Hi, my name is Laura and I am in love with this book.

I am of course a fan of a high-quality rom-com and Mr Right Across the Street has it in spades. If you need something to read over a rainy weekend this is the one. Fall into the world of Luke and Mia or as I started calling them when raving about this book to my friends - Bunny Man and Coding Girl.

I started this book this morning and did not move until I finished it. I am obsessed and ready to read anything that Kathryn Freeman puts out for the foreseeable.

Also, Mia kinda makes me want to mess with my hair so wish me luck. But rom-com fans everywhere give this book a go.

I was looking for a fun contemporary British romance, and I got that. Here, Mia has recently moved to Manchester for a fresh start from her disastrous dating life. Then, she notices her hunky neighbor across the street has begun to leave her notes in his window since both their spare rooms face another. He's Luke, a bar owner with his own issues but by helping to show Mia the town sights, he sees what real romance can be. Because he's just besotted. The book is told through back-and-forth dual perspectives, and the two of them have such banter down pat. Soon, they start exchanging messages through the windows, and a friendship develops. It's a cute slow-burn romance full of fun language and fun, delicious banter that I can't get enough of. Sure, this book is a bit slow to start and really get into, but it does get a lot better and cuter. I love a good nerd and cool kid romance story, and this one is just positively cute and fun. The ending is very sweet too, like giving me butterflies good.

This is the fourth book in the collection and having read and thoroughly enjoyed the first three I was excited to get my hands on this one.
As you come to expect with this author it’s very well written and thought out. You’ll definitely laugh and love the characters. Totally relatable

This book will have you swooning with the romance, whilst also screaming at the characters for their actions. Don't want to say too much as I don't want to spoil it, but the secondary characters and how they all fit together are all really interesting. There is some heat to this story so be warned, but the overall story is really sweet and romantic

Quick and cute read!
It was quite funny and I was wholly entertained.
I say this often, but I definitely prefer romances that show both of the love interests’ point of view. This one constantly went back and forth, which I appreciated.
I’m always a bit worried when the man in a romance is showed as a “player” that changes his way. But I mean, this is fictional, so anything can happen.
Mia also had a bit of the “I’m not like other girls” trope to her, but I had a good time reading this, so I looked past these things.
Perfect for those who love a good rom com!

Mia moved to Manchester to escape a relationship gone wrong. The highlight of her day in the new city is watching the guy across the street working out. When she gets the courage to go to the bar on her won, she finds out that he owns the bar and is her neighbour. It becomes clear he is a player, but can they just be friends?

Let’s face it, with more stringent Covid restrictions in place this week, we’re all looking for something a little whimsical to take our mind off things. Kathryn Freeman’s RomCom #4, ‘Mr. Right Across The Street,’ will have you laughing and reaching for the kleenex box. Due to be published January 22, 2021, this gives you enough time to read the previous 3 books in the collection. You won’t be disappointed!

Mia Abbot, the 30-year-old single computer nerd with no make-up and green highlights has just arrived to put roots down in singleton city. The move to Manchester is proving difficult, but Mia is determined to leave Somerset, and her ex-boyfriend-stalker, behind her and attempt to make some new friends. She soon settles into a routine based around the 10 o’clock Lukeshow. Her hot neighbour across the street does his workout at 10:00 and she has a front-row seat! After a few lame Friday nights on her own nursing a Horlicks, Mia notices a note stuck in his window. Her heart flips when she discovers that the hot bartender not only knows she watches him but also when she discovers he’s eager to communicate through notes posted on the window. Didn’t she move to Manchester to forget men? If she replies via note, it’ll confirm that he knows she watches him. You’ll have to read this fantastic novel to find out Mia’s next move.

This 5-star romcom had all the feels. I absolutely love how Mia has names for all her neighbours; Immaculate Woman, Mr. Snog A lot, Mr. Muscles, Hot Guy and Chipmunk. I, too, live in a condo and have names for my neighbours. Sadly, no 10:00 Lukeshows here! Having not read any of Freeman’s previous novels, I enjoyed her sense of humour and a well-paced plot. Her characters stole the show. I do hope to read more about The Bar Beneath and the lovable, yet grumpy, 67-year-old neighbour, Stan. For those looking for a great feel-good romance with a side of giggles, this is the book you need. Freeman writes to entertain while she subtly hits on the most basic of human needs – the need to feel loved and accepted by others.

Thank you to Kathryn Freeman, Harper Collins UK, One More Chapter and NetGalley for a fantastic advance copy in exchange for an honest review.
