Hi, book buddies ☺ Let me entertain you with a pretty good laugh. And this book packs a lot of them!
NUMBER NEIGHBORS, is an all-new, side-splittingly hilarious neighbors-to-lovers romcom from New York Times bestselling author, Emma Hart.
What happens when your number neighbor turns out to be your hot, British, next-door neighbor?
Bad Idea #241: Sending a dirty text to your number neighbor.
In my defense, my friends did it too, and their neighbors took it as the joke it was.
Mine didn’t.
He responded with a dirty text of his own. Next thing I know, I have a standing texting date every night at ten-thirty.
Until I have to miss it because the stray kitten who adopted me one week ago is sick. The only person I know who can help me at this time of night is my British next-door neighbor and local vet, Isaac Cooper.
I’ll keep him overnight, he says. Here’s my number to call me in the morning, he says.
The problem?
I know that number.
Because I’ve been texting it every night for the last four days.
MY OPINION
A hilarious neighbour romance from the quirky mind of this author.A vet with a British accent clashes tongues and texts with a combative girl who has almost adopted a kitten. The exchanges between these two characters are provocative, sarcastic, and engrossing.
Every time I read a story by EH, I have to brace for impact. The cutting dialogues seem like a long intake of breath that leave you exhausted with anticipation and incredulous smiles. The couple here has a unique problem. They have texted each other anonymously with very wanton expectations, and those scenes are both funny and hot. Great way to start the story. When they find out their identities, shame and possibilities explode between them. Loved it!
I enjoyed the unorthodox book club of bold grannies with their shameless talks, the sweet yet sharp-clawed cat, the kind and imperviously curious hunk vet. He is easygoing, charming, a man who helps animals. I liked him a lot. Especially because he manages to convince Hannah and her cautious attitude to give their insane attraction a chance.
With all the scenes about animals and friends and grandmas, the plot actually shows the beginnings of a relationship with the get-to-meet-you dialogues, the mind-blowing passion, and the first tentative steps towards trust. I had a good time with the plant anecdote, the shelter visit, and the dates. A nice romcom.
