage boy's mind to a tee.This story definitely brings back high school memories. Everyone has that special "someone" that they admired from afar. The fear of gaining the courage to speak to them, to smile at them, and the fear of not being noticed plays throughout David's mind. Everyone has been in this situation before, even if they don't want to admit it. A first crush forever stays with you, even after the years of time. All of this is present with this story. It was refreshing to be inside a teenage boy's mind for once, and experience his feelings.The story does have some adult content, but wouldn't that be normal for a teenage boy? As David struggles with his courage to talk with Amy, fate takes over and he does land a date with Amy. I completely enjoyed this book, and found that Jaye has completely captured the emotions of David. That takes creative writing skills. Who knew that boys have feelings too? (haha)
