Warning: This is more of an angry and frustrated rant than a proper review. Forewarned is forearmed.

Initial reaction after reading the book


What the hell did I just read? It has to be the crappiest, silliest, the most pathetic book I've EVER read. Urgh! It was like reading the diary entry of a 12 year old teenager obsessesd with her boyfriend, with no fucking priorities at all.

Oh, and just look at the average rating-4.11 Four point fucking one? Seriously people? Why would anyone even bother compl More...

Amber dan Jake punya ayah yang abusive. Suatu malam, saat Amber menangis di tempat tidurnya setelah dipukuli sang ayah, datang seorang bocah lelaki yang menenangkan tangisnya dan menemaninya tidur sampai pagi. Bocah itu adalah Liam, tetangga sebelah rumah juga sahabat Jake.
Cerita maju 8 tahun kemudian.
Orang tua Amber telah berpisah setelah si ayah mencoba memperkosa Amber (untunglah bisa digagalkan oleh Jake dan Liam). Kejadian itu meninggalkan trauma pada Amber. Dia tak nyaman dengan sentuhan b More...

Almost 4 stars... maybe 3.5 :S

"It's always been you; it'll always be you, Angel."

My goodness I felt torn about how to rate this book. There were literally times where I was grinning, and awww-ing and proclaiming my whole-hearted love for the book... but then, there were times where I'd cringe, roll my eyes or want to throttle the characters. I kept going back and forth between 2.5 and 4.5 stars. It was a tough call because the good parts were reeeeally heart-meltingly good but the inconsiste More...

Some books are meant to teach us lesson. Some, to give us information. Others, to provide entertainment. After reading The Boy Who Sneaks in my Bedroom Window , I thought "Where do we put this horrible book?" Because it is neither of the three.

Well, okay. It might provide entertainment for those who seek for this kind of story. But to me it's a big no no. This was a horrible and infuriating read. Kind of insulting to the female and male population who were looked up to be slut and man-whore by t More...

Let me just start off by saying that the max rating this book could have gotten out of me was 4 stars. It lost 1 star automatically for all the grammatical errors (and believe me, there were plenty). I’ve tried to hide all spoilers but a few may have leaked through in the review.

The Boy Who Sneaks in My Bedroom Window sounded so promising to me. A brother and sister are abused by their father. Brother’s best friend sees the sister crying in her bedroom one night when they are young and he climbs More...

Where do I start with this one? I had been seeing a lot interest for this book lately so I thought why not? It was only $3.99 on Amazon and I was desperate to find something to take my mind off of the last book I read.... but nope, this one didn't do it. I REALLY like self published books when they are done right. This book has errors (and big ones too) on just about every single page. This may make me sound like a cheapo, but I don't care, if I spend more than 99 cents for a book, it had better More...

This book was really bad. It wasn't the writing or the grammar mistakes. It was the plot - or better saying, lack of it - that made me stop reading it 20% through.
So Amber is supposed to be a traumatized teen because she had endured abuse from her father up until she was 13. Let me point out here that when I say abuse, I'm talking almost rape, not counting the many years of molestation she endured up until her father tried to rape her. However, Amber is anything but traumatized. She says she is More...

This book is terrible. Absolutely terrible. I had a really long review written which included lots of quotes to back up my opinion, but then my power went out and I lost it (THANKS TROPICAL STORM ISAAC!). I'm re-writing most of it, but I don't feel like digging around my Kindle to get the quotes again. Sorry!

Like I said, this book is terrible. The plot is terrible. The characters are terrible. The writing is terrible. The editing is REALLY terribl More...

Creo que este es uno de mis nuevos favoritos.

Esta historia es todo lo que siempre quise de un libro romántico, todo. En realidad lo amo con cada partecita de mi raro corazón y lo amare por siempre. Desde un principio juzgue a este libro por su portada y su titulo, pero el corazón dibujado en el vidrio es demasiado cursi, asco. No quería leerlo. Pero desde ayer estoy de humor para leer romance hasta que vomite corazones y flores. ¿Por donde empiezo? Bueno, les contare esta es una de esas histori More...

