This story will have you laughing for sure. Grace Travis loves what she does and doesn't take crap from anyone. When the new neighbor tries to act like he's better than her well she's about to show him just because she's a woman doesn't mean she doesn't know things. Noah is trying to make the most of things fixing up a house that he knows he could live in. When he meets his neighbor they will butt heads, but he will also have to learn to eat his words when it comes to her. The banter is real, the attraction is real, and so the love. However, sometimes that is not enough to be with someone you might love. Can these two fall in love before it's to late?

First off, I felt deceived by the blurb. I would not describe the hero Noah as "grumpy" at all. Second, the blurb hinted at a bit of enemies to lovers trope, which wasn't really there either. Noah and Grace may have butted heads in the beginning, but that didn't last long. This book sadly felt like it dragged too much and I found myself quite bored and had to put it down many times before finishing the whole thing. I liked the design aspect of the story, but everything else wasn't very memorable for me.

How to Love Your Neighbor has been a bit of a struggle for me. Grace and Noah seem to have way too many disagreements and just make up. From enemies to friends and then more, I did not particularly care for Noah at all. Now I loved Grace’s elderly friend Mort. I kept picturing Walter Matthau in Grumpy Old Men in every scene he was in. Cantankerous but lovable, Mort was my bright spot in this book. My voluntary, unbiased review is based upon a review copy from NetGalley.

A wonderful enemies to lover novel. Grace is such an independent woman trying to overcome family obstacles, finish college, and juggle all the odd jobs she has. Noah was initially somewhat abrasive with his overzealous quest to purchase Grace's property but as the novel progresses he grows on you. These two were made for each other. This was my first novel by this author and it won't be my last.

I received a complimentary copy of this book "How to Love Your Neighbor" and all opinions expressed are my own. I didn't love it and I didn't hate it. It was a slow pace read.

Thanks Netgalley for allowing me to read this book. Grace is excited about things that are happening in her life. She is putting her design skills to use. The only issue is her next door neighbor. I enjoyed the chemistry between Grace and her neighbor.

This book was squarely mediocre. I liked part of the enemies to lovers. I liked part of the cast. I liked part of the conflict. There was so much that I didn’t care for especially the romantic lead that I just wanted to finish the book. The enjoyment was gone because I wasn’t rooting for anyone.

What I did like was the romantic tension between the two characters and Noah’s character development when holding his own against his father.

That’s really it. No smut either which was disappointing.

Grace works as a interior design student, dog walker, barista, and caretaker to Morty, she is ready for a change. She decides to move into the house her grandparents left her several years ago. The house needs some TLC, but it has an amazing view of the beach. is the girl from the wrong side of the tracks who's moving into a house left to her by her grandparents.

As soon as she moves in the rich, cocky, gorgeous next-door neighbor Noah asks to buy Grace's house for more than twice it is worth, so he can build a pool next to his home. Noah works as a real-estate developer, and dabbles in other businesses , left his father in New York to strike out on his own not under his father's thumb.

A popular home decor magazine wants to cover the design and construction of his new home. Unfortunately, the magazine will not do the feature unless his Grace, the soon be graduating interior design student to design the home renovations and interior design.

This enemies to lovers trope was everything you hoped it would be. You could feel the spark between Grace and Noah from the first chapter. Grace and Noah both work through their issues with relationships together, and begin to trust one another. I really enjoyed seeing Chris and Everly appear in the book, and seeing how Chris and Everly have grown, Everly in her anxiety, and Chris in his ability to be the sounding board his brother Noah needs.

This was a cute and fun read! I actually want to do a Reno on a house now after reading this lol.
After reading so many historical fiction novels, this was a pleasant surprise.

Grumpy and sunshine, enemies to lovers goodness!

Grace and Noah have some amazing chemistry, and are basically thrown together not only as neighbors, but end up working on a project.

Through a lot of misunderstandings, miscommunications, and hands down, some of the worst parental figures I’ve read in awhile, these two are able to find their footing with each other, and in their personal career aspirations.

This book is chock full of wonderful one liners and meaningful advice. Each one made me pause and reread.

This is a closed door romance, but has a lot of wonderful build up tension and banter.

