I can’t count the times I had to stop reading because I couldn’t deal with their crap.
When I say they are so not great characters I don’t mean they are poorly written I mean they are horrible people. Then we have some really not so great characters, Gracie (Sam’s mom), Clay (Sam’s mom’s boyfriend) and Nan (Sam’s “best friend”). The character development of Tim is a great thing to read. He is very fast paced, sometimes crude and a screw up with an addiction problem but at the same time he is a wonderful friend who is a great writer and really deep. This is a weird thing to relate someone to but Tim reminds me of the band Blink-182. The things that come out of his mouth are hilarious and I’m just in love with him. I'm completely in love with George, Jace’s four year old brother, he is so adorable I can’t even deal. What I really, really loved about this book was it's characters. Both characters are strong, independent, mature and responsible and they work incredibly well together. I’m not going to rehash what the synopsis says, obviously Sam and Jace get together, but let me tell you - their relationship is so cute. I thought it was going to be over the top fluffy (it was but not in that suffocating and unrealistic YA way) and full of teen angst. I was incredibly surprised by My Life Next Door by Huntley Fitzpatrick. Which perfect family will save her? Or is it time she saved herself? A transporting debut about family, friendship, first romance, and how to be true to one person you love without betraying another. She’s suddenly faced with an impossible decision. Then something unthinkable happens, and the bottom drops out of Samantha’s world. And every day from her rooftop perch, Samantha Reed wishes she was one of them … until one summer evening, Jase Garrett climbs up next to her and changes everything. As the two fall fiercely for each other, stumbling through the awkwardness and awesomeness of first love, Jase’s family embraces Samantha - even as she keeps him a secret from her own.
The Garretts are everything the Reeds are not. “One thing my mother never knew, and would disapprove of most of all, was that I watched the Garretts. Book: My Life Next Door | Author: Huntley Fitzpatrick | Pages: 394
