My Life Next Door

By: Huntley Fitzpatrick

Narrated by: Amy Rubinate

The Garretts are everything the Reeds are not: loud, numerous, messy, affectionate. And every day from her balcony perch, 17-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. Which perfect family will save her? Or is it time she saved herself?

Loved it!!

I absolutely loved this book! My only critique was it ended! I would love to read more about Jase and Sam, and the whole Garrett family. There are so many stories left to be told with this family.

Fun Book

What did you love best about My Life Next Door?

I loved her showing how fun and different big families are.

What was one of the most memorable moments of My Life Next Door?

Again, it would be describing how big families work. LOVED IT! This book was very enjoyable. I loved how Samantha said how she would sit and watch this family.

Which scene was your favorite?

The begining when Samantha's Mom was telling her how annoying "those" new neighbors would be with all those bikes and toys and how they would rarely mow the lawn.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I just really enjoyed this book! There were parts I was really laughing out loud. Some parts I was not ok with. How nonchalant the parents were with him taking her to his bedroom with all the younger siblings around.

Any additional comments?

I did have a problem with a couple a chapters repeating the begining of the chapter at the end. I thought I was going to have to return it. I really wanted to hear the book though. But it was very confusing. I still don't know if I missed anything?

bad narration

could not stand the narrator's voice it took everything in me to finish listening to this book, story was good wish I had read it instead of listened to it

Enjoyable

Another great freebie, I enjoyed this book from the beginning to the end. Amy is one of my favorite narrators. I’m looking forward to the next book (2 books) from the same author!

Perfect.

Such a great story for any age. Loved these characters. Didn't want the book to end. Loved George and all the chaos next door.
