The Neighbor Favor

DEBUT Months ago, Lily Greene was ghosted by N.B. “Strick” Strickland, an author she’d been getting to know online. At the time, she was heartbroken. Not only had he written her favorite book (the one that inspired her career goals), but she also felt they’d had a real connection. Strick (whose real name is Nick Brown) was half in love with Lily before he ghosted her, but his life was—and is—a mess, and she deserved better. Imagine his surprise when the cute neighbor in his building turns out to be the woman he had been emailing. His life hasn’t gotten any less messy, but he can’t stay away from the girl of his dreams. But will she still like him when she discovers his secrets? This swoony, contemporary romance with fully realized characters will have readers hooked from the first page, and the protagonists, who are Black, have deep, relatable backstories.
