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.

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.

Fun, quick read. Love the dynamic between the characters. I loved the plot of them remodeling houses, gave this romance novel a different plot than most have and I was here for it! This book had great character development! Proved that it’s okay to ask for help, stick up for yourself and fall in love! I did think the heroine blew things out of proportion some but I will definitely read more from this author!

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!

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

*3.5 Stars*

The first half of this book was delightful! Slow burn romance, found family, enemies-to-lovers, all the makings of a story I thought I would enjoy. However, the first 40 chapters could have been condensed into 20 and the story would not have missed anything. When I say slow burn, I mean SLOOOOWWWWW. The story stalls about halfway through and the big dramatic conflict was not only super predictable, but very short-lived and unrealistic. The writing style is what got me through the long chapters of overly descriptive trips to furniture stores and a first date that took multiple chapters to conclude. There were a few romantic/sexy scenes, but all intimacy was closed door/off page. Overall, I enjoyed this book enough to finish it, but just barely. If very slow burn is your cup of tea, you might really enjoy it!

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.

Normally, I'm a huge fan of contemporary romance and enemies to lovers is one of my favorite tropes but this book didn't hit the mark for me. For starters, neither character felt believable. Grace is an almost 30 design student who inherits a house from her grandparents, and Noah is a successful real estate developer who is trying to get out of his father's shadow. In Noah's case, the reader was told that he was supposedly successful and rich, but he just didn't give off that vibe and he didn't seem at all knowledgable about his profession. Honestly, I wasn't drawn to either of them; Grace overreacts to every tiny thing and Noah was goddamn pretentious; the thing is I could deal with those things if the characters showed any growth. And that leads me to my biggest grip, while we were told throughout the book how much these two characters had this wild chemistry and Grace kept going on about how she saw something different in Noah; we weren't actually shown any of those things. Where was the chemistry? I couldn't detect any, Noah had the personality of a brick and Grace was just flat. I think I sensed more personality from Josh and Rosie than those two LOL.
Another issue for me was the overall pacing of the story, it was just very awkwardly paced and it took far too long for the characters to get together that when they did it just felt odd to then have them immediately go through a conflict.
Overall, the characters just weren't well fleshed out, the pacing was lackluster, and the storyline just felt too generic.
I hate being so negative, but I found myself struggling to pick this book back up.

This novel starts off with Grace running into Noah on the beach with dogs. Perfect meet cute. THEN, he becomes her next door neighbor. Alas, Noah may not be there to stay and truly wants Grace to move out, give up her home to him and peace out ✌. With sparks flying and paint brushing, they just can't do what the other wants.
.
How to Love Your Neighbor is a tale that will have you wanting more at the end. Sophie, pleaseee tell me they'll be in your next novel. Everly and Chris were in this one! This book had me sobbing for two seconds and then laughing my heart out. The guy sitting next to me moved over one because I couldn't stop laughing, true story.
.
How to Love Your Neighbor drops January 18. But you can read Sophie's first novel, 10 Rules for Faking It now and should if you haven't!

Thanks Net Galley for the ARC!

Another cute, enemies-to-lovers story but one made unique by involving neighbors and their property developments. I enjoyed this one!! it was the perfect fluff I needed as a break from the dark thrillers I've been reading.

While I was happy with the writing and characters and plot, I didn't fall in LOVE with it though, it was missing something.

I have voluntarily read and reviewed a copy of this title given to me via NetGalley. I really enjoyed this book. It was really well written and it just had you trying to solve the mystery. I look forward to seeing what’s next from this author.
