How to love your neighbor is a good romantic comedy written by Sophie Sullivan. It was a cute story about enemies to friends to lovers. The book was nicely written and flowed well. Noah was a little over the top he did straighten up and became a better person.
Very cute and worth a read – thank you net galley for an advanced copy for an honest review.

I had a hard time connecting with the characters in this one. Grace was too bossy for my taste, and I didn't understand her disdain for Noah at first. They started off hating each other and then suddenly they didn't hate each other. I didn't see any depth to their connection or any chemistry between the two. There were glimpses of a connection on paper but I didn't really feel it.

I though all of the bets and competitions and the magazine spread was too contrived. It was one thing after another and it felt too gimmicky for me.

Steam level: 🔥🔥
⚠️: toxic relationship with a parent

This book flowed from beginning to end. The characters immediately came to life and I enjoyed the light humor between them. The story was a journey of personal growth and coming to terms with relationships good and bad.
I truly enjoyed this book and I’m sure others will too.

I enjoyed this book so much! I love a good design make over and then add in the drama of the two neighbors, everything from their past, their families and everything in between and this was a great book!

Absolutely joyful to read!! I loved this book so much and found it really refreshing. I’d not heard of this author before but it is one I’ll certainly be wanting to read more from

A great romantic comedy story about finding the best of you to be the best for someone else. I loved the design backdrop of fixing up a house and how it fixed up Noah and Grace. Their friends are who everyone would want to be around. The story seemed a bit long at times but was perfect by the end of the story. Thank you Netgalley for the ARC!

Grace Travis knows what it’s like to come from nothing and to work for what you want . Grace does a little bit of everything to make a living, attends design school, and has a clear path for herself. Then there’s Noah Jensen he doesn’t know what it’s like to have to work for what you want. Noah comes from a wealthy family, has worked in his family business and always gets what he wants. What are the odds that Grace and Noah end up being neighbors and enemies! There seems they will have nothing in common and will never see eye to eye.

How to Love Your Neighbor by Sophie Sullivan was one of my favorite reads this month. I loved watching Grace and Noah’s relationship change over time. Sullivan also does an amazing job showing how each person grows into themselves and they find out who they really are in life. I definitely recommend this book!

Very enjoyable book! It was my first time reading this author. I am very curious to see what else she comes out with.

I love a good neighbor's hate to love trope and this delivers! The characters had interesting issues and the chemistry was solid! They had some great banter as well which is always a plus. I loved the arguing/tension and the payoff is a good time!

While this book was quick and fun and super easy to read, it was a little lacking in parts. Not going into too much detail since personally it really didn't bother me too much, just could have been better with a little more involved. I wouldn't say it's a true "Enemies to lovers" trope but it was still good. 4⭐

Grace and Noah are both looking for something that they cannot name. They each think they know what they want but are not entirely sure. At first glance, it might seem that they new neighbors have little in common besides attraction but that is not true. They are both running from a past, not of their making, and trying hard not to repeat the sins of their parents. This leads to them questioning their relationship with each other and the future.
I like that we get to know these characters' personalities a bit before they become an us. As the grow together, we get to see both the good and bad. Often in romance books, once we get to the good the bad can become the focus but Sullivan finds a good balance. We see both Grace and Noah learn along the way and how they ultimately decide on a future together.

Contemporary Romance is my jam! I was excited to read How to Love Your Neighbor by Sophie Sullivan. This is a stand alone book but is in the world of Ten Rules for Faking It.

Grace is a design student who just inherited her grandparents’ beach house. Noah is real estate developer who lives next door and he wants to buy Grace’s house.

I enjoyed watching Grace and Noah’s relationship grow from not liking each other to getting competitive while working together on a design project. And then finally falling in love. So many swoon worthy moments but I would have liked a little more steam. Fans of Ten Rules for Faking It will enjoy seeing Chris and Everly again.

I recommend for readers that enjoy:
💜 enemies to lovers
💜 fans of HGTV design shows
💜 closed door romance

Thank you to NetGalley, and St. Martin’s Press for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This is my first time reading a book by Sophie but the cover and title drew me in so I just had to read. I'm so glad I did because this book was highly entertaining!
Think HGTV meets rom-com and you have this fun, sweet read! There's a definite enemies-to-lovers to lovers & grumpy/sunshine theme throughout which I loved.

This book started off with a bang, then there were some parts that lagged in the middle and then picked up again towards the end. I think this probably could've been trimmed down a bit, but overall I liked it.
Secondary characters were just as lovable as the hero and heroine!

Sophie Sullivan’s latest release, How to Love Your Neighbor, is rife with genuine emotions…Noah and Grace are sure to pull at your heart strings with the internal battles they waged, but lowering their walls to each other is a game changer.

The secondary characters add another layer to the story that gives it, and them, a whole other element of uniqueness. The humorous moments had me laughing out loud…two brothers wrapped in double head locks, neither conceding defeat...along with witty banter (as only siblings can have between themselves) and rapid repartee…texting with crossed fingers…all went into demonstrating of just how gifted this author’s writing is.

With Noah’s story having followed Chris’, hopefully Wes’ is not too far behind!

This ARC book was complimentary, provided by the Publisher and NetGalley. I am voluntarily providing my information honest review.

This cute, fluffy, hate to love romantic comedy is exactly the distraction I needed today. While it did have some cheesy moments it was sweet and what rom-com doesn’t have cheesy moments? I hadn’t read the first book but I did suspect the first one would be connected and about a couple that is also in this story (and I was right! That book is now on it’s way). Grace is about to graduate college with her degree in design and she’s finally moving into the house her grandparents left her. Noah is trying to make his own start on the West Coast away from his father’s influence and is determined to buy the small house next door to install a pool. Of course sparks fly (both attraction and from fury) when the two meet.

