The Boy Next Door by Jenny Ireland
4.0

I loved this!! What a wonderful concept like friends to strangers reinvented! I love that Jenny Irelands YA romances feel real, they don’t feel like they are relying on tropes to pull them together, they are just honest portrayals of what teenagers struggle with. I challenge anyone to pick up TBND or TFM and not tell me they empathise with some aspect of the characters struggle. Yes, I think the final act could use some tightening, but no book is ever doing to be perfect. I loved this!!
