****
Samantha Reed's mother does not approve of the next door neighbors, the Garretts. They're noisy and messy, have lots of kids, and don't seem to care what other people think of them. But those are the exact reasons that Samantha's been watching the Garretts since they moved in when she was a little girl. The idea of a close-knit family is very appealing to Samantha, who is getting sick of her mother's quest for perfection both in public and at home as she runs for reelection to Congress. While her mom is busy campaigning, Samantha meets Jase Garret and is quickly absorbed into the chaos of his family. Just when it seems as though Samantha has found a place with the Garretts, her mother does something unforgivable and puts Samantha's relationship in jeopardy.
If you're craving some serious chick lit,
My Life Next Door is the sort of thing you want to read. There's plenty of drama and a super-sweet guy. What more could you ask for? This novel is a Sarah Dessen read-alike, for the Sarah Dessen fans out there. I thought it was really cute. To be read when you're in the mood for something girly, or when you've just finished a depressing book and are looking for a happy ending.
Rating: 4/5
