The Neighbor Favor Author: Kristina Forest

The Neighbor Favor by Kristina Forest is a charming contemporary romance that blends anonymity, literary passion, and neighborly connection into a heart-stealing story. The novel centers on Lily Greene, a shy editorial assistant who’s more comfortable with fictional heroes than real-life dating. Her heart sparks when she begins an email correspondence with her favorite reclusive author—only for him to vanish unexpectedly.

Fast-forward a few months, Lily is focused on finding a date for her sister’s wedding and is drawn to Nick, the handsome, quiet guy who just moved into the apartment next door. But what Lily doesn’t know is that Nick is the very author she once wrote to—and he's hiding behind guilt, past regrets, and a pseudonym.

As their real-life connection deepens, both must confront truths about identity, vulnerability, and the risks of falling in love. Forest’s storytelling shines with authenticity, witty banter, and emotional resonance. The characters are endearing and layered, and the romance builds organically with tension, sweetness, and meaningful stakes.

With praise from romance icons like Rachel Lynn Solomon, The Neighbor Favor is perfect for fans of slow-burn love stories, bookish protagonists, and clever romantic twists. It’s a cozy celebration of love, trust, and the magic that unfolds when you dare to be honest with your heart.
