My Review:

How To Not Fall for the Guy Next Door is the first book I have read by Meg Easton, but it will not be the last (I have already started the next book!).

This book is super cute with lots of funny moments. I listened to it on audiobook, and Adrienne Fleming did a fabulous job of bringing the characters to life. It is a quick listen (less than 2 days) and leaves you wanting more. 

Read for:

🫐meet-cute

🫐involving blueberries

🫐roommates

🫐technically second chance

🫐secret deodorant

🫐sweet grandmas

🫐fun banter

🫐baby-sitting scene

🫐sweetest story

My only regret is letting this one sit on my TBR for over 3 years. I highly recommend this one and look forward to listening to the rest of the series, I can't wait to hear Addison's roommates' stories.

★★★★/5

Synopsis (Goodreads):  

I ran into my childhood crush after twelve years…and of course, he’s now my next-door neighbor.

Let me just say this I have zero plans to fall for Ian Kendrick. Not after my recent breakup. Not with all the embarrassing memories I’m sure he still has of me from when we were kids. And definitely not while we’re living a few feet apart, because if it doesn’t work out, things will get super awkward.

But Ian had to go and grow up into the kind of guy who builds things with his hands, dotes on his sweet grandma, and flashes that smile like it doesn’t make my knees weak. (It totally does).

So I do what any rational, emotionally vulnerable woman would I make a list. A very detailed, very practical list of how to not fall for the guy next door.

Because falling for him? That would be a disaster...right?

If you love laugh-out-loud moments, loads of chemistry, and feel-good happily ever afters, you’ll love How to Not Fall for the Guy Next Door.
