My Life Next Door

Product Information

By the end of the novel, she is more concerned with doing what she believes is right rather than what she thinks is expected of her. What I mean is that I have no clue about why this (wonderfully profound as always) sentence is blush worthy.

Sam’s mother is Senator Reed, running for re-election, so the truth can’t com out because of her campaign, but you know what? Teen MC really get me angry when they don't have a little attitude and listen to everything their parents say like some dogs.

However, throughout the course of the novel, the friendship between Jase and Tim grows to the extent that Tim finds a support system within Jase's family. I know that when you fall in love you think that you deserve happiness (and you probably do), and when something so dark comes upon your love you need to have all the luck on your side to make things right again. Her voice wasn't very strong in my head while I was reading and that made me lack invested emotions in the book. She was also such sweet, gentle character that was focused on doing the right things and making the right choices.

Especially as they are such a close family, I think it would've made it more realistic if Jase wasn't as nonchalant about what his sisters were doing etc. The only downside is that I felt like the ending left a bit to be desired – I still have a few questions that never got answered about Nan and Tim and Alice and the Garrett family as a whole. As the two fall fiercely for each other, stumbling through awkwardness and awesomeness of first love, something unthinkable happens and Samantha's world starts crumbling. I have an older brother who is extremely protective and so are some of my friends' brothers concerning them.If Fitzpatrick's future heroines turn out to be even a tenth as good as Sam was, I'm in for a real treat. The family who moved in ten years ago, but whom Samantha still hasn't been able to talk to, due to her mom's disapproval of the Garret's raucous behavior. Title: The Declaration Author: Gemma Malley Genre: Young Adult, Dystopian Publication: October 2nd 2007, Bloomsbury Pages: 304 pages Source: Library book Anna Covey is a ‘Surplus’. On one side there is Samantha's family which is small, organized, and well managed, then there is Jase's family which is large, chaotic, and sometimes out-of-control. At the end, I felt like I’d been deprived of that opportunity as the book purely focused on the relationship between Sam and Jase.
