The girl next door by Selene Castrovilla Blog Tour & Giveaway

ABOUT THE GIRL NEXT DOOR

eBook Publication Date: May 24, 2013
      Two teens are forced to make some very grown-up decisions when one of them is diagnosed with terminal cancer, twisting them into an unpredictable nightmare. Best friends since toddlerhood, Samantha and Jesse grapple with the realization that they are actually in love. What now? Beautifully written while handling a very heavy topic, Castrovilla addresses the universal question: In a world where the worst can strike at any time, how can we ever feel safe?

Review-

I am normally a paranormal romance reader but when i saw the cover of this book it just made me intrigued about the story.  Im glad it did! This turned out to be a love story that will transcend time. i don't have cancer nor do I know anyone that has had cancer so that part of the book was a learning lesson for me. The book is well written and well executed and the storyline draws you in, I was drawn in from page one. It is a young love story that i was drawn into. The main characters are relate able and very believable. The side characters are believeable also. Not once did I catch my self questioning the parenting in this book. If you want a really whole hearted real love story then this book is for you! I highly recommend this book to anyone. It is a nice change from the paranormal genre.

The AVM Foundation Mission:

The Mission of The Anthony V. Mannino Foundation is to financially assist young adults in the age group of 18-26 while they are undergoing their cancer treatment.  We also want to help development support programs to aid this unique age group, with their special needs, as they battle cancer. 

We found that Anthony's age group of 18 plus, doesn't have the emotional or financial support that other age groups do. We are also aware of the unique situations that this age group faces and want to help those adolescents and their families.
