How to Love Your Neighbor was such a cute read. I instantly connected to Grace after hearing her background. I loved how even though she had a rough upbringing she was still determined to make the house her home. After meeting Noah's character I was a little iffy of him in the beginning. It was exasperating to read his multiple failed attempts to get her to sell him the house. But hearing his story with his father it explained a lot of things. I did like how the author incorporated both of their trauma from their respective parents. It is amazing to see how the author develops the characters even though they parents did hinder their emotional growth. I love the fact that Grace is an interior designer because I absolutely love anything that has to do with homemaking. So it was awesome to see how the author incorporated that job into the book. I think that How to Love Your Neighbor was a cute romance book for anyone who is in a reading slump! Thank you to Netgalley and the Publishing company for giving me this amazing opportunity to read this wonderful ARC.

**DNF

Alright I tried, I really tried to like this but it just couldn’t hold my attention.

I found the writing style a little hard to follow and the characters stale. I stopped reading at 34% - I just couldn’t push myself any further.

Actual Rating: 2.5 stars

The blurb for How to Love Your Neighbor really excited me, and I love neighbor romances, but the story just fell flat for me. There was no spark that made me want to keep reading till the end, and if I was someone that DNF’d I probably would have put this book down halfway through.

The chemistry between Noah and Grace was constantly mentioned, but sometimes their conversations and declarations felt more cheesy and forced than cute or exciting. Their relationship didn’t make me feel anything, and I didn’t get the feeling that these two people had to be together. I didn’t really get their connection as much as I would have wanted to. I also didn’t really have that emotional connection with their parent struggles, so the ending parts felt a little anticlimactic.

The competition with their friends and family was probably my favorite part of the story though, and I think I found the design parts way more interesting than their relationship. I did like all supporting characters though like Chris, Josh, Rosie, and Morty, and I thought the way they all needled and supported each other was fun. But overall, this is one that is going to be pretty unmemorable for me.

This was a delight! I thought the chemistry between the two main characters was extremely well done. For fans of romance I would recommend it.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

First off thank you NetGalley for an ARC of How to Love Your Neighbor. This book was super cute rom com style! It’s a perfect light read for the beach! I recommend this book!

This book was cute. HGTV meets enemy to lover romance. On the whole, this was an easy read. The characters were cute when they finally got together and grew on me as the story went on. Some parts at the end with each characters parents and the magazine articles being concluded felt sort of rushed and could have come earlier on to avoid this. At the end though all story lines had a sort of conclusion and it was a happy read. Good book for just some fun, light reading and a cute romance.

Thank you to Net Galley and St. Martins Press for the advance copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Cute cute cute read! I knew I would like it when I saw the cover, let alone read the blurb! Perfect enemies to lovers romantic comedy!

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC in exchange of an honest review.

3.5 stars.

I think this is a fun read! Enemies to lovers/ Grumpy meets Sunshine. Good chemistry and banter.

I have enjoyed other Sophie Sullivan books but this one was not my favorite. I found both of the main characters to be a bit childish, but still that doesn't call for the manipulative and controlling behavior by both of their families. I know it's supposed to be a lighthearted romp, but every time one of the family members crossed a boundary, it took all the fun out of it for me. For people who don't mind in-your-face relatives, it's a cute, quick beach or waiting room read.

Thank you to the publishers and NetGalley for the opportunity to review a temporary digital ARC in exchange for an unbiased review.

This was my first book reading from this author and I really enjoyed the book. Grace Travis moves next door to Noah Jansen where an enemies to lovers story takes place. As neighbors they can’t stand each other.

I loved how this book was just a refreshing read and it was interesting. If you love an enemies to lovers book, then this is the one for you.

Thank you NetGalley and St. Martin’s for sharing this copy with me in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you for my review copy.

Hmmmm. I put down this book at 20%. I am going to be honest....it is just not holding my attention.
.
Here we have another female character who is struggling to get by with the hot, rich neighbor who wants to buy her house that was gifted to her. ehhhhh, it's been done you know?
.
I am not opposed to enemies to lovers, but I need the characters to show some redeeming qualities by 20%. For me, these characters have not.

