Summary
Everyone has three lives。 A public life， a private life， and a secret life。
I’m a junior in high school， and yet， I’ve never been on a date。
Everybody says it's because my overprotective brothers scare all the guys away， but I can't help wondering if there's something wrong with me。
That is， until I hear a rumor that I’m secretly dating my brothers’ best friend。
What？
Sure， I used to think Mack was the most perfect guy in the universe， but I got over that crush years ago。
And even though he teases my brothers about taking me to Make-Out Point， there’s no way he’d actually make good on that threat。 I’ve only ever been the dorky girl next door to him。
But when Mack’s sleepwalking episodes lead him to staying a few nights on the trundle bed in my room and we talk and share things we never tell anyone else， I start to wonder if a secret relationship is exactly what I want。
My brothers have made it clear that Mack is never allowed near me。 But what my brothers don’t know can’t hurt them， right？

This story really was one of a kind， adorable， and a must read！！ Mack is a 6 foot 5 inch basketball player that has problems sleepwalking。 He has walked through the woods， swam with the fishies， and slept in other peoples beds。 Which leads to Cambrielle taking care of him。Cambrielle had a crush on Mack till he started joking about dating her。 Him being not serious stung and really put a damper on her feelings。 So she ends up having a crush on someone that looks a lot like him， Ben。I absolutely c This story really was one of a kind， adorable， and a must read！！ Mack is a 6 foot 5 inch basketball player that has problems sleepwalking。 He has walked through the woods， swam with the fishies， and slept in other peoples beds。 Which leads to Cambrielle taking care of him。Cambrielle had a crush on Mack till he started joking about dating her。 Him being not serious stung and really put a damper on her feelings。 So she ends up having a crush on someone that looks a lot like him， Ben。I absolutely cherish this story， there was a lot of parts that hit home for me。 It really is a treasure to read。 I thank the author for the ARC！ It’s well worth reading！！ I can’t wait for the next story in the series！ 。。。more

This one will grab you and not let go。 Great story of true friendships and how much we need friends when the hard things in life come。 It was also really funny！ So if that’s important to you in a book this one is for you！ As always I can’t wait for the next book！ I was totally not in the mood to read in the YA genre when I started this one but it one me over before I could even finish the first chapter。 You just can’t help being emotionally attached to everyone in this world。

I was so excited to get to read this book after reading the first book in the series。 I couldn’t stop reading it because it just had it all。 This is a brothers best friends/neighbour YA romance and is the second book in this series。 It had all the feels， I went from laughing to crying in a matter of minutes。 I loved the relationship development between cambrielle and Mack。 Even when they had known each other all their lives it wasn’t until Mack was asked a favour that things changed it all。 The I was so excited to get to read this book after reading the first book in the series。 I couldn’t stop reading it because it just had it all。 This is a brothers best friends/neighbour YA romance and is the second book in this series。 It had all the feels， I went from laughing to crying in a matter of minutes。 I loved the relationship development between cambrielle and Mack。 Even when they had known each other all their lives it wasn’t until Mack was asked a favour that things changed it all。 The more time they spent together the more it just felt natural and easy and I felt every sort of emotional like I was there watching it unfold。 I was left crying quiet a bit in some moments where I was sobbing so I recommend a tissue box。 I love reading a book where the perfect girl is right in front of the male character and it takes something to change the perspective。 This book has to be one of my favorite books of Judy Corry’s and I cannot wait to read more of this series。 I received an arc to give an honest opinions 。。。more

