The Neighbor Favor by Kristina Forest
cute, breezy read about bookish neighbors falling in love. Lily, a twenty something wannabe children's books editor and bookworm; and Nick, a fantasy author who values his privacy.
What to expect?
- <b>You've got mail vibes</b>. The beginning of the book reminded me so much about You've got mail. Lily emails her favorite fantasy indie book author through a contact form (we know nothing more about the author because he values privacy. and the fantasy series is incomplete) on his website and they exchange emails that slowly become flirty. Then after a year they accidentally become neighbors and feel a connection towards each other.
- <b>BOOKISH</b> all along! Email chats about books, bookstores, working in publishing, fantasy books, readings, book deals.
- <b> Best bookish boyfriend</b>. Think long discussions on books, bookstore dates
- The <b>conflicts felt too small</b>. How do I put this? I don't think the decisions Nick took to stay away from Lily were justified. Or the way he plays along because he just can't help it.
- Nick had things to hide and he lies. He lied too long for me to be okay with their relationship. How do you just move on from that? Then again, this is a book.
- Personally I love sisters in books. So I really wanted more chemistry or scenes b/w sisters.
- The chemistry between Nick and Lily was good. Also, this is a romance book. So it doesn't really make sense that they suddenly start kissing. But do we mind? Nah
- There's a cat! (PS: Loved learning that an Xray for a cat costs $500 out of the pocket in the US. I am forever shocked)
Overall, happy romance perfect for bookish hearts.
