The Boy Next Door by Meg Cabot

This was another book by the same author of Abandon and Underworld that I just read.  I thought I'd try another, this one wasn't up to par with the Abandon trilogy.  It is a young adult novel. The plot or storyline was pretty generic, we've already heard this story before.  It's just with different characters.  While reading this I could've pictured this as part of a TV sitcom episode or a corny romantic comedy movie.  It's about a country girl who made the big move to New York to make it big in journalism.  She's a writer for a gossip column in a New York newspaper.  Events happen and she's thrown into an unsuspecting relationship with a man named John who is suppose to be Max Friendlander, a popular photographer.  She doesn't know his true identity and the whole book is about them falling in love with each other and him trying to figure out when to tell her who he really is.  Of course she ends up finding out about him lieing to her before he can tell her and it goes down hill but ends up having a happy ending. Yay.  It was kinda corny for me but then I usually don't read these types of books!  If you're into chik-lit this book would be for you.  The other thing I didn't really like was that the whole book is written in emails.  Absolutely no dialogue or normal writing.  EVERYTHING is emails.  Happy Reading!! I'm excited to be on to my next book!
