Publisher's summary

Amber Walker and her older brother, Jake, have an abusive father. One night, her brother's best friend, Liam, sees her crying and climbs through her bedroom window to comfort her. That one action sparks a love/hate relationship that spans over the next eight years. Liam is now a confident, flirty player who has never had a girlfriend before. Amber is still emotionally scarred from the abuse she suffered at the hands of her father. Together they make an unlikely pair. Their relationship has always been a rocky one, but what happens when Amber starts to view her brother's best friend a little differently? And how will her brother, who has always been a little overprotective, react when he finds out that the pair are growing closer?

Not for those over 18...

Wow, this was pretty bad. I hesitated to download this book for a while due to a couple bad reviews, but it just kept coming back up. So, because I really like Sean Crisden, I gave it a chance. Big mistake. Crisden didn’t even start narrating until like three fourths of the way through. I’m actually amazed that I even made it that far.

The writing, and the story itself for that matter, are so juvenile. I swear it sounds like Twilight fan fiction I wrote in 9th grade, but worse. The way the characters talk and act is so unrealistic and over the top. Like a cheap imitation of the characters from a CW teen drama. And Liam saying, “Angel” in every freaking sentence drove me absolutely insane.

The story had no plot or substance and was just so boring. I held on waiting for something. I don’t know what, but I never got it. I mean, I now know this book was not meant for me, but I don’t think it’s even good enough for its intended audience. Don’t waste your brain cells on this, kids! Move along.

Favorite

I read this a while ago and loved it. This book was how I found Audible. I have no time to read but had to "read" it again so thank you Audible.

Awesome

This book is really good. I’m disappointed in the bad reviews! I thought the issues that it touched on a really good points. There was nothing to grading about it.

Wonderfully sweet story, Terribly awful narration.

This story was so cute and romantic, I’d strongly recommend it to anyone but that is if you can stand the narration...

amazing book

i loved it. it actually got me feeling emotions i didnt even know i had.

IN LOVE

have listened to this book 4 times now and everytime is amazing! For all the romantics at heart

Great Book// Vocal issues

I have listened to this book two times. I decided to listen to it again because I really enjoyed the story, but the voices just bothered me to much. I looked I to Leah Mallach and listened to another book she had read for and I really enjoyed it. I think this book just didnt fit her voice correctly that or she was sick. Throughout the book instead of finding Amber innocent and in love I found her to be more annoying then anything. the story was good but overall I think Leah was the wrong choice to voice a 16 year old

So tender.

Such a sweet story. Young adult but good for any age. Gets even better with each reread.

Young Love ... Aww

This was a cute listen that had some dark elements. For the most part it was a sweet relationship between Amber and Liam. They are typical teens that fall for each other and need to figure out what they want to do in life and then there are some big life choices then need to overcome. Its was a nice listen and I wasnt sad I spent my credit on this book. Should you do it too yes! Happy Listening!

Semi YA/adult romance with dark undertone

The Boy Who Sneaks in my Bedroom Window is a love story held by an undertone of darkness. This is not a typical high school romance. Please don't misunderstand the book does have a really sweet love story, but it's so much more than that. This book will drag some strong emotions out of you. It dives into some really uncomfortable & devastating subject matter. This story follows Amber, a teenager who suffered severe child abuse when she was young. When she was eight years old, Liam saw Amber crying and sneaked into her bedroom to comfort her. Liam is the neighbor boy & Amber's brothers best friend. After that night, Liam has constantly been sneaking into Amber's bedroom to sleep with her. The story follows the relationship between the two love birds and how Amber struggle to fight her past demons. Anyway, good story, good characters and recommended to all semi-YA/adult readers who enjoy a little heartache mixed with their romance.
