Welcome back to Flip the Page. We're back with episode 10, where we'll be tapping into The Neighbor Favor by Kristina Forest. This may or may not be the beginning of a sub-series to find peak straight Black romance reads... stay tuned.
The Neighbor Favor is an adult contemporary romance book centered on Lily Greene, a 25-year-old Black woman, currently working in the nonfiction division of a publishing house, but with dreams of working as an editor for children’s books. Lily comes from a well-established and accomplished family and due to the nature of her job and salary, she struggles with feeling inadequate in comparison.
When one of Lily's sisters announce their wedding, Lily decides to enlist the help of her new neighbor, Nick, to secure herself a date to the wedding to finally take control of her life.
Nick Brown is charming, attractive, emotionally unavailable and unbeknownst to Lily, her favorite fantasy author who ghosted her months prior. Upon realizing Lily is the woman he caught feelings for via email and ghosted shortly after, Nick decides it’s probably for the best that he not go as Lily’s date to her sister’s wedding, but instead, help her secure a date to the wedding then promptly exit out of her life to avoid complicating things. Of course, the simple favor he extends to Lily leads to complications as feelings inevitably resurface between the two.
