The Neighbor Favor

I adored Kristina Forest’s YA novels Now That I’ve Found You and I Wanna Be Where You Are, so when I heard she penned a bookish adult romance, I was ready to be charmed. Lily Greene dreams of editing children’s books like the fantasy novels she grew up reading, but for now she’s stuck with nonfiction and no career advancement on the horizon. As a means of escape, she strikes up an email correspondence with the author of her favorite obscure fantasy novel, someone she admires and sees as a potential mentor. Unbeknownst to Lily, this author is actually around her age and moves into her apartment building a few months later. These two shy, quiet bibliophiles find friendship and perhaps something more, even as author Nick Brown discovers Lily is indeed his mystery pen pal.