Judy Corry's talent for writing addictive mature YA stories is unsurpassed。 This clean read is filled with loveable characters and dramatic storylines， Eden Falls Academy is a must read series！I love this brother's best friend/friends to more story。 Shy Cambrielle was in middle school when she first started crushing on Mack。 Now a junior， she’s moving on because he’s never shown any interest and unlikely he'll ever see her for anything but an honorary little sister。 She's got a new crush and the Judy Corry's talent for writing addictive mature YA stories is unsurpassed。 This clean read is filled with loveable characters and dramatic storylines， Eden Falls Academy is a must read series！I love this brother's best friend/friends to more story。 Shy Cambrielle was in middle school when she first started crushing on Mack。 Now a junior， she’s moving on because he’s never shown any interest and unlikely he'll ever see her for anything but an honorary little sister。 She's got a new crush and the perfect plan to get him to notice her。 Mack is a senior and not prepared to face the harsh realities of life。 How delicate it can be and that sometimes you can fight with all you've got and it's still not enough to change the outcome。 He's always the one taking care of others and the first one to make a joke and he's not ready to let people in his struggles except with Cambrielle。 Their friendship deepens as she's there for Mack when he really needs someone to be there with him and for him。There are sweetly spicy moments， endearingly loyal moments along with heart wrenching ones。 Prepare yourself for a swoony book boyfriend， dreamy HEA and definitely some tears。 Judy's writing is sublime and this sweet and emotional story just flows all the way through。 I'm already thinking about a re-read I love it so much。 To really enjoy The Facade， start with The Charade because there are storylines that continue from there in this book。 The next book looks like love is taking centre stage and the spotlight is on Cambrielle's outgoing brother Nash。 Can't wait！！I was kindly provided an ARC in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more

I really like Mack and Cambrielle together。 The friendship was great and lead naturally to a great romance。 I really enjoyed the family dynamics in this book。 Mack’s mother’s cancer is hard to read but I think it was handled well。

I'm not gonna lie - I was disappointed when I heard the 2nd book was going to be about Cam and Mack。 I really wanted to hear Elyse's story next！ But this story blew me out of the water！！ It goes so much deeper than just a contemporary romance！！ （which there's nothing wrong with contemporary romance - I read it often！） This surprised me with Mack and his mom's relationship。 It brought me to tears and I found myself highlighting and thinking about some of the insights they had。 I really loved Mack I'm not gonna lie - I was disappointed when I heard the 2nd book was going to be about Cam and Mack。 I really wanted to hear Elyse's story next！ But this story blew me out of the water！！ It goes so much deeper than just a contemporary romance！！ （which there's nothing wrong with contemporary romance - I read it often！） This surprised me with Mack and his mom's relationship。 It brought me to tears and I found myself highlighting and thinking about some of the insights they had。 I really loved Mack's Tetris analogy。 Seriously， I love writing that has you thinking about it days later！！Cambrielle and Mack were great together！ I love the sibling like banter between the 2 and woo was their tension hot！！ Fantastic book and I can't wait to read the next one！ Breathe easy Judy - this book is fabulous！！！ 。。。more

This is one of my favorites of Judy 's second only to Meet Me There。 This is not your typical YA romance。 We are taking on a roller coaster of emotions。 Mack is everything I love in a BBC。 He's funny and he loves to tease the girl he likes。 I love the different facets of Cambrelle。 She's shy and sweet but also confident。 This was a great story and I loved it。 This is one of my favorites of Judy 's second only to Meet Me There。 This is not your typical YA romance。 We are taking on a roller coaster of emotions。 Mack is everything I love in a BBC。 He's funny and he loves to tease the girl he likes。 I love the different facets of Cambrelle。 She's shy and sweet but also confident。 This was a great story and I loved it。 。。。more

I absolutely loved these characters！ Such a great match！ The teasing （like siblings） and the initial disgust at even thinking of the other person romantically to the slow burn of realizing they actually did have feelings for each other and the gradual maturing of the relationship… the characters were so realistic and fun that it was easy to imagine them in real life。 I really thought the author did an excellent job in portraying and expanding on their personalities。 I didn’t feel lost like I oft I absolutely loved these characters！ Such a great match！ The teasing （like siblings） and the initial disgust at even thinking of the other person romantically to the slow burn of realizing they actually did have feelings for each other and the gradual maturing of the relationship… the characters were so realistic and fun that it was easy to imagine them in real life。 I really thought the author did an excellent job in portraying and expanding on their personalities。 I didn’t feel lost like I often do when it’s been a while since I read a book in a series。 I had no trouble keeping track of who was whom。 It was very well written and will appeal to a wide audience。 。。。more

