How to Not Fall for the Guy Next Door: A Closed-Door Romantic Comedy

The childhood crush I thought I’d never see again? He just became my next-door neighbor.

I moved across the country to start fresh—not to catch feelings for Ian Kendrick all over again. Especially not when we’re both recovering from breakups, and definitely not when he’s living ten feet away from my front door.

But Ian is charming and thoughtful and dangerously good with power tools. He helps his grandma with her groceries and builds things with his hands, for goodness’ sake. If I had a checklist for The Perfect Guy, he’d be it… which is exactly why I cannot fall for him.

So I make a list. A very sensible, very necessary list of how to not fall for the guy next door.

Because if I do, and this thing between us doesn’t work? I’ll lose more than just a rebound—I’ll lose my shot at a fresh start.

If you love witty heroines, swoony slow-burns, and cozy romantic comedies with heart, you’ll adore How to Not Fall for the Guy Next Door.
