    A young NYC newspaper writer falls for her next-door neighbor's nephew, but he may not be who he appears to be. Told entirely by emails, letters and a newspaper story.

    The Boy Next Door is a hilarious and very fast read. I literally read it in less than a day. The sequal (Boy Meets Girl) I did not find quite as good, but that may be because I had read this one first. The format (all told in email) was very different than other books I've read and this is definately one you want to read to take your mind of deep thoughts and intense novels. Meg Cabot's books just all seem to be very good and worth the money and time spent!

    Another great story by the author of the Princess Diaries. This is one of her "grown up" books but it's clean so anyone can read it.

    This was another of Meg Cabot's books written entirely in e-mails. It was cute, and not completely predictable, which is a nice change of pace for chick lit. It was a nice quick read. Without the chapters, it's really easy to put the book down and then pick it back up on any page.

    Very cute book! I loved the way it was written entirely in email form. That made it very fun to read. Very funny! Highly recommended if you want a fun book that entertains but doesn't require much thought. Great for the beach or just relaxing and vegging out.

    What a clever book! This is a cute, funny, light romantic comedy-type novel all told through a series of emails. Just one more great book from Meg Cabot!

    Very cute and a quick read. Told all through emails it follows a gossip columnist when her neighbor ends up in the hospital.

    From the author of The Princess Diaries comes her debut adult contemporary book. Includes humor, romance, cooking tips, Great Danes, heroines in peril, and dolphin-shaped driftwood sculptures.

    I questioned reading a book that was all in email format but it was great!! It was as if you are reading through someone's personal email box and that made the book very intriguing.

    This was a cute book. I liked the format it was in - kinda like reading someone else's emails. Of course, who doesn't love a happy ending?

    What a fun read. The format took a little to get used to as it is all in emails. I would recomend this to any one who likes a light fun read.

    This is a typical example of the new genre called Chic Lit. It is light reading, fast moving, easy to understand, and entertaining, but not juvenile. The book is about a journalist for the NY Journal and her day to day life with her coworkers. She is a very feisty gal who you will be very fond from the beginning. The entire book is written in the format of Emails between Mel and her coworkers, who include, her best friend, the food critic, her boss, the office gossip, a openly gay office employee, and others. She meets Mr. Right under the most unusual cirmcumstances and though they are both are crazy about the other, the relationship is strained from the beginning because the boyfriend has misrepresented himself from the beginning. The plot of the story leads the reader thru the development of their relationship, and the predicament of how they deal with the discovery of the initial deception. I highly recommend this book for a fun, refreshingly light hearted book with a good ending.

    This quick read is perfect for any chick lit fan. Cabot manages to take a difficult format and make it engaging, romantic, and interesting.

    Very cute and an easy read. It consists of emails between co-workers and friends.

    I really loved this book. It was a quick (1 day) read for me, but it was worth the read. It's written in email form and is very entertaining.
