BOOKWORM REVIEW: Accidental Neighbor by Sharon Woods




RATING: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
STEAM: 🔥🔥

Navigating through tough situations is hard enough to deal with it in real life. It is even harder to put those feelings, conundrums, and painful choices into words.

Sharon Woods has beautifully done so with her latest release Accidental Neighbor. 

Thomas is a widower, grappling with the very sudden fact that he would have to raise two very young daughters by himself while navigating through his grief.  

Jen works at a local daycare and is struggling to find herself. She doesn't quite feel at ease among her friends who are still in constant party mode, and while her parents are kind and loving, her dad especially can sometimes forget that Jen is an adult.

Thomas had recently moved next door to Jen, hoping that a new home would lessen the ongoing heartache for him and his kids. The two run into each other and realize that they had instantly connected while at a bar a couple of months ago. 

The rest of the book takes us through the struggle of finding love again after a traumatic loss.  I love that Woods was so sensitive about balancing Thomas' need to feel after numbing himself for so long with his fear of giving his heart to someone again.

I also appreciate that while the girls are so young, they too were trying to sort through their own version of grief.

While I liked the overall story and being on the journey with Thomas and Jen, I did struggle at times with loose ends and too much background, so I skimmed through a few pages. 

Accidental Neighbor is now available and is free with Kindle Unlimited.

**I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.**
