i’ve had really good luck with my romcoms this year! they’ve been so memorable! after this one and exes and o’s, it’s shaping up to be the year for romcoms!
i had so much fun reading the neighbor favor! it had so many of my favorite elements to it that i’ll share later! it was so quick and easy to read and upholds everything that the genre should strive for.
i’ve been anticipating this release for a while after seeing some chapter online about it and i went out and bought it the day it came out. nick and lily were perfect for each other and nick is definitely a new top book boyfriend!
so many of their moments together were so sweet i almost started crying! (if you watched my stories yesterday, you know exactly what caused the breakdown!)
i can wax poetic about how much i loved this book all day but i’ll give you some fun reasons to read:
- it’s a book about books!! y’all know how obsessed i am with those!
- epistolary elements! the first 60 pages are told through email!
- there’s a bet!!! and a wedding!!
- humor!!
- minimal third act drama!!
- an cat who steals the show!!
i love this book and it’s definitely a top new favorite romance for me. it’s a super special read. do yourself a favor and check it out!

I thought it was cute. The MMC did a lot of things that often annoyed me, and i thought the banter was a bit lackluster. But i liked the FMC a lot and loves the small refrences of fantasy books throughout

It was a good book, but it was more “cute” than anything. I feel like I was built up for the problem to be solved in a matter of two pages. The end of the book was dragging and it became more about everyone’s personal lives and career goals, rather than the relationship in the book.

This book was ok.
I had higher hopes for it. The book cover was cute and the plot seemed like it would be good. The execution was sadly not it for me.
Spoilers:
It started off cute with the emails but they should have been spaced out throughout the book. Not compiled together in a never ending chapter.
Nick got on my nerves with his constant mentioning of how he’s a terrible writer and doesn’t consider himself a writer and then just ghosting Lily when it was time to FaceTime. His woe is me attitude was so so so annoying. And I’m still confused as to why he ghosted her. And the whole I can’t let my father know I’m making money and pretending to be British??? Sir you are 30 years old, man up. That whole aspect was weird and turned Nick into a giant con/red flag.
Lily was sweet but also got on my nerves being a constant pushover with her family (who means well mostly) and her boss at work (Devil Wears Prada in a bad way vibes). Lily makes a wager to get her sisters off her back by bringing her own date to her sisters wedding. So we get Nick and Lily fake dating. I wasn’t a fan of how the secret identity and reveal went. Story was cute but dragged on a bit and was repetitive. There was no need for it to be so long with nothing really happening. It felt more like saying the characters had chemistry fathering than showing their chemistry. They felt forced. I feel bad since this book was highly rated but 2 stars for this one.
