“Oh, Huntley Fitzpatrick. You always know how to give my feminist heart a little romance.”—Bustle
“A mesmerizing romance between two teens, completely lost in opposite ways, who find themselves in each other.”—Jennifer Echols, award-winning author of Forget You
Tim Mason was The Boy Most Likely To:
• find the liquor cabinet blindfolded
• need a liver transplant
• and drive his car into a house
Alice Garrett was The Girl Most Likely To:
• well, not date her little brother’s baggage-burdened best friend, for starters
For Tim, it wouldn’t be smart to fall for Alice. For Alice, nothing could be scarier than falling for Tim. But Tim has never been known for making the smart choice, and Alice is starting to wonder if “smart” is always right. Soon they find themselves moving closer to each other—until the consequences of Tim’s wild past come back to haunt him. With all Alice has to balance in her own world, is she sure she can handle Tim’s too?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Fitzpatrick returns to the theme of opposites uniting in this heartfelt companion to My Life Next Door (2012), which revisits the large, boisterous Garrett family. When the story begins, eldest daughter Alice is overwhelmed by the responsibilities of working at her parents' hardware store, chauffeuring her siblings around town, and tackling the family's mounting bills while her father is in the hospital. She cannot help but be irritated when her brother's screw-up buddy, Tim, gets kicked out of his house and usurps her one place of refuge, the apartment above the garage. Tim appears to be turning over a new leaf, but when the serious consequences of Tim's wild days come crashing down, it threatens to compromise Tim's plans for the future and destroy his blossoming romance with Alice. The well-defined characters, splashes of humor, and emotional entanglements of Fitzpatrick's previous works reappear in full force in this contemporary romance. Not every conflict gets resolved, but readers will sense that the Garretts and newcomer Tim will surpass their obstacles and thrive. Ages 14 up.
