πŸ“–Title: Nosy Neighbors
✍️Author: @freyasampsonauthor
πŸ“…Pub date: April 2, 2024
⏳Audiobook length: 10 hrs, 56 min

🧑I thought I’d love this one from the first second I heard about it just because of the synopsis, cover, vibes, early reviews, etc. I’m glad I was right because I LOVED THIS ONE! Also orange is my favorite color and we don’t get enough orange covers!

🧑Shelley House is an apartment complex that has been standing over 100 years and is facing demolition! No one is more upset by this than longest time resident Dorothy Darling. One of the newest residents, a 25 yo, pink haired woman named Kat has her own reasons for involving herself in the mission to save Shelley House.

🧑I went into this expecting your basic cozy mystery, but this was WAY MORE. I’d probably just classify it as general fiction so no one is missed because it really moved me (almost to tears) a couple times. These characters are deeper than you’d expect from a cute/cartoon cover!

It was full of

πŸ«‚Unlikely friendships
πŸ•΅πŸΌβ€β™€οΈAmateur slueths
πŸ•A cute dog
β­•Full circle moments
πŸ₯ΉHeartfelt conversations

πŸ“šThree books that gave me the similar vibes and feels:

πŸ“–The Reading List by Sara Nisha Adams
πŸ“–The Mostly True Story of Tanner and Louise by Colleen Oakley
πŸ“–A Man Called Ove by Frederik Backman

🧑I’m so sad this was my first book by Freya (even though I’ve had one on my shelves for years), but I will now prioritize her backlist and obsess over all her future releases πŸ˜‚

🎧The audiobook production was πŸ‘Œ and so easy to listen to! Same narrators for two different people’s perspectives but it didn’t bother me at all this time! Definitely would recommend the audio route for this one!

❓Do you have nosy neighbors or are you the nosy neighbor? πŸ˜‚
