A Short History of the Girl Next Door - Paperback

How does someone go from being the person you've seen practically every day forever to the person whose goofy grin suddenly makes your heart forget how to work?

Yeah. Matt knows exactly how ridiculous that sounds. Like the opening scene of a really bad movie.

Unfortunately, Matt Wainwright's life comes with an overdramatic movie director living in his head. He can't tell his best friend, Tabby, how he really feels, he's imploding on the JV basketball team, and the only place he feels remotely normal is English class, discussing great fart scenes in literature and writing poems about candy-cane lumberjacks.

If this were a movie, Matt would get the girl. Instead, Tabby falls for senior basketball star Liam Branson, and Matt risks losing his best friend altogether. Then a tragic accident leaves him on the sidelines and spiraling toward losing everything that matters most.
