Synopsis:
A dreamy young adult romance where a teenager falls for the one boy who is off limits: the boy next door.
“It’s the novel’s tender, awkward, sexy, dizzy-happy portrayal of first love that really makes it soar.”—The Horn Book
“An almost perfect summer romance [that] will have every girl who reads the novel wishing for a Jase of her own.”—Kirkus Reviews
Which way do you turn when your heart pulls you two ways?
The Garretts are everything the Reeds are not. Loud, numerous, messy, affectionate. And every day from her rooftop perch, seventeen-year-old Samantha Reed wishes she were one of them . . . and then one summer evening, Jase Garrett climbs her trellis and changes everything. As the two fall fiercely in love, Jase’s family embraces Samantha, even as she keeps him a secret from her own. Then, in an instant, her two worlds collide in an unthinkable tragedy that leaves Samantha reeling and forced to make an impossible decision—one that no one could have seen coming. A dreamy, enthralling summer read, full of romance and characters who stay with you long after the last page.
About the Author: Huntley Fitzpatrick always wanted to be a writer. She grew up in a small, coastal, Connecticut town much like the Stony Bay of her novels, My Life Next Door, What I Thought Was True, and The Boy Most Likely To. After college she held multiple jobs across publishing—including as an editor at Harlequin, where she worked with a variety of romance authors—and, ultimately, embarked on a writing career of her own. Before her death in 2022, Huntley was a full-time writer, wife, and mom to six children, living on the coast of Massachusetts. She brought the world three critically acclaimed, utterly transporting young adult novels about love, friendship, family, and coming of age. My Life Next Door is considered a modern YA romance classic, and its characters reflect Huntley’s deep love for her family, who were everything to her.