I enjoyed this light humorous read by Sophie Sullivan. I liked the enemies to lovers vibe in this book. The storyline was good and moved along at a good pace.. Even with some sexual tension in this book it was a clean read that many of our patrons would enjoy.. The one issue I had with this book was the length of time they spend denying their feelings for one another. Other than that the story was cute and well told.

Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book!

Ideal for someone who is looking for a light romance that is easy to read. I liked Grace as a character but not for me as it was not really a couple that I found myself rooting for. I wasn’t feeling this one, liked the premise but was not for me.

“How to Love Your Neighbor” is a new read by Sophie Sullivan, new author to this reader. One of my favorite tropes is enemies to lovers but for some reason this story fell a bit short. I didn’t find Grace and Noah that much of enemies in this story as there was too much attraction and not enough angst/banter to make them believable as enemies. Although well-written, it had a slow pace and I found myself wanting to hurry to the end…too much stalling and slow burning until you get almost over halfway in the book. This was one of those romantic comedies that had its share of sexy/romantic scenes that I look for when reading romance novels, however, was to closed door.

Grace and Noah could have been likeable characters, but something was missing. I think they needed to be more developed rather than seeming a bit too fake. Although there seemed to be attraction, I thought the chemistry was missing or I couldn’t pick up on it between the two characters.

This was a nice read to the end but just didn’t do it for me. This story has its potential and I look forward to reading more from this author although this was not my cup of tea.

Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for this ARC in exchange for my fair and honest review. All opinions are my own.

What a fun, easy to read, Rom Com. Characters were great. Both head strong and determined. While the plot was predictable, I truly enjoyed the book and seeing their relationship unfold. My only issue reading this book was the texting from the characters. It was all blended in with the story. Would have been better to have a little separation , easier to see.
Overall a great beach read. Enjoy

I really enjoyed this book! It was a fun snd easy read. The characters were relatable and easy to root for. Though I expected the storyline to be predictable, the author kept things interesting and spontaneous! There were more than a few grammatical errors, which detracted from the story at times. I would have liked to see a differentiation in text when the characters were texting each other as it was difficult to follow. Overall, great read!

I loved this story! The enemies to lovers storyline is one of my favorites in rom coms. Even though you know from the beginning how it is going to turn out, I still love going along for the ride. This book was such a fun ride to go on! The character development was amazing and I didn't want to leave them at the end. I feel like Sophie Sullivan is going to be a new auto-buy author for me, just like Christina Lauren.

A fun and appealing rom-com. I look forward to recommending it to the many readers who enjoy rom-coms and are hopelessly hooked on HGTV home improvement shows. It's the perfect combination!

Thank you Netgalley and the publishers for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This book had a lot of potential but unfortunately for me just didn’t hit the mark. Enemies to lovers is one of my favourite tropes, How to Love Your Neighbor tried to go this route but the problem is, Grace and Noah were never actually enemies. Every chapter mentioned how attracted they were to each other and how their heart raced or skipped a beat. Or how their skin tingled when they touched. It was just too much for me. The chemistry never felt natural, when you have to mention it every chapter it begins to feel forced. If you are a fan of fade to black, this might be the book for you because kissing is as physical as it gets.

There are 48 chapters and it feels about 15 chapters too long. I rate it 2 1/2 stars

From the first sentence, I liked and admired Grace. She's someone you would want to have your back because you know she'd be there through thick or thin. The chemistry between her and Noah felt real, progressing exactly like one would hope. These two very different people balance each other and both become better because of it. I laughed alongside their silly moments and grew tense when things from their respective pasts raised potential roadblocks ... getting emotional while reading and feeling fully invested in the characters lets you know you've stumbled across a good read. This book is perfect for a beach read or when one is curled up in a chair at home because it's quick, quirky and filled with fun moments. I would read more by this author.
