Title: My Life Next Door Series: My Life Next Door Author: Huntley Fitzpatrick Published: 07/01/2016, Electric Monkey Pages: 453 Source: Paperback Format: Bought Rating: 4/5 One thing my mother never knew, and would disapprove of most of all, was that I watched the Garretts. All the time. 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.
