Won't You Be My Neighbor?
Sullivan Evans has had it up to here with needy, pushy women. His one goal is to live a peaceful life devoid of females. So when his formerly quiet neighbor--a woman so elusive he calls her Bigfoot--begins talking to him, it can only mean one thing: she's on the prowl.
Blair has no idea her neighbor is eligible and wary. After being jolted from her self-contained world by the death of a local recluse, she decides to change her life and reach out. First on her list: say hello to the neighbors she has never spoken to. Her only goal is to not die alone, but a freak crossing of paths will change everything.
As Sully misreads Blair's every signal, they seem more destined to be enemies than friends. Over time, the two people who seemingly don't need anyone else just might learn they need each other the most.

Am I really supposed to believe he will redeem himself? What a douche.
May 8, 2017
I really enjoyed this book and love story. It feels like a throw back to the old Harlequin Romances.
The heroine is great. Her journey to reconnecting and working through her social anxiety is well written. We get to see what a great person she really is and all the secondary characters that come in are also special.
Our hero is a real ego manic jerk at first. Rather than annoying, it is funny. He gets peeled like and onion and his backstory is engrossing.
The friends to lovers theme is well done. Very funny and sweet (kisses only) pleasure.
Can't wait to read more by this writer!

March 28, 2020Sully may be the most narcissistic character I've read in a while. Do men actually view themselves as "eligible bachelors" and assume that literally every woman that talks to them is looking for a proposal?
Sully and Blair's first 3 interactions:
1. After living next door for a year, Blair says Hi. Just Hi. Sully thinks this is a year long ploy and she's finally making her move.
2. Blair's house is broken into and she runs next door in the night. Sully thinks this is another scheme to play the helpless damsel and get in his house and he kicks her out.
3. She returns the robe he lent her during the break-in. He assumes this is yet another scheme to get a marriage proposal from him. How does a person's mind even get here?!

