With Neighbors Like This by Tracy Goodwin

3.0

A single mom moves into a new neighborhood with her children and almost instantly gets into a battle with the HOA over a lawn gnome. But when she meets the HOA president, he is very attractive, and as gnome-gate gets more intense, Amelia and Kyle become good friends, and maybe even more.

This book was so cute. I really appreciated seeing Amelia as a mother throughout this story. I loved how she was really there for her kids and was so wonderful and supportive as a parent. Even better, we saw her go through a healing journey of her own and still have time for herself. I’m not a parent, but I felt this was a really good depiction of motherhood. In addition to that, this book had some really funny moments. I loved the HOA battle and gnome-gate was so entertaining!

I switched between ebook and audio and really enjoyed Eva Wilhelm’s narration.

Thanks to Sourcebooks Casablanca, Dreamscape Media, and NetGalley for the advance copies.
