A SHORT HISTORY OF THE GIRL NEXT DOOR by Jared Reck (January 20, 2018)
This book surprised me. I hadn't read much about it so I dove in blindly. It is about a teenager, Matty, who is in love with his "best friend", Tabby. She is his next door neighbor and they have grown up together. He is a typical teenager who goes to school, plays basketball and has a little brother. The love he feels is not reciprocated and the story centers around if or when Matty will tell Tabby what he is feeling. Tabby soon begins dating one of Matty's basketball teammates and this complicates what happens next. This book really dug down deep to show raw emotions and reactions. The relationship between family members was genuine and integral to the story. I love that it had unexpected twists. If you enjoy young adult fiction, this should be your next read.
