                                                                My Life Next Door

                                                                By: Huntley Fitzpatrick 

This is a fantastic book about friendship, family, first love and trust.  

My Life Next Door is the kind of story that you expect to be light and fluffy but then it surprises you.
I thought this book would be very cliché: little rich girl falls for the boy next door; gets a whole new perspective on life through the eyes of a financially-strained, but very happy — unlike her own — family; but she learns so much about her self and her family.

 Something bad happens with her mom and her boyfriend that threatens a life of Jase's  family member and when she finds out the truth she has to do the right thing. Is it to keep her moms secret or tell the truth and jeopardize her  relationship.

This book is an auto biography. I have not read a lot of them. I saw the movie trailer for this book and I was very interested. It drew me in and I wanted to know more! So I picked up the book and read it so I could compare it to the movie, I like to read the book before I see the movie.

I am a little less than half way through this book. I don't normally like war books but this one is very good! I like how when he uses military terms he put in parentheses what it means.

I am dying to know what happens to the people in the prologue. It stopped on a cliff hanger. I think he will shoot them because they were dangerous. But you never know. I recommend this book to everyone. So far its a good read.

Tell the Wolves I'm Home 
  

I finished the book and I loved it. I recommend this book to everyone. The book had great vocabulary. Since my last post I found about all my questions and it totally was worth it! I don't want to give the book away incase you want to read it! Lets just say there were lots of secrets kept and lots of the characters overcame or are working on their problems. I like how the title relates to the painting Finn painted of the girls, June and Greta! I really enjoyed this book. You should read it!

Tell the Wolves I'm Home

By: Carol Rifka Brunt

  

 What I think of this book so far....

I am really enjoying this book. June, one of the main characters just read the letter her dead uncle Finn wrote for her. Finn died of AIDS and the letter basically said take care of Toby ( his boyfriend) he is lonely he needs you to be his friend. Toby and June are going through a hard time because they miss Finn. I think it is a little weird that June is in love with her uncle and how she gets jealous of Toby. There are lots of things about Toby and Finn that June didn't know about, she only saw Toby after the funeral and her parents told her to stay away from him. June also has problems with her sister. Her sister was jealous of her and Finns relationship. There is lots of jealousy going on between characters. I can't wait to read more and find out what happens.
