Forbidden Boy, by Hailey Abbott

Julianne is an average girl that is looking forward to her senior year in high school. Her family lives near the beach and she enjoys spending her time swimming and tanning. The only thing that bugs her are her new next door neighbors that are trying to make Julianne's family move, because they want to build something. Julianne meets a boy that she is very much attracted to, but soon after she finds out that he is the son of her unpleasant neighbors. So what should she do? Should she keep talking to him or will that bring her and her family more trouble?

Forbidden Boy, by Hailey Abbott is a great book about life changes. Not only that, but it also teaches you how to make good decisions and how to decide what is best for you and what is not. Also, how to not be selfish and think about your family as well as yourself. Julianne has a big decision to make. What should she do? In my opinion she should stay with they guy and just talk to her family about it. It is not their fault that their parents cannot get along. They really have nothing to do with it and they can't do anything about it.
