Review:

I’m not sure how to rate “A Short History of the Girl Next Door.”  If I say too much, it will take away from the surprise.  I can say that it was a roller coaster of emotions that takes the reader from crying with laughter to ugly sobbing with heartbreak within the span of just a few pages.  If you’re ready for some strong feels and a story that will stay with you long after you are finished, then I recommend it.
