Summary:

Four p.m. spy sessions are the highlight of Mallory Taylor’s day. Observing the boy next door—one with a body and an attitude to match—has her perched beside her window so often it can’t be healthy.

When she finally convinces her mom to let her go to public school, Mallory comes face to face with her neighbor, Troy Parker. And he makes it clear he wants nothing to do with her. His rejection awakens a newfound tenacity and maybe even a touch of recklessness. But when Troy starts to show up when she needs him the most, Mallory can’t help but wonder if there’s more to him than he’s let on.

Taking chances, breaking rules, and following her heart is all new to Mallory. And no one warned her just how fickle hearts can be. When she discovers that Troy isn’t at all the guy she imagined him to be, secrets rise to the surface that will change her life forever.

*This is a standalone mature YA/new adult contemporary romance. 

My Thoughts:

The synopsis of this book sounded pretty good, as I got into the book it fell flat for me. I just couldn’t get into it enough to enjoy it. I think it was the fact that the story is about Mallory spying on her neighbor. I found this book to be a tad creepy.

This book follows Mallory who has had a crush on her next door neighbor for quite a while. When she finally enrolls in school for her senior year because she was homeschooled till then. She notices that there is more to Troy then she thought.

I was disappointed with this book because I thought that it was going to be a great read, I was just annoyed with it most of the time.
