“Grumpy next-door neighbor. That's one of my favorite tropes."


This book really pulled my heart strings. What an emotional rollercoaster of a book. Knox I loved you, then hated you and then loved you again. 

So happy they all got their happy ending

Only thing that ruined if for me was the amount of characters confused me. I lost track of who everyone was. 

Oh and that I made me cry loads ha!

Nothing groundbreaking, but still solid. There are plenty of flirty conversations a tightly written plot and a colourful cast of supporting characters so I had a really good time with this. It left me feeling all warm and fuzzy (as good romance tries to do.) 

There was the occasional bit of dialogue/character name etc that made me cringe but it did what it set out to do so I've got no REAL problems with it.

Lucy Score is one of my all-time favorites and I’ve been reading her books for years. TWNGO is an incredible addition to a long backlist of excellent work. The characters are so well-written and their development is beautiful while being relatable and often times hilarious. Plus, Knox will always be one of my favorite book boyfriends <3
