The Neighbours by Nicola Gill

Posted on By
Chick Lit, Romance
Publisher: Avon (2/6/2020)

Ginny is about to turn 35 and finds herself jobless, roommate-less, boyfriend-less, and desperately wanting a baby. Cassie, Ginny’s neighbor, is an almost washed up actress with a lot of issues of her own. Somehow, these two women form a deep friendship.

I really wanted to like this book a lot more than I actually did. This particular genre is one I turn to for fun, light-hearted reading as a break from some of the heavier books I read. Unfortunately, this particular book just dragged. I didn’t mind the heavier topics–infidelity, depression, etc.–but I did mind that they seemed to come out of absolutely nowhere. I also didn’t like how weak Ginny was–she lets men treat her however they want, and when she finally meets a nice man, she acts like she’s 14 instead of 35.

The ending was fine, but by the time we finally got to that point, I didn’t really care about Ginny or Cassie anymore, unfortunately.
