Another amazing sunshine meets grump troupe with stimulating enemies to lovers premise: two neighbors who cannot stand each other with volatile chemistry find themselves partnering for special magazine interview for showing how to design your own home effectively!

Grace is in her mid-twenties, design student, working at different jobs to make her ends meet including dog walking, serving coffee: but she is skillful handyman who is capable of fixing anything thanks for nothing to her mother who neglected her throughout childhood and she learned to survive at the trailer park junk by herself.

She’s inherited her grandparents’ house and now she’s ready to move there for starting her brand new life to pursue her dreams: she will fix the slowly with her limited financial sources but her dear ambitious real estate developer/ new neighbor Noah she already bumped into when he was surfing ( of course she drooled over him after seeing his six packs) has another plans like buying her house for wider space for constructing pool!

Grace is too stubborn to let him win. Of course her charming neighbor Noah is also stubborn man with sharpened negotiation skills to force her change her mind.

He already moved to West Coast after being public face of his father’s company and he never approved his father’s business ethics. By changing his location, he plans to have a fresh start, making friends, doing charity works and finding his life purpose.

He wants to have the place all to himself. But this energetic, animated, gold hearted, eccentric neighbor of him is about to rethink his life choices by attracting his full attention.

Their chemistry is undeniable. Maybe they can make peace and they can be benefited from the magazine interview offer by working together to get better opportunities for their own careers. But when the sparks fly between them, it’s impossible to stay in the professional line, isn’t it?

By the way Noah is Chris’ brother from “Ten Rules for faking it “ so if you love the author’s previous book, you’ll love to see Chris and Everly’s cameos at this book! Good to see them back!

I have to admit: I loved this book so much more than the author’s previous book. I loved both MCs who suffer from dysfunctional parent issues, how they leave their comfort zones, how their characters evolve and I truly loved them as couple! This is one of most romantic book I’ve read lately!

Special thanks to NetGalley,dear Rivka Holler and St Martin’s Press/ St. Martin’s Griffin for sharing this digital reviewer copy with me in exchange my honest opinions.

I have been not so patiently waiting for Sophie Sullivan's second book for WAY too long. I loved 10 Rules, but think I just might love How to Love Your Neighbor even more. Noah is a real estate developer who is trying to break free from the image he gained while working with his dad. He moves to a fixer upper on the beach in California and right next door to Grace. Grace is a design student with big goals and a small bank account. She is working nonstop to be successful in school and to make ends meet. When she inherits her grandparents cottage on the beach, her only dream is to move in and fix it up. This neighbors situation creates an enemies to lovers set up that is fun and playful, but not too mean. It creates a tension between Noah and Grace that keeps you turning pages and ignoring your family (that's when you know its good!). The depth of emotion is spot on. The cameos from 10 Rules are so good. I can't wait to share this one with pretty much everyone.

Notes for the reader: This can totally be read stand alone. It is closed door, but done very well.