THANKS TO NETGALLEY AND THE PUBLISHER FOR THIS REVIEW COPY IN EXCHANGE FOR AN HONEST REVIEW.

Grace is a self-made person who has done everything to built an independent life. Her grandparents who were strangers for her; left their home for Grace in their will. Grace is about to finish her interior designing degree and decided to move into the house and repair and renovate it.

Noah is the son of a famous real estate developer and recently moved to California to make his own identity. Grace's home is next to his and Noah wants to buy it at any price.

I don't read much romance but I wanted to read something light. I was expected to be an enemy-lover troop but that part didn't last for so long plus I won't even say them, enemies. They had arguments but they were just arguments nothing more than that. I liked the story, it was light and quick.

Was it memorable? No.

Was it a little slow? Yes

Were both MC played flip house throughout the entire book? Yes

I like to read about renovation and stuff but this book had too much of it and lacked balance. I really liked the chemistry between Grace and Noah. It is one of those books where people were mature enough to talk about everything openly rather than assuming things. It was so refreshing to read that author didn't go on the path of misunderstanding. I really appreciate it. Overall, it was quick and fun.

Very sweet romantic comedy in the enemies to lovers vein. The characters were super likable, but it was the setting that captured me. The dream of fixing up a beach house is one that appeals to all parts of me. I love a fixer upper and if it has an ocean view it’s just perfect.

How to Love Your Neighbor is a sweet, heartfelt romantic comedy with characters that feel real - people you'd like to know. Grace is the girl from the wrong side of the tracks who's moving into a house left to her by her grandparents. The house is a fixer upper, but it's view of the beach is highly desirable, and Grace is determined to plant her roots in the house where her grandparents lived. The problem is the rich, arrogant hunk next door, Noah, who seems to think he can throw money at her and she'll fold and sell him her new place so he can add on a pool. Noah is a gorgeous real estate developer - a business tycoon who moved there to escape his father's business influence and make his own way in the business world. A famous magazine wants to photograph and record his house makeover with one little catch . . . they want the irritating woman next door who happens to be graduating from design school to be his designer on the project. If he refuses, the story is dead. All Noah has to do is convince Grace that doing it will benefit them both.

Sullivan has penned a hilarious rom com with insane chemistry blazing between her hero and heroine who try so hard to hate one another. Neither understands the other, but they agree to work together for their mutual benefit. The lessons learned just may change both their lives. What I loved about this story was the amazing character development as both dared to step out of their comfort zone and take chances when challenged by the other. The author does an amazing job keeping it real with several twists and turns in the evolution of these characters and their relationship. I felt the story dragged just a bit in the middle and could have been shortened a little. In spite of that, I enjoyed How To Love Your Neighbor and highly recommend it to fans of romance especially those who love their romance with a lot of snark, sizzle and pop. Lots of laughter and love in this one!

If you’d like to read a hybrid romance of enemies-to-lovers and grumpy-and-sunshine, this book could be for you. However, I never felt connected to the main characters and the plot was a little too predictable. Also, there were too many instances of the words “sexy” and “hot” (yes, even in the very beginning) that could have been replaced with better descriptors. I get this is meant to be a lighthearted rom com but it left me wanting more. I guess I was looking for a little more heart from it!

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

How to Love Your Neighbor by Sophie Sullivan is a chick-lit romance.

Grace Travis had inherited a small house close to Harlow Beach from her grandparents that she had never met. Her goal was to renovate it and live there. Along with studying at the design school, she had various jobs in order to save money. After many years it was time to take the next step and make her dream come true. She moved to her home and officially met her hot neighbor, Noah Jansen. From that moment a battle began between them. He was ready to do anything in order to buy her house but she wasn't backing down.
At first, they were annoyed by each other but soon that changed. There was obviously a deep attraction between them that no matter how hard they tried they couldn't fight it. Could two people who were the exact opposite with lots of emotional baggage have a happy ending?

It's such a cute romantic story. It started by being comedic with her accident and the funny characters then it became kind of hot and slowly the emotional part was involved and deepened the plot. I loved that there was an alternation between funny and serious, it kept the plot afloat and light. It's a long book but it can keep your interest. When I read the description I thought that it was just a cute rom-com but there is a lot going on here. Their personal issues are quite relatable which makes the story realistic on some level. The characters were incredible and their chemistry unreal. I loved every part of this book but if I had to
choose one scene it would be the realization that they loved each other.

How to Love Your Neighbor is a story that I highly recommend to every reader who loves this genre. It will definitely make your day.
I will rate it with 5 stars.

This was a delightful story about two people who come from different backgrounds and happen to end up living next door. Grace’s first interaction on the beach has her drawn to him. But then she realizes he is her next door neighbor and only wants to buy her property so he can expand and build a pool. Grace grew up poor and has worked very hard to get her degree in design. In her last semester she is ready to start her life. Noah grew up with money. He had a special relationship with his grandfather and he learned to give back to the community. After his grandfather died his father took the company in another direction. After working for years for his father he felt the need to go out on his own and to build something more in line with what he learned from his grandfather.
Grace is rather handy since she could not afford to pay for someone to fix things. When the fence between their yard needs fixed, Grace gets it done with out any trouble. Noah is taken back by all she is able to do on her own.

Will they see past their difference and build a friendship? Will Noah stop trying to buy her house? Will Noah be able to get his business up and running in line with what his grandfather taught?
Thank you to Netgalley for complimentary copy.
Sweet story and easy read.
