Open Door Policy - Too Close for Comfort

Too Close for Comfort

Book One in the Open Door Policy Series

By Maddy Johnson

Tellulah thought moving next door to her parents would make life easier.

She was wrong.

Fresh off a sudden divorce and trying to keep her head above water, Tellulah packs up her four rambunctious boys and moves into a fixer-upper right beside Mimi and Pops — her well-meaning, opinionated, impossible-to-avoid parents. With a white picket fence between them and absolutely no emotional boundaries in sight, what could possibly go wrong?

Everything, as it turns out.

Tellulah’s boys are loud, wild, heartbroken, hilarious, and fully committed to turning their new home — and their grandparents’ sanity — upside down. Pops is doing his best to stay cheerful. Mimi is quietly wondering if “family closeness” was better in theory. And Tellulah, overwhelmed by guilt and unsure how to help her sons adjust to life without their dad, decides the best approach is to loosen the rules.

Actually, she removes them entirely.

The result? Total household mayhem.

Just when Mimi and Pops think things can’t get more chaotic, Tellulah’s younger sister Savannah arrives with her three perfectly behaved, highly scheduled, rule-following boys. Savannah believes in discipline, structure, and consequences. Tellulah believes everyone is doing their best and maybe cereal for dinner counts as healing.

The clash is immediate. The comedy is unavoidable. And Mimi and Pops are stuck right in the middle.

Too Close for Comfort is the first book in the 10-book Open Door Policy series, a funny, heartfelt family comedy about divorce, motherhood, sisters, grandparents, parenting styles, messy houses, loud boys, and the beautiful disaster of living way too close to the people who love you most.

Welcome to the family.

The door is always open.

Whether anyone wants it to be or not.
