My Life Next Door by Huntley Fitzpatrick: Ahhh, to be young & falling into that "first love"


A gorgeous debut about family, friendship, first romance, and how to be true to one person you love without betraying another
My Life Next Door (My Life Next Door, #1)
The Garretts are everything the Reeds are not. Loud, numerous, messy, affectionate. And every day from her balcony perch, seventeen-year-old Samantha Reed wishes she was one of them . . . until one summer evening, Jase Garrett climbs her terrace and changes everything. As the two fall fiercely in love, Jase's family makes Samantha one of their own. Then in an instant, the bottom drops out of her world and she is suddenly faced with an impossible decision. Which perfect family will save her? Or is it time she saved herself?






I LOVED this book all the way until I got to the end..
I feel like I was left hanging... Kinda hoping for a part 2...soon?

-With that said, it was an excellent debut novel!!
-Love the cover!
-Loved that I connected with the characters so quickly!! Lessons on friendship, loyalty & family :-)
-Love the realness of Jase & Sam's relationship, and loved falling in love at the same time they did **swoon**
-Loved Tim's character, love how he turned himself around and actually began to think of others instead of himself

Only con: besides that it ended too abruptly for me, wish we could get more on how things end with Sam & Nan, unless that's another story ;-)

Great read! 4.95 stars!!!!