היי חברים וחברות,
שבוע טוב, עם מלא בשורות טובות.
ברוכים הבאים למדור "אין מצב שהייתי ממצמצת לכיוון הספר הזה אילולא היו ממליצים לי עליו"
התחלתי את הספר הזה אתמול אחר הצהריים, וסיימתי תוך כמה שעות.. חייבת להודות שההתחלה שלו הייתה קצת קשה ולא מובנת.
אבל קיבלתי אותו עם המלצה חמה מחברה שמכירה אותי טוב, ככה שהמשכתי.
הספר ממש חמוד וקליל, על בחורה עם חרדה חברתית ענקית.. וגם בחור עם חרדה חברתית מנשים.. שמכירים.
זה גם סיפור שכנים.. אני אוהבת סיפורי שכנים!!!
הספר מתחיל מבלייר (שלדעתי יש לה אספרגר, אבל לא מציינים את זה ככה שאולי אני טועה)
היא מגיעה לטיפול
He was beautiful. He wasn’t supposed to be beautiful. He wasn’t even supposed to be a he; he was supposed to be a she. For some reason when Blair heard the name “Tristan,” she thought it belonged to a woman, but it didn’t. It belonged to a man, a very beautiful man who was young enough to be datable and old enough to be distinguished.
מהסיבה הפשוטה~
She wouldn’t date him; she wouldn’t date anyone. She would die alone and be eaten by cats, which brought her back to the reason she was here.
סיבה מוצדקת!
בלייר הייתה מתבודדת, אך לא בודדה.. היא הייתה בחורה עצמאית.
אך אחרי מות השכן שלה שאף אחד לא מצא אותו במשך חודשים חוץ מחתוליו
He had a bunch of cats and, well, let’s just say they didn’t starve in the interim.
היא התחילה לחשוש למותה ואני לא באמת מבינה למה... מה זה משנה מה יקרה אחרי שהיא תמות? היא תמות.. כבר לא יהיה אכפת לה..
אבל בסדר.
“What would you like to do about it?”“That’s the tricky part,” she answered. “I have no idea. Talking to people I don’t know makes me nervous. I break out in a cold sweat. My mind goes blank. I’m not good at making small talk or getting involved. I’ve never been a joiner. I have no idea how to change my life and, frankly, I’m not sure if I really want to. I only know that I don’t want to die alone, and right now that’s looking like a distinct possibility.”
והטיפ של הפסיכולוג הוא פשוט להגיד שלום לשכנים שלה.. לא מסובך מדי נכון? בשבילך אולי
היא עושה את זה.. וכמעט חוטפת התקף חרדה...
הספר ממשיך לצד של השכן שלה, בחור שסובל מיחס של נשים.. ככה שכאשר שכנה שבחיים לא פנתה אליו אומרת לו פתאום שלום, הוא מתחיל לאכול סרט
Had the woman finally realized she was living next door to an eligible bachelor?
סרט ממש רע
What if she had simply been biding her time, lying in wait to spring at a convenient moment? If that was the case, if she truly was on the prowl, then she was going to be sorely disappointed because Sully wasn’t. He would either have to tell her up front that he wasn’t interested or he would have to move. And he really didn’t want to move.
בנוסף דיאלוגים המדהימים שלה עם השכנים, היא מתקשרת לחברה שלה (בפעם הראשונה)
“How are you? What’s new?” I went to therapy because I don’t want to die alone and be eaten by cats. Oh, and my therapist is beautiful; I think I’m in love. “Nothing.”
ולאט לאט מתחילה לצאת מאזור הנוחות שלה
מהצד שני.. יש לנו את סאל.. שמתנהג כמו פריק
Sully sighed and swiped his hand wearily over his face. Either she really went all out in her attempts to snag a man, or he had just made a complete and utter fool of himself. He was pretty certain it was the latter. Add to that the fact that he had probably just kicked a helpless female and a victim of a home invasion outside in nothing but her lingerie, and his guilt knew no bounds.
לקראת הסוף מסבירים גם למה 🤷
אהל וואו הוא היה חתיכת פוץ
“Thanks for returning my robe. You didn’t have to make cookies. In fact, I wish you hadn’t. I don’t know any other way to say this than to come out and say it: I’m not interested in you. I don’t want to date you; I don’t even want to be friends with you. Please, let’s go back to being strangers who don’t speak or nod.” He didn’t slam the door in her face, but he closed it firmly.
התשובה שלה הייתה גאונית
“These cookies are not for you,” she said. “They’re for a children’s program at my church. I don’t bake cookies for strange men. I don’t show up in the night half-dressed at strange men’s houses. I don’t do any of the things you have accused me of doing, nor would I. Ever. Even if you were the sort of man I was interested in, I would never blatantly throw myself at you. Thank you for the robe and for patching my door. Now please never talk to me again you odd, conceited person.”
ההבנה נוחתת
He should probably try to explain things to her, to apologize and make amends. He wouldn’t, though.
והוא מתחמם אליה קצת
she said, closing her eyes against the blinding light again. “Why do you keep doing that?”“I’m checking your pupils for head trauma,” he said. “Would you know what it looks like?”“If not, then those years at medical school were a waste.”
אני ממש ממש אהבתי את ההיגיון של בלייר 🤣
In books, men were always putting their hands on the small of a woman’s back and the women always liked it. Blair wanted to moo; she felt like a cow being herded toward the slaughter house.
ודי קשה לה במצב החברתי החדש הזה
“You make it sound easy, but if it was easy, then I wouldn’t be in this predicament.”“What predicament?” he asked. She didn’t want to tell him about her therapy sessions with Tristan. “This!” she said instead, circling her arms to encompass her yard. “Pouring out my problems to a crazy neighbor who thinks I’m only after his body,” she said.
לא שסאלי עוזר...
“I can’t believe I just said that.”“Me, neither,” Sully said. “I thought you wanted me for my money. I never guessed it was my body all along.”
והוא אוהב לשגע אותה
“You make me want to break things.” He smiled down at her. “I know.” He looked delighted.
למרות שגם לו קשה בסיטואציה הזו
The sooner he got her out of his mind, car, and nostrils, the better.
יש להם חשיבה זהה 😍
“An occasional bout of children. You make them sound like a disease.”“Aren’t they? You get them from contact with another person. Doesn’t that count as a disease?”
לקראת הסוף.. סאלי מוצא את הביצים שלו ומציע לה להיות ביחד.... וזה לא הולך כמצופה...
מזל שהאחיינית שלו באה לעזור 🤣
“She’s quiet,” he said. “This was different. I’ve talked with her a few times. Something is up with her. And since you’re a man, I figure it must be you. What did you do?”“Nothing!” Sully exclaimed, and then thought better of it. “I’m not having this discussion with you. You’re a kid. I’m not desperate enough to seek advice from someone half my age.”
והוא מנסה...
“It worked for you. I wanted it to work for me.”“What worked?” she asked. “Somehow you took a guy who had sworn off women forever and made him fall hopelessly in love with you. You’re all I think about lately, Blair. I’ve become borderline creepy since we met. I watch your house, wondering what you’re up to. Every time I read a foot x-ray, I think of your perfect feet.”“That’s weird,” Blair inserted. “I know, and I can’t help it. You’re funny, and sweet, and smart, and cute. You smell amazing. I’ve become like a teenager again, just waiting and hoping for the opportunity to catch a glimpse of you. I messed things up when I was trying to explain the other day, but I meant what I said then. We’re well-suited to each other. We get each other. We’re friends, and I love you—sort of desperately.” He covered her hand where it lay on his chest and gave her a sweet, hopeful smile. She pulled her hand away and settled it in her lap. “Sully, I wish you hadn’t done all this. It makes it that much harder to tell you I can’t.” Her voice broke and tears filled her eyes. “I just can’t. I’m sorry.”
ומצליח בסופו של דבר.

