Review of 'The neighbor' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
If you like the type of slow burn that is actually a roiling animosity that spills over into jealousy, then eventually into love—this is a fantastic read. Laura and Cassidy were both so unsavory in my opinion, and their cattiness and backwards perspectives (like un-feminist lesbians?) was a lot to swallow as a reader, especially in the first two thirds of the book. But, these two women turn out to be a good match for each other and their chemistry was sublime.
Nicol Zanzarella, as always, nails this narration, and her acting for Laura’s mother Maggie was especially well done. Overall, The Neighbor had me in several different emotional states as I read, and not all of them were positive, but the last chunk of the book packed a wallop and wrapped everything up very nicely. Also… hot.