I just cannot bring myself to finish this book! (I truly hate not finishing a book.) It has amazing ratings, so maybe I just expected too much.Since I didn't finish, I will refrain from rating this book, but I'll list a few reasons for abandonment:

1. The heroine, Amber, is incredibly immature, even for a 16 year old. I just found it hard to take her seriously. She is also completely unable to recognize the obviousness of EVERY situation. I felt bad about the abuse she suffered as a child, but I More...

4 STARS out of 5
Genre: Mature YA Romance

The Boy Who Sneaks in my Bedroom Window is an adorable lovestory held by an undertone of darkness. It has teenage Lust, Love, Friendship and Sweet words from a HOT guy that make this book so irresistible. Needless to say I LOVED IT!!!


Amber and Jake Walker live in fear of their abusive father. Just one wrong move can cause him to get angry and go ballistic. One night after an horrific beating eight year old Amber is in her room crying whe More...

After reading this: "Amber is still emotionally scarred from the abuse she suffered at the hands of her father. Together they make an unlikely pair. " I thought it would be an interesting read, knowing how a teenage girl, who had been molested at a young age, would get through it and become a strong, confident young lady.

What did I get?

He groaned and tightened his grip, pulling me so that I was completely on top of him. I could feel his erection pressing between my legs. I gasped at the feel of

What a gorgeous gorgeous book!!! I started reading it in the afternoon and refused to go to sleep until it was finished. I’d like to think that I’m over books set in high school but this book proved me wrong. It had me wrapped around its sweet little ‘fingers’ from beginning to end and I think it had everything to do with the loveable characters. I was looking for an angst-free read and, for most of the book, that is exactly what I got.

The story centres on three characters - Amber, her brother J More...

Going by GR reviews of this book you either love it or you hate it.
I fall into the I loved it category.
Yes it could have been written a little better. More depth to the story. Less cheesiness but I found that it worked for me.
I just took a 13 hr bus trip and struggled to sleep because all I could think about was reading more of this book to know what happens!
……………………………………………………..
Amber and Jake are siblings. Their father was an abusive asshole.
Jake is very overprotective of his sister.

Okay, I feel like I'm committing a crime by giving this story a one star. So, before I get to reviewing this book, I'd like to point out that I'm familiar with this author on wattpad, and am quite fond of her writing style with her other books on wattpad, and a fan. But this particular book didn't do it for me, it felt amateur at best.

I could deal with grammar errors because Hey! Everyone's human. I think reading on wattpad has prepared me to be completely oblivious (selectively so) when it com More...

Awwww I totally loved this book. It has a little bit of everything in it and it all just works. Amber and Jake have both had a really hard life, their father was scum and made sure they never forgot it Amber was traumatized by it, she can not stand the touch of another person other then her mom, Jck and Liam. Jack and his best friend Liam beat their dad up and told him to never come back, the only thing that made Amber keep going and sane and safe was Liam every night since she was 8 he would cr More...

First up, let me say that i read the Wattpad version of this story by Kirsty and i was BLOWN AWAY!!!! Just the type of YA romance that i love! I'm off to Smashwords to buy the edited version of this story but i don't think that it could get any better! A real 5 star read (in my opinion)!! Anyone that enjoys a good YA romance NEEDS to get this!!! When i read the version that Kirsty has published (which is now up on Amazon and Smashwords), i'll leave a proper review!

Congrats, Ms Moseley... the res More...

I really liked the premise of this book, and it’s lucky that I did, because it was so good, I was able to overlook some of the issues that I had with it.

I loved Amber and Liam’s relationship. He has been climbing into her bedroom window every night for 8 years to sleep (platonically) in her bed and comfort her (she has an abusive father). At the beginning of the book their relationship is the usual teasing, bantering and flirting, with Amber not thinking about Liam in ‘that way’ at all because More...

