The Neighbor Favor
von Kristina Forest
A shy bookworm enlists her charming neighbor to help her score a date, not knowing he’s the obscure author she’s been corresponding with, in this sparkling and heart-fluttering romance by Kristina Forest.Shy, bookish, and admittedly awkward, Lily Greene has always felt inadequate compared to the rest of her accomplished family, who strive for Black excellence. She dreams of becoming a children’s books editor, but she’s been frustratingly stuck in the nonfiction division for years without a promotion in sight. Lily finds escapism in her correspondences with her favorite fantasy author, and what begins as two lonely people connecting over email turns into a tentative friendship and possibly something else Lily won’t let herself entertain—until he ghosts her without a word.Months later, Lily is still crushed, but she’s determined to get a hold of her life, starting with finding a date to her sister’s wedding. And the perfect person to help her is Nick Brown, her charming, attractive new neighbor, who she feels drawn to for reasons she can’t explain. But little does she know, Nick is an author—her favorite fantasy author.Nick, who has his reasons for using a pen name and pushing people away, soon realizes that the beautiful, quiet girl from down the hall is the same Lily he fell in love with over email months ago. Unwilling to complicate things even more between them, he agrees to set her up with someone else, though this simple favor between two neighbors is anything but—not when he can't get her off his mind...

Rezension von Marlene Das Buch war wirklich schön! Ich fand die emails, die sie sich am Anfang geschrieben haben und man miterlebt hat, wie sie sich in einander verknallt haben auch sehr schön zu lesen. Das Buch war sehr realistisch und man konnte es gut als Überbrückung lesen. Die kleinen New York Momente, die beschrieben wurden, waren so als würde man genau dort den Moment miterleben. Ich war sehr skeptisch, ob mir die Perspektive der aus der dritten Person gefallen, hat mir jedoch nicht so viel ausgemacht wie ich anfangs dachte. Leider hat mir jedoch die Spannung einfach gefehlt und auch die Anziehungskraft der beiden hätte einfach stärker sein können. Ich mochte Nick und auch Lily, jedoch war mir an manchen Stellen die Kommunikation etwas zu wenig, was ich echt zwischenzeitlich schwer fand zu lesen. Zum Ende hat sich das Buch auch etwas gezogen. Was aber wirklich toll war, was die Beziehung zwischen beiden. Beide fanden sich auf bestimmte Weise voneinander angezogen und das mitzuverfolgen war echt Sweet. Mir hat die Romantik in dem Buch jedoch echt gefehlt. Ich hab das Buch als Blind Date in Brooklyn geshoppt und hab mich sehr gefreut es zu lesen. Es war ein Buch, das ich als etwas leichtes gebraucht habe.☺️
