But when he shows her a copy of \u003ci\u003eGirl Next Door\u003c\/i\u003e, the steamy, bestselling rom-com taking the literary world by storm, written under a pen name, points to one of the women on the front cover, and says, “that's you,” its MC who begins to panic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJoe is convinced that the author is Nora Pike, MC's prickly, childhood next-door neighbor, and their former high school classmate – and MC knows he’s right, since the book describes actual events that happened their senior year, down to the tiniest details. But in the book, the characters based on MC and Nora are desperately in love, rather than the awkward acquaintances MC remembers being in real life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJoe begs MC to go home undercover and get the scoop on Nora. That’s the last thing MC wants to do, especially for an assignment that seems morally dubious at best, but she reluctantly agrees, knowing Joe is desperate to break a big story. Crashing in her childhood home with her older brother Conrad (now married to MC's secret high school crush, Gabby), MC begins untangling truth from fiction, trying to get close to Nora, who is just as hot and prickly as ever – and now suspicious of MC to boot. But the more involved she gets with Nora, the more it becomes clear they’re both hiding secrets . . . and MC realizes she might be in over her head.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePerfect for readers of \u003ci\u003eDelilah Green Doesn't Care \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eBook Lovers\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eGirl Next Door\u003c\/i\u003e is a delicious debut brimming with romance, humor, and heart.\u003c\/p\u003e | \u003cp\u003e“\u003cem\u003eGirl Next Door\u003c\/em\u003e is everything I love in a romance novel.
