My Life Next Door

Product Information

Furthermore, Tim, Nan’s older brother, undergoes immense growth and change throughout this novel as well as being one hell of an intelligent, sassy, and funny guy – all qualities which instantaneously made him my favorite character. The Garrets are her neighbors next door and Sam’s mother hates them because they remind her of her ex- in laws. I hated how Grace, Samantha's mom, was constantly looking down on the Garret's, just because they were a big family. Jase's parents and their seven other children – Joel, Alice, Andy (Andrea), Duff, Harry, George and Patsy – welcome Samantha into their home. Already, she was well on the path to exploring the paradoxical emotions involved in first love and true love.

He is smart and sweet and so damn lovely; I wanted to kiss him, to hug him, to take him home and adopt him.I really like stories like this, that get you through every stage of a young relationship; that make you hold your breath for the romantic moments, for the first kiss; that make you smile at all the silliness and cuteness of the couple; that make you ache for them when they are in trouble and fall apart; that make you love them more when they get back together, much stronger as a couple, much more in love, knowing themselves better, accepting each other with the good and the bad, feeling their love grow with every page, with every word. This was a 5 plus star read for me…until the end, because there really wasn’t one, or at least not one that satisfied me.

Jase and Samantha’s relationship was adorable, snarky, and well done and I’m excited to find another great author.

I'm part of a small family and struggle to imagine what it must be like to be one of eight children, but I loved reading about the Garretts, and watching Samantha figure out how to navigate their world.

Samantha lives a perfect, polished life in a beautiful big house with her mother, Senator Grace Reed, and older sister, Tracy. Samantha knows that her mother is responsible for this act that is causing the Garretts to suffer, but no one else knows about it, so what should she do?