Original review can be found on Read Runner.

I read this book because the synopsis seemed intriguing: Amber and her brother Jake grew up with an abusive father. Years after their father left, Amber is still dealing with the effects of her trauma. Part of her support system is her brother’s best friend, Liam, who comforted her years ago and continues to comfort her nightly.

Unfortunately, the synopsis was so far from reality. I was stunned at how a book marketed as a YA novel had so many sexual ref More...

I can't believe this book is getting 5 star reviews!
i read the book on wattpad and didn't think it was that good even in comparison to the standard of books uploaded to wattpad. The writing style is so amature, the plot isn't structured, the actual setting is confusing due to mix of british and american vocab. AND FOR GOODNESS SAKE, IF SOMEONE HAS PSYCHOLOGICAL PROBLEMS THEY SHOULD SEE A THERAPIST, NOT RELY ON THEIR BOYFRIEND TO SOLVE THEIR PROBLEMS. The fact that she started having sex , and th More...

I am at a complete loss here. And in more ways than one. Goodreads reviews rarely let me down. So when I saw that this book had 4+ rating I was totally on board.
You lie. People of Goodreads. You lie, and you lied good.

The book had a lot of potential. I really liked the idea of after a traumatic life, Ambers neighbor has been coming in and sleeping with her every night. The thought sweet. The story poorly executed.

I need to google this author and find out if the name is a pen name for a 15 year More...

Didn't want to put it down...check! Stomach ache because I was attached to the characters...check! Love story..check! Drama...check!

Reading the reviews, I was worried about reading this book. I don't really see where the reviews were coming from. I honestly didn't think it was that strange for her to connect to Liam. I wasn't like it happened in one day. It was a long progression. The story line isn't easy but it happens all over. It wasn't all happy but when is life? I enjoyed this book. I lov More...

So the boy continuously sneaks in the girl's bedroom window for eight years. They never get caught. Never. Where are the adults?

They can manage to only sleep together while the girl feels the boy's morning glory syndrome every morning. One hell of ignorance they have. Blessed them.

The girl was seriously abused by her father and yet she seems like a very jolly teen. Maybe because she makes every girl in school jealous. You see, she is surrounded by two gorgeous hot ass boys. Hot ass boy #1 is he More...

the story is sweet i could barely breathing.
took 3 hours to finished this XD. am such a book stalker :p
well, this book is about love and tragic loss. GOD how i hate tragic.
love at 1st sight since childhood has always been my favourite.
liam always been in love with amber but amber was too pigheaded to realize that.
all the stupid things he does is .. SWEET ! i really could die happily when a guy (like liam) do the same thing to me and then he said he love me since long ago. where the heck i could More...

This book was really hard for me to rate because I truly enjoyed the story. I really want to give it a 4 but I feel like it is a 3.75…close to a 4 but not a true 4 mostly due to the writing style and inconsistencies.
I loved where the story went and how it all unfolded. The plot/storyline had so much potential to be a 5 star for me, but just fell short of mostly because of the dialogue. It seemed almost a little too immature at times and somewhat unbelievable. The book started out so strong with More...

"It’s always been you; it’ll always be you, Angel."
The highest form of flattery - calling a woman angel. *happy-sigh*

I know what you’re thinking but take your mind out of the gutter right now! This is not about boys sneaking in windows for the naughty-naughty!..Okay there is some later on, I'll admit..But the point is! - It is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen described on paper. Having me wrapped around its sweet little finger from beginning to end and I think it had everything More...

The Boy Who Sneaks in my Bedroom Window by Kirsty Mesely is an adorable book that I could not put down! I read the book in one long sitting. The book deals with child abuse but also falling in love for the first time.

Amber is 16 years-old and is trying to move past being abused and sexy abused by her father who has since left town. Amber lives with her older brother Jake and their mother (who is never there, due to her work schedule and travelin More...
