I honestly thought that this book was going to be a romance, but it was so much more than that. I loved the Garrett Family so much. I also loved the relationship between Sam and the family, it was honestly really sweet. Tim was also a very funny and reliable character. I didn't expect to love this book as much as I did. I enjoyed this more than ever.
D R A M A !! Good lord.
I listened to an audiobook version of this while driving all over British Columbia. I like the story, but the narrator does such a god awful job with men's characters, it kind of ruined it for me a bit. Had I physically read it, it may have gotten a solid 4. Either way, I will be reading (or perhaps listening to) the sequel.
one of my favorite romance novels, re reading this whole collection in the wake of fitzpatrick's death

Mini-review: My expectations for My Life Next Door were sky-high. Fitzpatrick took a different course to get there than I thought she would, but she absolutely met them.
