A gorgeous debut about family, friendship, first romance, and how to be true to one person you love without betraying another
“One thing my mother never knew, and would disapprove of most of all, was that I watched the Garretts. All the time.”
The Garretts are everything the Reeds are not. Loud, numerous, messy, affectionate. And every day from her balcony perch, seventeen-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?
A dreamy summer read, full of characters who stay with you long after the story is over.

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.
Me ha parecido una historia con un romance muy real. Y echaba de menos eso. Los arcos evolutivos de los personajes están muy bien desarrollados y hay lo justo de drama. La única pega que le pongo es que ha habido algunas escenas que se me han hecho algo lentas. Tengo mil ganas de leer más a esta autora.
one of my favorite romance novels, re reading this whole collection in the wake of fitzpatrick's death
