The Neighbor Favor felt somewhat like Get A Life, Chloe Brown by Talia Hibbert but for me it was lacking the charm that Talia’s characters have. I mean… Chloe Brown and Lily Greene both have color last names, a “near death experience” in the first chapter, two sisters, a cat, and a male love interest that hasn’t healed from past trauma yet. If you prefer less spice and less sass, I’d go with The Neighbor Favor. 

I liked that our main characters were book nerds who were into contemporary high fantasy books. Too many book/movie protagonists are interested in only classics. 

The email chain at the beginning of the book was fun. Probably my favorite part of the book. I also liked  the side characters Yolanda and Henry. I did like the cute cheesy epilogue, but for much of the book I felt bored.
