It was heartwarming and heartbreaking in the best ways, and reminded me why I love the contemporary genre so much. Huntley Fitzpatrick still hasn’t disappointed me yet.

He finds himself in a situation that he never could have predicted…but maybe should have. Then the unexpected consequences of Tim’s wild days come back to haunt him. When these two crash into each other, they crash hard. But Tim has never been known for making the smart choice, and Alice is starting to wonder if “smart” is always right. For Alice, nothing could be scarier than falling for Tim. Well, not date her little brother’s baggage burdened best friend, for startersįor Tim, it wouldn’t be smart to fall for Alice.(Aug.Alice Garrett was The Girl Most Likely To: Agent: Christina Hogrebe, Jane Rotrosen Agency. Not every conflict gets resolved, but readers will sense that the Garretts and newcomer Tim will surpass their obstacles and thrive. The well-defined characters, splashes of humor, and emotional entanglements of Fitzpatrick's previous works reappear in full force in this contemporary romance.
Tim appears to be turning over a new leaf, but when the serious consequences of Tim's wild days come crashing down, it threatens to compromise Tim's plans for the future and destroy his blossoming romance with Alice. She cannot help but be irritated when her brother's screw-up buddy, Tim, gets kicked out of his house and usurps her one place of refuge, the apartment above the garage. When the story begins, eldest daughter Alice is overwhelmed by the responsibilities of working at her parents' hardware store, chauffeuring her siblings around town, and tackling the family's mounting bills while her father is in the hospital. Fitzpatrick returns to the theme of opposites uniting in this heartfelt companion to My Life Next Door (2012), which revisits the large, boisterous Garrett family.
