The Neighbor Favor by Kristina Forest is messy but really good! The book follows Lily as she starts an online friendship with an author who has lied about a lot of his life. The author then ghosts Lily and she tries to move on with her life. She meets Nick, a neighbor who is the author who ghosted her. Now you might be like me and think that this man followed her and scream out "YOU ARE IN DANGER!!" but he actually coincidentally moved into her building. Nick realizes that Lily was the person he was communicating with and instead of coming clean or leaving her alone he tries ghosting her again. He is too attracted to her to leave her alone and just wants to be friends, yeah right. Anyway, the book is messy as hell but is so good! 

My favorite part of the book was when Nick was so jealous of the guy that Lily goes on a date with, but I'm petty so I enjoyed that. My least favorite part was that Nick was a straight up liar and I am defined by the saying "I forget but I never forgive" because I had forgotten what he did at the start but was mad at him the entire time. I know it sounds like I hated Nick but I swear I don't, like I get why he lied but he is still a liar. I ate this book up because it was so good. I loved the sisters and I am excited to read the rest of the series!