The Facadewas a sweet， cute and romantic story between friends that blossoms into a lot more than expected。 It was a sort of coming of age story for Cambrielle Hastings with having a lot of first experiences when it comes to putting herself out there and getting into a relationship with her brothers best friend and next door neighbor Mack Aarden。 Cambrielle and Mack’s story definitely took them on quite a journey from the get go。 Not realising what one simple event could lead to， turns into The Facadewas a sweet， cute and romantic story between friends that blossoms into a lot more than expected。 It was a sort of coming of age story for Cambrielle Hastings with having a lot of first experiences when it comes to putting herself out there and getting into a relationship with her brothers best friend and next door neighbor Mack Aarden。 Cambrielle and Mack’s story definitely took them on quite a journey from the get go。 Not realising what one simple event could lead to， turns into them keeping their blooming relationship a secret in order for it to work。 Especially when you throw in overprotective older brothers， life issues involving family illnesses and schooling decisions。 All resulting in Cambrielle and Mack having their plates full， making their path together a tough one to whether through considering the endless obstacles and hurdles to overcome in order for them to know if it’s the real deal and worth it。With all of that going on， Judy Corry made you feel the many different emotions seeping out from the pages， with giving you an understanding just what exactly Mack and Cambrielle felt and endure throughout。 Leading to moments that had you laughing， smiling， swooning whilst simultaneously feeling sad， crying and hurting from the heartache and pain that both suffered through。 Especially Mack when it came to his mother， it had my heart breaking for him。 While I did enjoy the story overall， I did have to knock off a star firstly because in the beginning the story felt a little too slow paced for my liking。 Especially since it felt a little too wordy， resulting in the progression of the story not feeling like it was going anywhere with the lack of a strong and clear direction IMO。 Also I felt the drama surrounding the situation Cambrielle uncovers happened quite quickly with it all being over too fast。 I guess I would have preferred it either be expanded on a little more， considering I expected there to be a bigger explosion from the outcome of it all。All in all， The Facadewas a sweet story with seeing Cambrielle and Mack having a HEA they deserved。 Especially with that bonus epilogue。 Safe to say， I am still looking forward to Elyse’s story next。*I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more

4。5 stars。 I really enjoyed this book- it was nice to hang out with some of the first book's characters as well as get to know Cambrielle and Mack better。 There were some pretty funny scenes that had me cracking up :） as well as some heavier topics such as the death of a loved one。 I'm totally invested in this series and I'm really looking forward the next installment :） 4。5 stars。 I really enjoyed this book- it was nice to hang out with some of the first book's characters as well as get to know Cambrielle and Mack better。 There were some pretty funny scenes that had me cracking up :） as well as some heavier topics such as the death of a loved one。 I'm totally invested in this series and I'm really looking forward the next installment :） 。。。more

A good， clean， emotion stirring YA romance: Mack is warning off his best friends’ sister， Cambrielle。 They are just friends until the kiss。 Neither one could forget it but how can they be together without the brothers finding out？ Plus， both are dealing with issues: Cambrielle with her dancing and Mack with the illness of his mother。 I really enjoyed this story; I laughed and cried。 I would highly recommend it。

Another rollercoaster Judy Corry brainchild！Having adored The Charade， I impatiently anticipated The Facade。。。 and was blown away by its depth and rawness。 I liked Mack and Cambrielle in book 1， and was excited by the prospect of their relationship， especially given how protective her brothers are。 The tragedy of Mack's mum's health only added to the emotional turmoil of this story， and although this tragedy was a bitter pill to swallow， it burrowed M & C deeper into my heart。 Such a beautifully Another rollercoaster Judy Corry brainchild！Having adored The Charade， I impatiently anticipated The Facade。。。 and was blown away by its depth and rawness。 I liked Mack and Cambrielle in book 1， and was excited by the prospect of their relationship， especially given how protective her brothers are。 The tragedy of Mack's mum's health only added to the emotional turmoil of this story， and although this tragedy was a bitter pill to swallow， it burrowed M & C deeper into my heart。 Such a beautifully-written story。 Love you and your brain， Judy！ Looking forward to Elyse and Nash's book！NB I received an ARC of this novel。 。。。more
