The Girl Next Door

De: Jennifer Sucevic

Narrado por: Kelsey Navarro, James Anderson Foster

Mia Stanbury is the quintessential girl next door: smart, beautiful, and determined. She’s got it all going on.

Is it any wonder that she’s been on my radar for as long as I can remember? We’re talking middle school, folks. I’ll admit that I’ve made a few boneheaded mistakes as far as she’s concerned, but what can I say? I’m a dude. Sometimes I think with the wrong head. We’ll just chalk it up to one of the hazards of having a Y chromosome and leave it at that.

But I’m older now. More mature. Sort of.

Mia has spent all of high school and college keeping me at a distance. If she didn’t melt in my arms every time I put my hands on her, I’d almost think she was immune to my charms. Turns out that’s not the case. This is our last year at Wesley before we go our separate ways. Me to the NFL, her to law school. It’s now or never. I’m done playing games and allowing her to push me away.

I was her first, and I’ll damn well be her last.

Contains strong language and sexual situations intended for mature listeners.

It was okay

The storyline was good. I just couldn’t get over the male narrator, he didn’t seem right for this story. This was a first time book for me from this author.

Perfect beach read

Predictable, but worth 3.5 stars. I enjoyed listening to this story- the spice was well-timed to help move the story along without being too much. It reads like a fling for late teens to 20-somethings. I even listened while taking a nap on vacation, but was able to pick right back up. I’d recommend it, as a beach read!

Cute but not quite -SPOILERS

This book was super cute but it felt more like an outline of a longer story, there are 4 main plot “challenges” the FMC/MMC face together and not a single one of them is addressed
1. What happens to the teacher that assaulted Beck
2. Why did Mia forgive her dad after saying she never would
3. What was the relationship with Becks Dad.
Im suddenly blanking on the 4th one but will update when I remember.

Kelsey Navarro crushed it but the Male voice actor sounded too old for this character
The story wasn’t very spicy and since I do judge a book by a cover I expected more spice and more plot
So like I said I didn’t hate it but it didn’t feel like the full story

Great story

Loved this story BUT thought the male narrator sounded way to old to be a young man. The female narrator was really great but it was like she was in love with her father gross

Great story!

I really loved this story! I would highly recommend you read/listen to this book!

Nice love story

I enjoyed the story but didn’t care for the characters voices. They sounded too old for their characters so it stood out for me often and would have been more enjoyable with voices that better matched the main characters. Other than that, it was a nice “girl next door” love story.

Drinking game alert

Take a shot every time “her core clenched”. This story is just silly. Bordering on misogynist.

Male narrator sounds like a grandpa- not a college guy

Eventually I may finish this story in book form but can’t get through the male narrator who’s sounds like a grandpa and talking about “spanking his wank”. I. Just. Can’t.

Love the story

I love stories like this. It was where the guy has loved the girl forever and the girl has loved the guy forever. At last they finally get together after years.

Glad this was free

I can’t believe this chic spent the majority of the book running and hiding from the MMC. Seriously! This may as well have been a high school based book. Not interested in the next book in the series…
