The Neighbor Wager by Crystal Kaswell

-
River grew next door to the sister. He has been in love with Lexi since he first saw her. He moved to NY and has recently moved back to be close to his grandma, while she is sick. All of those feelings come back the moment he sees her again.

Deanna and Lexi are two sisters, as different from each other, as you can be. Lexi is blond, bubbly, full of life and desperately afraid of commitment. Deanna is dark, serious, driven and eager to prove herself. They made a dating app together and need investors. Lexi found her perfect match through it but is afraid that it to become serious. Deanna needs that relationship to work, so she can prove that love can predicated by the algorithm. She also needs to keep River away from her sister, so they make a wager, but the more time they spend together, the more sparks fly between them. But this time love is not based on fairytale, but on reality.

Every guy she even liked, fell for Lexi sooner or later. And River has spent literary years in love with her, so it will take something bit to convince Deanne to give their love a chance.

It is a slow-paced story, we get to know characters before they start to really interact. It's not the style I usually like, but it works well for the story. I liked the unlikely match romance aspect and how they all deal with issues.

You know that feeling when you read a great book and someone asks you what it is about, but nothing comes to mind, except it's sooo good, you have to read it ? Wish Upon a Streaming Star is that kind of a book. It's hilarious with seriously witty bickering, romantic (that Dirty Dancing lift... omg), but also manages to pull at every one of your heartstrings- there is one scene where I cried my eyes out along with the characters. Caz and Dizzy are next-door neighbors. They have been best friends since forever, until the start of the Senior year, when something happened and they have been avoiding each other ever since. Caz is a very famous YouTuber. He started his video as a way to deal with the grief of losing a father, and it ballooned into something big, but it also changed everything, and not all in a good way. Dizzy is trying to keep her life together. The family business is failing and her mother's cancer, it's a lot to put on one girl's shoulder. She has spent...

Naomi and Luca grew up on opposite sides of the country. In the 5th grade, they became pen pals for a school assignment and never stopped writing to each other, until 2 years ago, when the letters stopped. But the letters weren't sweet or heartfelt, they were filled with hate and mean words, and they always tried to outdo each other in their insults. Slowly, over time, underneath all those jabs, a friendship developed. Naomi works at the TV station as a weathergirl. And then she received a new letter at work, from Luca, but without his new address. She and her friend go on a whole adventure to find him, flying across the country, and finding more about his life along the way. At the same time, the cute neighbour asks her out and they start to date. There is this insane chemistry between them, but her heart is torn between two guys. It's so so good! I couldn't put it down. It's funny, sweet and heartfelt all at the same time... and there are many steamy scenes too! :) Hi...

rating ❤❤❤ ❤ ❤ cover ❤ ❤ ❤ He is her brother's best friend and her biggest enemy. He insulted her when they first met and it has just gone downhill from there. Each encounter is filled with insults and pranks that get worse each time. It all escalated when he came to a Christmas holiday with her brother. There is mad tension between them, shifting from hate to attraction. The romance is fast, and steamy. There is mad tension between them and sparks just fly. Once I started reading it, I couldn't stop, it's so addicting! It's light, fun, and full of chemistry and pranks. :) Goodreads  //  Amazon happy reading, anie