HuOk, imma let you in on a little secret: I avoid clean romance. I suppose I like smut a bit too much, but really it's that I love reading about the entire journey of a couple- emotionally, personally, intimately.
And often the clean romance stories have this... saccharin taste to them. A little falsely sweet, you know?
All that to say- this is the first clean romance I've actually enjoyed since i began reading them! I'm impressed.
The setup was perfect. H was an asshole at first but was self-aware and corrected it.
The dialogue was crisp and witty.
The characters all seemed realistic even if they were brief vignettes.
Both MCs experienced personal growth, so rare in a books under 300 pages.
The shift from curmudgeon to likeable twit to romantic hero was adorable.
The shift from anxious to healing to victorious heroine was empowering (and very relatable)
The book made me laugh more than i expected, and gave me those little heart flutters at the end.

Blair is 29 years old and really introverted. She lives a structured life, mostly alone. When she sees the news about someone being found months after death she gets scared and seeks therapy. First step is to say hi to her neighbors.
Sullivan (Sully) is a doctor who has been living next to Blair for over a year and when 'Miss Prim' - as he nicknamed her - says 'hi' and then seeks shelter with him after a nightly break-in, he gets worried. Worried she is chasing him. So he makes sure she understands he is NOT interested. But he keeps an eye on her and can't stop thinking about her in her nightie.
This is such a lovely book. You see Blair trying to connect to other people and it is described in a quiet, sensible way. Like Blair. And Sully and Blair strike up an unusual friendship that is slowly turning into more.
It is about Blair changing and also having an impact on other people. And I loved the quiet romance. It gave me a bit of a vintage romance novel feeling.
So I give it 5 stars.

A perfect little romance for a quiet afternoon…or for an afternoon when all three of your kids have a stomach virus and all your plans are cancelled and you’re needing a distraction from toilet time and carpet vacuums. Though these are self-published books, I found the story had more polish than some books coming from publishing houses.
I really liked Blair and her journey to be more social. I also loved the web she wove to connect everyone around her. The romance with Sully was a little forced, and some of his background was a bit heavy handed. I would have liked to see the relationship she had with her therapist developed a little more, maybe serve as more of a stand-in for what she considered a perfect relationship (one-sided and an hour a week). Aside from that, the book is filled with funny quips - I loved the author’s sense of humor.

I'm always grateful for a book with main characters who have mental illnesses and Blair started out perfectly representing a couple anxiety disorders but it quickly turned into an unrealistic example of "healing". I realize every one has different experiences with therapy and it's pretty hard to accurately portray them in a short novel but it seems like Blair was written that way just to be different and then it was quickly forgotten about when it wasn't convenient to write about. It was a cute story with funny moments and pretty detailed characters for how short it was. The ending was obviously rushed, I'm glad it was a happy one but I feel like it didn't get the time it deserved.

Fun and romantic
I enjoy a book you can just smile through and leave the stress of life behind with. Vanessa has accomplished that with this fun romantic read. The characters are unique and the story has a good pace. Really enjoyed it and recommend it for some stress free relaxation.

Take two very different people living next door to each other, both of whom are not interested in marriage, throw them together a bit, and you’ve got a Hallmark movie in a book. Won’t You Be My Neighbor? ends exactly how you expect it will which is also exactly how you want it to. It’s an easy, short read, a perfect mind vacation. I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys very light romance.

The best yet
I have read quite a few of Vanessa's books and each time I am delighted of each story line. Just loved, Loved this one as well and think it was the best yet about the shy gal trying to get into being with people. Done very well.

Cute book!
This is one of the cutest books I've ever read even with all their OCD. It didn't need a formula, a plot, a mystery, a lot of action or anything else other than what it was to make it an entertaining and funny book. I loved it!

Love this books. Such a good story about an introvert who rarely comes out of her house and her neighbor. Fun, light book.

This was a short, delightful, not sappy, love story about two misfit next door neighbors. Not my usual cup of tea but it was a welcome break from the heavy stuff.

Cute book. Closed door romance. Quirky characters, but I enjoyed reading the story.