Could this book BE any cuter?! (Cue Chandler Bing voice-because I know Sophie is a Friends addict like myself 🥰- but I digress).
Seriously though, I loved Noah and Grace. After being dealt a bad hand for family, Grace is slowly finding her way in life while remaining strong and independent. Noah knows what he wants and how he’s going get it, but also beginning to realize there’s more to life than making deals. These two mismatched neighbors are in it for a battle of the wills and it’s completely enjoyable to watch unfold 🥰

Oh my goodness.
I loved this book so much.
First of all, thank you for the publisher, St. Martin’s Griffin for an ARC of the book via NetGalley!
Second of all, this book was so heartwarming and it absolutely pulled on my heartstrings. I really enjoyed the story line and there were so many memorable quotes as well as just “”life advice”” that I am very fond of.
The only issue I had with the book was the texting dialogues were a bit hard to read, BUT I am assuming it will be fixed by the time the book is set to be published!

I requested to read and review this book for free from St. Martin Publishing Company. This book took place in sunny California. This book has so many emotions trars, angry, betrayal and love. This book can be read as a stand alone or can be read second. Noah had it all until he wanted to create his own path. Grace is full of life, bad times don't get her down. She keeps getting up and putting one foot in front of the other. And their friends and family that help them and tell you the way it is!! This book is for a mature reader and can be read anywhere.

Reading the description of this book, I was so excited to get my hands on it. Who doesn't love a good enemies-to-lovers trope? While I really loved the banter between our main characters in this book, it fell apart for me toward the middle. The main characters fell in love too quickly; they had the chemistry, but with this type of romance, I expected a bit more resistance.

Still a very enjoyable read!

I thought this was super cute!!

It was a little less sunshine/grump than I expected, as I found them both equally crabby haha. But I thought Grace and Noah's relationship was so sweet & I really enjoyed watching them come together. All of the side characters were extremely lovable too - even crabby old Morty.

I gave this book 4 stars on my goodreads! I'm definitely going to check out this authors other book as well.

Honestly, I DNF'd this book at 28%. It was just SO typical and boring. Cute girl with dogs tumbles literally head over heels for the hot surfer, only to discover he's her mean and grumpy neighbor. It's been done a million times, and this one is not very good. Not a fan!

Fussy neighbor indeed! More like ridiculous, hunkalicious sexy man with an insane desire to buy Grace's beloved grandparents' beach cottage. Grace and Noah battle it out in Ms. Sullivan's new novel, HOW TO LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR.

The story stars Grace Travis, a pretty girl and interior design student, who inherits a cozy cottage from her grandparents. She loves its location by the beach and its ties to family, which means a lot to her. Only thing ruining it is the grouchy, dishy neighbor, Noah Jansen, who is harassing her about selling it. The nerve of him!

Noah, a handsome real estate developer, is making a name for himself by purchasing a fixer upper. His father is giving him grief, using his power to upset Noah. But, Noah wants to break away from his dad by striking out on his own. This is his personal project and Noah is determined to put his own stamp on the house. He just wants some extra land to put in a pool, but the obstinate pretty lady next door won't sell. He hopes he can sway her with his charm. One thing he didn't count on is his immense attraction to her. She is one beautiful lady!

When a famous magazine wants to photograph Noah's home makeover there is a stipulation. They want Grace who is an interior designer to work with him on the project. How is he going to get Grace to work with him, when they are constantly bickering? Is this a deal breaker or will they find themselves falling hard for each other?

HOW TO LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR is a humorous, addictive romantic comedy that has sass, suspense and chemistry. Grace is a talented designer with flair. She moves into a lovely cottage next door to a pushy, arrogant man who secretly makes her heart flutter. Noah is fixing up his house and intends to buy Grace's place so he can expand. Thus, a battle of the sexes with passionate romance is thrown in. Ms. Sullivan's story has it all, subplots, quirky characters, love and a few surprises along the way. I loved the blooming romance between Noah and Grace, which didn't come easy. There are many road blocks and hiccups along the way, especially with family members. All in all, I loved the story! HOW TO LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR is a rambunctious romp, but tootin' fun!

I am rather fond of this book and it is definitely one I would recommend to my friends! It gives me “Beach Read” vibes in the best kind of way!

These are some of my favorite types of stories, with the neighbor situation but also being very focused on the environment and where they’re living as well, like in “It Happened One Summer” as well.

I really loved seeing the progress between the characters, especially in relation to Tammy. I see absolutely no cons in this book it was great!

Enjoyable and sweet but not very memorable for me personally! It was an interesting concept but I wasn't as much of a fan. It felt a bit choppy and didn't flow well, but it was still a light and easy read!

Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for an advance copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!

This romantic comedy story captured my attention from the very beginning with the good storyline and wonderfully created characters which made this book a very enjoyable read!
