The Boy Next Door was a cute, feel-good book. Written entirely through e-mails between the characters, the story is a good one that keeps you reading with it's humor, clever format, and a bit of mystery. 
 I give this book 4 /5 stars because it is a clean, clever story. I'm rating it in comparison to other books like it-- not great works of literature. For what it is, it was a book I enjoyed and will likely remember for a while.
