Previously published as The Boy Recession.
The population of Whitefish Bay, Wisconsin, is shrinking as families move to cities and towns with greener pastures, and the local high school is hurting: Nearly all of the area's most eligible guy shave moved or transferred schools.
With little competition, the remaining boys find their stocks on the rise, and even the most unlikely candidates have a good chance of making the team and getting the girl. Guitar-strumming slacker Hunter Fahrenbach has made an art of blending into the background, but now desperate coaches are recruiting him and popular girls are noticing his scruffy good looks. With a little help, Hunter might even be boyfriend material...
Down-to-earth Kelly Robbins has simple wish for her junior year: "one normal, nice boy to crush on." Kelly and Hunter have always been friends, but is there something more to their platonic relationship? And can Kelly overcome the odds? After all, dating is hard enough without a four-to-one ratio.
Flynn Meaney's writing has been described as "witty, laugh-out-loud funny, and real," and Boys Wanted cements her spot as a comedic star on the rise.

Gr 8-11-Budget cuts at Julius P. Heil High cause the football coach and all the players pursuing college scholarships to leave for prep schools with better prospects. Suddenly the remaining guys at the small school near Milwaukee find their girl appeal soaring. Longtime friends Hunter Fahrenbach and Kelly Robbins narrate the events of their unusual junior year in separate chapters. Easygoing, long-haired Hunter not only attracts spandexer Diva, who proclaims him her boyfriend, but also unexpectedly stars in the school musical. His entrepreneurial friend, Eugene, expands his business enterprises of securing cigarettes and alcohol for underage users by setting up an escort service for girls needing dates to the prom. Dependable "nice girl" Kelly realizes her feelings for Hunter have changed from friendly to romantic when they set up a musical mentoring program for elementary students after the school band is eliminated. Her friend Aviva documents developments in the boy recession for the online school newspaper. Despite mishaps and misunderstandings, all plotlines lead to Kelly and Hunter getting together to attend prom. Their narrative voices sound similar, although he spices his chapters with profanity. Their breezy, fast-paced accounts incorporate humorous situations and witty comments. Standard fare for readers searching for romance with a neatly packaged happy ending.-Kathy Piehl, Minnesota State University, Mankatoα(c) Copyright 2011.

From Booklist
When the town’s two biggest, boy-heavy families send their sons to private school, there’s a noticeable shortage of testosterone at the local high school. Kelly, understandably, is concerned—what will this mean for future boyfriend material? But it’s good news for Hunter, who is basically the world’s cutest slacker, and his friends, who can now have almost any girl they want. The school newspaper deems it the great boy recession and chronicles the effects on the school’s decimated male population. In addition to the lack of guys, there’s an actual recession going on, and the school band is completely, er, disbanded, throwing Kelly and Hunter together to institute a youth band program for elementary students. As Kelly’s crush on Hunter begins to grow, she finds herself in danger of losing him to one of the popular (read: trashier) girls at school. What to do? Meaney’s laugh-out-loud dialogue and vulnerable protagonists—they split first-person narration duties—assure this charming crowd-pleaser a varied audience. Grades 9-12. --Courtney Jones
Review
"In this sassy and very funny he said/she said romantic comedy from Meaney (Bloodthirsty), Kelly and Hunter's small Wisconsin high school suffers an exodus of dudes. . . the fun of the story lies less in the question of "Will they or won't they?" than in the large supporting case of offbeat friends. . . rarely has a recession brought such enjoyment."―Publishers Weekly
"Meaney's The Boy Recession is downright hilarious... smooth, witty, and charming. The Boy Recession is bound to please across the board."―VOYA
"The dialogue is witty and crisp, capturing the rhythms of teen conversations."―Kirkus
"Meany's laugh-out-loud dialogue and vulnerable protagonists-they split first-person narration duties-assure this charming crowd-pleaser a varied audience."―Booklist
"Breezy, fast-paced accounts incorporate humorous situations and witty comments."―SLJ
Praise for Bloodthirsty:
"Bloodthirsty sparkles with wit and charm."―Daniel Waters, author of Generation Dead
"A story so funny and clever I wish I had thought of it myself."―Jake Wizner, author of Spanking Shakespeare and Castration Celebration

Live To Read
By Chels
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.

Not for younger readers
By R Powell
I am writing astute parent of a middle school age girl. I was pre-reading before giving offering this book to my daughter; I did not get past chapter 4. By that point, I had encountered enough uses of the "f" word, references to pot smoking and masturbation, that I decided this book would have to wait a few years. The premise is interesting, but the writing is uninspired. Read at your own risk!

SO funny and entertaining!
By Amanda Welling
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.
