I really love the cover and the premise of this book but never fully got invested. Low angst and no steam is all fine and well I needed SOMETHING to hold my attention and I just never really got it.

A really great story, charming, atmospheric, great characters. Filled me with warmth and spirit. Well written and flowed nicely, was romantic and funny, charming and full of fun. A great read, i really enjoyed it.

A classic enemies-to-lovers rom-com with a splash of HGTV style fun. This is a great, breezy novel to pick up and sit with for the afternoon. In addition to a sweet romance the friends and family that come with the both protagonists are delightful, I especially enjoyed Grace's old roommate - an elderly gentleman named Morty. I was also pleasantly surprised at the depth, there was some really good stuff in this book about toxic relationships and reliance on friends. Overall, a good read and I would pick up others by Sophie Sullivan.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the eARC in return for a fair and honest review.

I really liked This Time Next Year by Sophie so I was definitely looking forward to the next book in her line up.

I love Just Haven't Met You Yet, so much more than the last one. Nothing wrong with TTNY but I think I love the sweet moments between Laura and Ted more. Laura is a journalist for a company called Love Life and she askes couples "how did you meet". Following her own parents love story, Laura is sent on a trip to find out more about her parents and maybe find a love like theirs for herself. But everything goes wrong. She takes someone else's suitcase when leaving the airport and goes on a "wild" journey trying to find her suitcase and the person who may have it. When she looks at the suitcase she does have, the items in there are similiar to her own tastes so she thinks this could be a "meet cute" moment for her and the start of a great relationship. On her journey she meets Ted, the cabdriver who unwilling takes her around different locations where her parents took photos at and try to find the man who owns the suitcase she has.

"We need to stop trying to prove ourselves to people that aren't even paying attention."

We all love an enemies-to-lovers rom com, and this book gives you exactly that. Grace Travis has her life planned out: finish design school, get her dream job, and stay away from her toxic mother. When she gets the chance to design a small house near the beach, she jumps for it. But plans get ruined when the annoying neighbour, Noah Jansen, moves in. Noah's got plans of his own, which includes stepping away from his father's business and goals, and following his own path to success. Noah wants to buy the house Grace currently resides in, and have it be a part of his real estate development. But of course, Grace won't budge. However, through all the bickering and banter, chemistry also occurs. But, Grace is in no stage to fall for this man. After all the men that have come and gone in her mom's life, Grace knows not to let any man get in the way of her goals and dreams. But why can't she resist Noah? Why is Noah gaining feels of all sorts for Grace? This book definitely has the whole golden boy falling for the girl-next-door vibe, and I'm honestly here for it.

I tried. I really tried. Parts of this book were fun and sweet, namely the friendships and family relationships, but overall there was a lot that wasn’t believable and the main characters just continued to grate on me. There was potential and I just kept waiting for that potential to be fulfilled, but eventually had to admit that it simply wasn’t going to happen.

Thank you to NetGalley and St Martin’s Press for providing an eARC in exchange for an honest review.

This was a cute enemies to lover romance that was super fluffy and easy to listen to. I enjoyed the home improvement background to this novel and I enjoyed the characters. I had hoped for more from this book, it seemed to be missing something, but I couldn't quite place what. It's not the best romcom I have ever read, but it was fun!

But one of my favorites, it was cute, and romantic but overall nothing really stood out. Opposite attract and fake relationship, good humor.

While I am a fan of Sophie Sullivan on social media, I did not enjoy this book. I did not read her previous title, but I found this to be boring and a chore to read through.

Such a fun listen!! We meet two people who have so little in common you know you’re in for a good enemies to friends or possibly more storyline! All that Grace wants is a home to call her own. A place where she feels safe, secure, can plant some roots and truly make her own by using her nearly there interior design degree. She’s found that in the house she inherited from her grandparents and she couldn’t be happier about it. That is until she meets Noah, a handsome, smart and seriously annoying neighbor. He’s a successful businessman who always gets what he wants and what he wants right now is a pool right where her house is and he rarely does not achieve his goals. One look at Grace and he just knows that she is going to fall at his feet and be so grateful for the money he is going to give her to just go away. She is not of her “ilk” and surely “his” money will be a game changer for her. Let the games begin! This was so much fun to listen to. She may be small in stature, but she’s smart, tough, knows who she is an what she wants and doesn’t want or need his money. She is going to use her degree and incredible talent to make her own! This was fun, ironic, snarky and sarcastic and it was a nice change to have a woman stand up for herself and rescue herself. I am very much looking forward to more from this wonderful author. So far she is two for two.

Noah is a real estate developer trying to make a name in the home renovation world. Grace is in interior design school hope for her big break after graduation. Noah and Grace are new neighbors and they don’t start off on a good foot. For Noah to be able to renovate his home the way he wants to , he’ll have to get Grace to sell her family home. Noah and Grace are at each other’s throats and then are forced to work together.

This is a cute neighbors to hate to maybe something more story. The characters were fun and cute at times. I don’t know that I fulling connected to the characters and sometimes the story got a little stale I just needed something more from the story.

I received this book in exchange for my honest opinion.

How To Love Your Neighbor by Sophie Sullivan is a very enjoyable read. The book is well written and entertaining. Loved the characters and story line.

I enjoyed this one - a touch of enemies to lovers and forced proximity mixed with some HGTV magic. I wouldn't call it true enemies-to-lovers, since they hit it off from the beginning, but their irritation and shared meddling is fun. The slow-burn closed-door romance is sweet, and they both deal with some toxic family issues that bring them together, but I was left wanting more of their emotional bond. It's cute - go give it a read when your mood is a bit of a fixer-upper. (see what I did there? You’re welcome.)

Thanks St. Martin's Griffin and NetGalley for the advanced read in exchange for my honest review.

I wanted so badly to love this book, but it fell flat. I wasn’t invested at all and I was frustrated. I think that I’ve decided that Sophie Sullivan just isn’t the author for me.

Unfortunately this book was not for me. It had potential but it fell flat. Thank you for letting me read and review this book.

Fun, spicy, and full of heart. This book was a fast read and a joyful ride. Thank you to NetGalley and this publisher for allowing me early access to this book. Will keep an eye out for additional works by this author!

Yessss to a sunshine and grump trope it’s quickly becoming a fave for me! Home renovation made this feel like watching a mash up of HGTV and a good rom com and the couple was adorable

If you love HGTV, look no further! This book was cute and delved into a setting I’ve seen rarely in romance novels - a home improvement setting! What threw me off about this book was the pacing. I enjoyed the slow burn of the relationship with the tension in the beginning and then all of a sudden the romance started moving at a million miles an hour. Overall, enjoyed myself and would recommend!

This book had all the home renovations vibes with a closed door romance , enemies to lovers troupe. I’m a closed for kinda gal. Love a good romance but shut the door please.

Grace and Noah are neighbours and Noah desperately wants to buy Graces house she just inherited from her grandparents.

They both never suspected the home renovation and romance games that were about to hit the paint.

A cute read -- I enjoyed their dynamic and their flirty banter. I felt that at some points it relied too heavily on pretty standard tropes for the romance genre, but overall a fun cute read.
