But I got used to it and found myself REALLY liking the book. I mean, a whole story read through emails, I wasn’t sure.

Tasha: My first impression, hmmm…well, after reading the first 5 to 6 emails, I began to wonder if I could actually finish this. What were your first impressions of the book? She never fails to write those books that just entertain the socks off of you. I thought it would be interesting to discuss this book with her so here we are.Īlright Tasha, it didn’t take me very long to read this book and when I finally finished it, I was reminded why I love Meg Cabot so much. It’s a book that is near and dear to my heart (because duh, it’s Meg Cabot) but it was new read for Tasha. Our first buddy review book was The Boy Next Door by Meg Cabot. So because we read a lot of the same books and because Book Binge is never far from my mind, I asked Tasha to buddy review a book with me each month for Book Binge and just like that, we were off. Rowena: I went to breakfast with my friend Tasha a couple of weeks ago and we spent most of our breakfast discussing the books we were reading.

Mel starts paying closer attention to her neighbors-what exactly is going on with the cute boy next door? Has Mel found the love of her life-or a killer? But things get interesting fast when the old lady next door is nearly murdered.

Gossip columnist and single New York City girl Mel lives lives in the most exciting place in the world, yet she’s bored with her lovelife. Rowena and Tasha’s joint review of The Boy Next Door (Boy #1) by Meg Cabot.
