It’s hard to stay away when you’re next-door neighbors.
So what if the guy Addison Sparks had a crush on when she was thirteen just so happens to be her next-door neighbor when she moves across the country for a fresh start? And so what if she embarrasses herself in front of him...
Repeatedly.
If Ian Kendrick hadn’t grown up to be so good-looking, kind to his grandma, skilled at carpentry, and completely dateable, then it wouldn’t be so difficult to stay away from him.
Addison is just getting over a breakup, though, and Ian is, too. She doesn’t need the kind of awkwardness that would come from living next to someone who would surely be just a rebound if they ever dated.
Nope. What she needs is to make a list to constantly remind herself how to not fall for the guy next door.
My Review: 5 Stars
Ian and Addison are fantastic stars in this adorable romantic comedy. It's one thing to be awkward around your teenage crush, but when the embarrassing encounters continue years later, it's blush-worthy and makes for some great laugh-out-loud moments.
Both Addison and Ian are fresh off of bad breakups and ready for new starts and I loved how they were able to build on an old summertime friendship from the past with the perfect amount of familiarity and clean intimacy.
Addison's relationship with her sister made me miss my own and her fortitude in her new start is heartening. I loved her eclectic group of roommates and hope they each get a story because I'm not ready to leave this small town quite yet. Ian is a very appealing character, with his hands-on job and a winsome attitude--especially when Addison finds herself in pickle after pickle.
The way this couple navigates life's challenges, chasing after dreams, hearts, and everything in between was pure delight. I dare you not to swoon!
