BLOG TOUR: The Neighbours by Nicola Gill

The Neighbours, Nicola Gill

Some women have it all. Others are thirty-four and rent a tiny flat alone because they recently found their long-term boyfriend in bed with their boss. Ginny Taylor is certain her life can’t get any worse. But then she meets her downstairs neighbour…

Cassie Frost was once a beloved actress, but after a recent mishap she desperately needs a new publicist. And Ginny is a publicist who desperately needs a job – but can she be persuaded to work for the prickly woman who lives below her floorboards?

Ginny and Cassie are two very different women, but they have more in common than they’d care to imagine (or admit). And when their worlds collide, they realise that sometimes – just sometimes – bad neighbours become good friends…

A funny, honest and moving exploration of life, love, friendship and navigating the emotional rollercoaster of your thirties… and beyond. Perfect for fans of Beth O’Leary’s The Flatshare and Ruth Jones’s Never Greener.

Claire's Review ⭐⭐⭐

This book is about Cassie and Ginny. Ginny is a 34-year-old who thinks she knows where her life is headed until she catches her boyfriend in bed with her boss and finds herself single and unemployed. Cassie is Ginnys 55-year-old neighbour who is a washed-up, disliked actress who introduces herself to Ginny as she needs a PR rep to help her rescue her career. The two main characters are completely polar opposites but strike up an unexpected friendship.

This book was a harder read than I expected as it was quite slow but the story is still enjoyable, and the characters are likable. There are quite a few laugh out loud moments which made the book more enjoyable overall.


Defo worth a read!
