Neighbor Dearest
by Penelope Ward
4 You’re My Unicorn CROWNS
Neighbor Dearest is another wonderful story about two people who long to be together but resist for reasons that ultimately become clear as the story unfolds. It is emotional, heart-wrenching, and funny, and it will leave you in a pure state of contentment.
These characters had me emotionally invested from the beginning. Chelsea, who the reader meets in Stepbrother Dearest, already has my sympathy from page one. She is so kind and sweet, and I hate what happened to her (although there was really no choice in the matter), so I desperately wanted her to get her happy ending. I wanted her to find her unicorn. Damien, our hero in the story, is artistic and stand-offish in the beginning, but he is protective and incredibly kind as well.
Both of these characters are incredibly likable, which is what makes their story so emotional. The character development created by Penelope Ward leaves the reader no choice but to become invested in the relationship of these characters, as we root for their happy ending.
There is definitely chemistry between these two characters, and it is clear from the beginning of the story. There is, however, a lot of “will they or won’t they” throughout the story. Some readers may not like the whole “I want to be with you but I can’t” events that occur in the book, but his reasoning behind why he can’t be with her completely makes sense and fits with who he is as a character. And, ultimately, the will they or won’t they allows the reader to really see the two of them develop as a couple and pine for the HEA.
This plot will rip your heart out, but it will also piece it back together. It is angsty and sad in parts, but Penelope Ward leaves you with a giddy smile on your face when it is all over. I promise! One aspect that I truly love about this story is the humor. I laughed so many times throughout the whole book. The craziness of some of the scenes helped to balance out the more emotional and heart-breaking aspects of the story, providing the reader with the perfect comic relief. This truly a wonderful story with incredible pacing in regards to the couple’s development together.
As with any Penelope Ward book, I expect an emotional rollercoaster, and, boy, did she deliver. My heart ached in sadness for these characters, I laughed over so many crazy events of the plot, and finally smiled at the conclusion of this story, one that both characters certainly deserved. Now, I will sit and wait, hoping for Jade’s story.
