Amber is still emotionally scarred from the abuse she suffered at the hands of her father. Together they make an unlikely pair. Their relationship has always been a rocky one, but what happens when Amber starts to view her brother's best friend a little differently? And how will her brother, who has always been a little overprotective, react when he finds out that the pair are growing closer? Find out in The Boy Who Sneaks In My Bedroom Window.

I read this book for the first time when it was still on Wattpad back in 2012. I love Kirsty Moseley. She is a fantastic author and I will always follow her because she is great. When I found out TBWSIMBW was on sale for only .99 cents, I knew I had to buy it so I 1-clicked it and started reading immediately. The reason why I got it was because I remembered this book would put me in a good mood when I would read it before (I read it like 3 times). I wasn't having a good night so I bought this, knowing it would lighten up my mood and that's what it did.

Amber and Liam have known each other since Amber was 4 and Liam was 6. Amber had an abusive father and Liam knew about it. One night, he sneaked in Amber's window and lied down with her on her bed and both fell asleep. This happened for two weeks straight and they both realized they needed each other in order to sleep through the night. Now Amber is 16 and Liam is 18 and their nightly routine hasn't stopped. Even though they are sweet to one another at night, by day time, all they do is annoy one another. Amber only sees Liam as her brother's best friend but Liam has always loved his Angel. (If you want to know the amazing story of why Liam calls Amber Angel, you have to read the story.)

I love this story. The characters aren't annoying, which I love. Most of the characters have their funny moments and serious moments so there's a balance. The plot is engaging—the story keeps you wanting to keep reading until the end. I had forgotten why Liam calls Amber "Angel" and when I got to that part of the story, I started awww'ing a lot and got reminded of why I love this story so much. I know some readers say that Amber gave it up too soon to Liam, but in my mind, she didn't. Yes, she had been abused by her father and wouldn't let anyone touch her, but as she mentioned, the only people she felt comfortable with touching her are her brother, her mom and Liam. And even then, she would stop Liam a bunch of times before they actually went all the way.

I love stories that have a player in it that falls in love but there aren't many stories out there that are good in this area...they really suck. It's hard to find a player story that is done well and Kirsty did it eloquently. I fell once more for the characters.

Liam James, boy next door and total douchebag, is my brother’s best friend. I can’t stand him. Well, that’s not strictly true, at night I see a side of him that no one else does. Every night Liam becomes my safe haven, my protector, the one to chase the demons of my abusive childhood away and hold all the broken pieces of me together. He’s cocky, he’s arrogant, and he’s also some sort of playboy in training. With his ‘hit it and quit it’ mentality, he’s the last person you’d want to fall in love with. I only wish someone had told my heart that… The international bestselling novel, and finalist of the Goodreads choice awards YA fiction 2012.

I'm conflicted on reviewing this book. It was a fast and interesting read but when all was said and done, it could have been so much better. The characters weren't well developed, the storyline was great at first but turned extremely bizarre and while I feel the author has a lot of promise, the writing was choppy.

Surprisingly very enjoyable. The plot had a lot of depth and I thought the various themes were developed well. It's a very character driven story so if you're into that like I am then you'll most likely enjoy this. There are various themes of abuse that are at times very graphic so do bear that in mind if you do decide to give this a read. It was a particularly hard hitting and emotional read. Although I acknowledge that the writing had it's problems at times but overall I can't fault it because the author did a great job at keeping me interested in what was happening and wanting to read more. Some of the plot wasn't spaced particularly well and it went from loads of things happening to a whole lot of nothing. But I would recommend giving it a read.

1.5 stars. Look the only thing I really liked about the book is the story line idea. I don’t love the writing style of the book. Now this style may be your thing and that’s amazing I hope you enjoy the book but personally I wouldn’t read it again

-sigh-

I guess I'll start off by saying this is the most unrealistically cheesy book I've ever read. 
It was hard to get through each page, the reason being that it felt like the book was written by a 14 year old. 

“As we stepped out of Liam’s car at school, we were swamped by the usual hoard of girls wanting to paw Jake and Liam. I rolled my eyes as Jessica pushed her way to the front and wrapped her dirty little arms round my boyfriend’s waist, looking at him with her come to bed eyes."

This supposedly happens every single day at school. I laughed the first time it was described and after that I felt like ripping my hair out. The writing style of this book was entirely too frustrating and childlike. 
The main characters's relationships seemed very fake and forced. 

“Why the heck would you make a bowl and pretend to eat it? Do you like to piss me off?” I asked, annoyed.
“No, Angel. I like to make you breakfast,” he said simply.
I gasped at the revelation. He made them for me? “You make them for me? Every day?” I asked, my mouth hanging open, shocked”

-GASP- 
OH SHIT! He makes you breakfast everyday, one second you hate him and the next you love him. One second you say you're not ready for any kind of physical relationship and the next your humping him on the couch. 

But what was, by far, the most frustrating thing to me: Her father abused her in every way possible and they never took her to a shrink. She never got to deal with her horrible childhood and she just jumped into her relationship with Liam. Same goes for her brother Jake that I just didn't get at all. 

Overall this book was just a horrible experience for me.

Like many others who have posted reviews on this site, I have absolutely. No. Idea. how anyone could rate this 4 or 5 stars. It's terrible. It's poorly edited. It's boring. The dialogue is awful. The characters are immature and unbelievable. AWFUL. I actually refuse to finish it - something that rarely happens. It just isn't worth torturing myself with this drivel. 

Don't waste your time. Seriously.
