A review by briewhale
The Grumpy Player Next Door by Pippa Grant

4.0

It should go without saying by now that any book by Pippa is going to be a crazy, swoony adventure. Especially in Shipwreck. Tillie Jean is my hero. She pulls the best pranks, fixes her own roof, and loves fiercely. Max is more teddy bear than growly bear. I love the bromance between him and Cooper. And the way this book deals with his anxiety. Max faces real struggles, so it makes it all the better to see him experience real love as well. The love story between Max and TJ is a very slow burn, which is frustrating, but also incredibly satisfying. Plus, the story is so amazing that I enjoyed being along for the ride. And now that there’s a cover I need a reread already because HOLY HOTNESS my imagination did not do Max Cole justice.
