a book review

Hi, this is Hitomii.

I read a book named "About a Boy" in this vacation. This story's theme is love. There are many kinds of love, I think. For instance, romance and family love.
Will is a single man, and he doesn't want to have any responsibilities. He had never worked even though he is thirty-six years old. His father left royalties for Will, so that's why Will can live without having a job.
One day, he met a good-looking woman, Angie. He wanted to go out with her, but she is a single mother. They went out for half a year, however, they broke up. Will wanted to meet single mothers, so he visited a group called SPAT (Single Parents - Alone Together). He pretended to have a son.
Will met Marcus there. Marcus is 12 years old, and his mother has some big problems. Fiona, Marcus's mother, tried to kill herself. She got better, but Marcus concerend about his mother more than before.
Marcus ditected a lie which Will made in order to join SPAT. At first, Will and Marcus weren't good friends, but they got friendly gradually. However, Fiona became sick again. Marcus asked Will to help her, but Will's answer was not good.

You can also watch this story. I haven't watched movie, so I'll try it. I hope you guys will enjoy this story :)
