What a great story!
This is the first book I’ve read by Sophie Sullivan, but it won’t be the last. How to Love Your Neighbor is book 2 in the series. Grace Travis has inherited a house from her grandmother. But she hasn’t been able to move into it due to attending school for interior design, and everything else in her life. Noah Jansen is her next-door neighbor, whom she hasn’t met. He wants to purchase the empty house so he can expand his property. Grace and Noah meet before they realize they are neighbors, and both have an instant attraction, but don’t plan on pursuing it. When Grace finally moves in, and Noah offers to purchase her new home, the differences in their lives become apparent.
This well written book takes us on the journey of these two people, who could have an instant friendship; that actually starts out adversarial, and then becomes a working relationship for both. This book made me feel good-that the main characters were people whom I like and were hoping that they could move past the expectations that they had to become more…better people, better friends, and truly connected. The story is complete, and if you don’t read the first book, that won’t matter. But now having read book 1, this second book is even better.
I received and ARC of the book through NetGallery from St. Martin’s Press. This is my honest opinion.
This, that, and the other-my thoughts
