I was hooked on this book right away. Something about Molly, the maid, (yes her name is Molly, and she realizes the irony there) that just make you love her, trust her, want to look after her. This story follows Molly who was raised by her grandmother, and thinks and sees people a bit 'different' than most of us. She works as a maid in a prestigious hotel, and one day finds one of the important visitors dead in his bed. The investigation finds that not everything at the hotel is as it seems, and Molly seems to find herself in the middle of it all. All of the characters in this book were so fitting, and it was obvious who to love and who to not trust! I wouldn't call this a thriller by any means but a good mystery with a loveable main character, you can go wrong with this! I can't believe it's a debut, I will forever read anything Nita Prose writes. :)

Not rating this one, but it was definitely an eye opener. Highly recommend, but with a warning of many triggers.

Do you like a book that has grumpy/sunshine trope? How about HGTV, do you watch that channel at all? Love a little romance without the “you know what”? Well then I can safely say that How To Love Your Neighbour is the perfect book for you.
•
The story follows two neighbours, one a cheery, never been handed anything, rookie interior designer, not even out of school yet; the other a large scale land developer, who usually just throws money at people to make them do things his way, but is trying to make a go at actually doing the work himself for once. And when he’s slated for a magazine article, the writer sees their chemistry, and insists that they need to work together for a three series spread in the famous House & Home home renovation magazine.
•
I’ll leave it there, but know that the forced proximity of working together, their similar but completely opposite upbringing, all plays a part in how this goes down. I enjoyed this one, it’s cute, the secondary characters are great as well. But personally, I like steam, and it turned a bit too lovey dovey for me near the end.

This one is out today! And I want to thank NetGalley, St Martins Press and Sophie Sullivan for the eARC in exchange for an honest review.
