Books The Neighbor Favor (The Greene Sisters)  by Kristina Forest

The Neighbor Favor by Kristina Forest is the first book in The Greene Sisters series. The story follows Lily Greene, a shy and bookish editorial assistant who feels overshadowed by her accomplished sisters. She dreams of editing children’s fantasy books but is stuck in the nonfiction division with no promotion in sight.

Lily discovers that her favorite fantasy author, N.R. Strickland, has a website and she emails him while stuck on a subway train. To her surprise, he responds and they develop a deep correspondence that turns into a tentative friendship, but he suddenly ghosts her.

Months later, Lily meets her charming new neighbor, Nick Brown, who agrees to help her find a date for her sister Violet’s wedding. Unbeknownst to Lily, Nick is actually N.R. Strickland, struggling with his own issues and hesitant to begin a relationship. Despite his efforts to push her away, Nick finds himself falling for Lily.
