You know when books get simultaneously swoony but cringy but also incredibly funny? That's this

Katie Bailey’s ability to write suspenseful love stories while refusing to give in to the third act break-up trope is truly extraordinary. 

Exploring both Courtney and Aiden’s journeys to unpick a lifetime of doubt and insecurity in order to find the people they want to be was really beautiful. Both characters had to learn to communicate, let down their walls, and believe in themselves in The Neighbor War, and I loved it. There is nothing like an HEA when the characters really put in the work and deserve it.

YES. THIS WAS SO GOOD.

I LOVED IT!! I'm so happy that my expectations were met. I loved Courtney from the moment she appeared in book one. Her quirks and humor were gold, I loved every single one of them.

This book had an amazing balance between being realistic and swoon-romantic at the same time. The characters have depth, it feels like I actually know them and that they exist.

This was cute and funny. Courtney and Aiden's story is so beautiful. My cousin is the same as Courtney, minus the pump, and I know the struggle of dealing with it. It's an inspiring story of both having confidence in yourself and opening up to people.

If you're looking for a quick, light and romantic read, this is for you. It's got clean romance and is very swoon-worthy. I hope when other people read this, they would enjoy it as much as I did.
