My Life Next Door by Huntley Fitzpatrick
5.0
When I first I heard about this book, I really want to read it. When I saw the cover, I knew I must have it. Since I live in Argentina, it was difficult to find it but after months, MONTHS!, finally it was in stock at Kel Ediciones.
I wanted to read it slowly, enjoy every minute of it but once I started, I couldn't put it down. So this morning, at 4am, I finished it. I read it in one go and I am not even sorry. This is probably one of the best written novels I have read lately. I am not even putting it under the "YA" label because I truly believe everybody, not matter their age, will love this book.
It was wonderful to see Sam and Jase's relationship progress. And for her to became the person she always was but wouldn't due to her mother. She found truly independece and a sense of who she really is, with or without Jase.
I loved everything about the Garretts. EVERYTHING. And you will have to read the book in order to know what I mean because there's no other way around it. I can't begin to talk about them without make this a 10 pages essay.
I wanted to bitch slap Clay the minute he enter the picture and I was truly dissapointed in Sam's mother. But I guess the point was to make our leading lady realize her mother was human. Hence she can make mistakes, misjudge people and not always be right. By the end of the book, I didn't sense any change in Sam's mother. It just didn't see like she had grown but she's an adult, set in her ways, and it was Sam who needed to grow up and out of her mother's grip.
This is book is one of those you need to re-read, because reading it once just isn't enough!
