The Grump Next Door by Brighton Walsh
4.0

Just finished The Grump Next Door by Brighton Walsh and it was the perfect mix of sweet & spicy! 🍭🌢️

This was my first read from the author and I’m already ready to dive into more, such an easy, breezy story that gave total swoony escape vibes. Sutton and Atlas completely won me over, and her daughter Laurel added a heartwarming, Gilmore Girls style touch to the story. πŸ’πŸΌβ€β™€οΈπŸ’•

Both Sutton and Atlas are lonely in different ways, and watching them slowly find comfort, connection, and love in each other was so satisfying. Add in the humor, the heat, and some delightful small town charm, and I was hooked!

✨Tropes I loved:
πŸ’˜ Fake dating
🌀️ Grump x Sunshine
πŸ‘©β€πŸ‘§ Single mom 
πŸ”₯ One night stand
🏑 Neighbors / Forced proximity

This one gave me all the feels and all the smiles. Highly recommend if you’re in the mood for something heartwarming and a little spicy!
