To celebrate the release of The Boy Most Likely To by Huntley Fitzpatrick (8/18/15), 10 blogs across the web will be featuring exclusive content from Huntley, as well as a chance to win a YA Goodie Basket in the Grand Prize Giveaway!
Today, Huntley stops by to tell us about 10 (terrible) alternate titles for The Boy Most Likely To!
The Rules: Scroll through your manuscript and stop on a random place. Whatever you land on becomes one of ten terrible titles.
A surprising, utterly romantic companion to My Life Next Door—great for fans of Sarah Dessen and Jenny Han.
Tim Mason was The Boy Most Likely To find the liquor cabinet blindfolded, need a liver transplant, and drive his car into a house.
Alice Garrett was The Girl Most Likely To… well, not date her little brother’s baggage-burdened best friend, for starters.
For Tim, it wouldn’t be smart to fall for Alice. For Alice, nothing could be scarier than falling for Tim. But Tim has never been known for making the smart choice, and Alice is starting to wonder if the “smart” choice is always the right one. When these two crash into each other, they crash hard.
Then the unexpected consequences of Tim’s wild days come back to shock him. He finds himself in a situation that isn’t all it appears to be, that he never could have predicted . . . but maybe should have.
And Alice is caught in the middle.
Told in Tim’s and Alice’s distinctive, disarming, entirely compelling voices, this novel is for readers of The Spectacular Now, Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist, and Paper Towns.

There’s a Raccoon under the Woodshed the Size of a Puma (or just the first part)
I really want to know what inspired this one! =)
I love some of the alternate titles a lot but my favorites are “Diastar Boy Meets Karma Girl” and maybry “We Are Hypocrites” just for the fun and total difference between the two!
Than you for the giveaway! I really like “You’re Not Going To Get What You Need From My Nose” …. I’m wondering what that means, lol. ??
Okay well most of the alt titles are HI-LARIOUS but my fav would be HYPOCRITES ARE US. ^-^
I’d read A Funny Thing Happened On My Way To Rehab! I would stop in my tracks if I saw that on a bookshelf!! ?
I thought that sounded like the latest rockstar bio.
Nobody Looks Mature Eating Ice-Cream works for me. Or, maybe My Life as a Trainwreck.
Disaster Boy Meets Karma Girl would be my pick. I really like that one!!
I’d go with My Life as a Trainwreck. That sounds like a title of a book I would read.
How about Baby Steps?
I would go with “Unexpected Destinies” or something along those lines. Thanks so much for the giveaway! This is amazing.
I like My Life as a Trainwreck!
I like “My Life as a Trainwreck”. 🙂
favorite would be A Funny Things Happened on My Way to Rehab
Hypocrites Are Us. LOL! Thanks for the chance!;)
Nobody looks mature eating ice cream is my favorite, and it’s also definitely TRUE! 😉
“My Life as a Trainwreck” is awesome (going with the “My Life” theme of the series) but “Hell If I’m Not Reacting Like She’s Unzipping My Jeans” is pretty great!
My personal favorite: My Life as a Trainwreck. I think a lot of people would read a book based on that title alone.
The Big Mechanical Shark Can’t Jump That Far hah would be fantastic!
This book is the next one on my to-read pile. So excited!

Nobody Looks Mature Eating Ice-Cream, the story of my life!
