I enjoyed how The Neighbor Favor balanced depth with lightheartedness. The pacing in the beginning kind of threw me off, but as I kept reading, I could see how central it was to the rest of the plot. (Plus, it gave a little bit of "You Got Mail," which is one of my favorite rom-coms.) The sincerity captured between the characters Lily and Nick felt very authentic, and I loved how passionate they were both about books. This book felt like an ode to book lovers. Plus, I loved Lily's quirkiness, and I feel like you don't get to see enough Black women be quirky in romances.
