Tim Mason was The Boy Most Likely To:
- find the liquor cabinet blindfolded
- need a liver transplant
- 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 the “smart” choice is always the right one. When these two crash into each other, they crash hard.

Then the unexpected consequences of Tim’s wild days come back to shock him. He finds himself in a situation that isn’t all it appears to be, that he never could have predicted . . . but maybe should have.

And Alice is caught in the middle.

Told in Tim’s and Alice’s distinctive, disarming, entirely compelling voices, this return to the world of My Life Next Door is a story about failing first, trying again, and having to decide whether to risk it all once more.

Chapter 2: (view spoiler)[ I think this is going to be a cute read. Oh how I have missed you, Tim. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 10: (view spoiler)[ "I've never seen someone so big cry like that. It was kind of like when the Cowardly Lion cries." Aww...George, I could hug you all day. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 24: (view spoiler)[ I love George. He gets the best lines such as "That must have been some party." George sighs. "All I ever get to take home is a bunch of gum and Super Balls and squirt guns and stuff." (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 36: (view spoiler)[ This is the funniest quote ever! "The longest kiss was fifty-eight hours. Do you think they did that without drinking water? Wouldn't they die, Alice? How'd they pee?" George, I remember why you were my favourite character of My Life Next Door. Cute, innocence, and funny. (hide spoiler)]

Ending Thoughts: (view spoiler)[ I loved this book. It was about failing first, trying again, and having to decide to risk it all once more. I thought the concept was grasp beautifully and this was an amazing addition to My Life Next Door! (hide spoiler)]

chapter 1 (view spoiler)[ getting fired from 5 jobs is bad! (hide spoiler)]

Sarah wrote: "chapter 1 [spoilers removed]"

Yep!

changing pov without them warning you is irritating.

How are you supposed to know who is speaking in each chapter?

chapter 5 (view spoiler)[ how many kids do these people have? and she's pregnant again?! (hide spoiler)]

This is pretty dull, think I'll do the ironing instead.

Sarah wrote: "changing pov without them warning you is irritating."

It's annoying.

Sarah wrote: "This is pretty dull, think I'll do the ironing instead."

You know it's bad when ironing sounds appealing!

I'm pretty bored if it too.

chapter 10 (view spoiler)[ not a nice breakup. (hide spoiler)]

chapter 30 (view spoiler)[ baby, blah, blah, blah, baby, blah, blah, blah... is anything actually going to happen? (hide spoiler)]

Can I get this reset for August 20th? Please and Thanks!

Going to start this now I think 😉

I'll be starting this after I finish

Chapter 7 (view spoiler)[ I'm enjoying this already. I feel so bad for Mr. Garret. He was such a great dad. He needs to get better. And I don't like Brad, he needs to go. Tim's dad is also an asshole. (hide spoiler)]

I started this today as well, I forgot how huge the Garrett family was, love those kids!
I'll take a look at your spoiler when I'm not on the app, I think I'm about to hit a major spoiler :-)

Andrea wrote: "Chapter 7 [spoilers removed]"

Agree about Brad, what a joke!

Up to chapter 24(view spoiler)[ what a big shock for Tim, and I think this Hester girl is up to no good.... don't most adoptions take place at the hospital right after the babies born? Something is off about her story for sure (hide spoiler)]

We're at about the same spot. I'm at chapter 20 now. But I probably won't read more until later.

I had forgot they had so many kids from last book, I feel bad for poor Alice, that's a lot for a 19-year-old....

Berit☀️✨ wrote: "Up to chapter 24[spoilers removed]"

I agree. She's weird, I don't trust her.

Chapter 25 (view spoiler)[ Seems like everything was going right and then disaster! Why isn't Grace paying for Mr. Garret's bills anymore. This is ridiculous, they should go to the press. I want Tim and Alice to be cute and help each other ugh. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 34 (view spoiler)[ I hate Tim's dad. He's an ass. Ugh. And what is Nan doing with Tim's old dealer, why is she being so suspicious!? I hope what Tim said to Grace made her question her choices and help pay for Mr. Garrett's bills again. She needs to take responsibility for her own actions. I HAVE SO MANY FEELINGS ABOUT ALICE AND TIM!!! Also what Brad said was super super creepy!!! (hide spoiler)]

I am on chapter 43 and(view spoiler)[ i'm so glad Alice confronted grace, and I feel so bad for Tim, not sure what the best outcome is, but what a crappy thing to go through.... thought that Hester was up to no good and I was right, what a witch (hide spoiler)]

I'm on 39! I'll get online and update soon, on the app right now.

Wish you could read spoilers on the app, I'm on the app now as well, so I need to read your spoilers :-)

Hahah I know right!? The app is so convenient but then can't do what we really need it too.

I just finished 43. And I agree with your spoiler completely and I'm dying to know (view spoiler)[ if Tim is actually the father or not. If he is I really think he should do an open adoption with either Somers and his partner or maybe even Dominic! I want those guys to be happy and for Tim to be able to see Cal again. MUST KNOW! Also,
Patsy being jealous of Alice and Cal was the cutest!!! <3 (hide spoiler)]

Same!

I finished!! And I loved it omg

Just finished myself and(view spoiler)[ I was sad Tim was not the Dad, but I think ultimately this is the better situation, and I was thinking that that was who was going to adopt Calvin, Tim and Alice are very cute together, very well matched for one another, they both are old souls in young bodies it seems (hide spoiler)]

I agree!!!
