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.

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.___________________________** Readers are loving The Neighbours! **‘If you are looking for a poignant and entertaining romcom with that Bridget Jones vibe, The Neighbours should definitely be on your 2020 wish list.’ NetGalley reader review‘It had a great mix of realism and escapism; it was good to read a real representation of mental ill heath alongside real friendship with a good splash of romance.

At the age of five, when all of the other little girls wanted to be ballet dancers, she decided she wanted to be an author. Her ballet teacher was very relieved.The witty, relatable and life-affirming story about female friendship you need to read this year!• Funny, real, heart-breaking and achingly relatable women’s fiction that will appeal to the core Avon readership as well as tapping into a more millennial audience through Ginny – the Fleabag-esque heroine battling with the everyday struggles of holding down a relationship and a career.• Explores universal issues that women of all ages will be able to identify with in some way.• Neighbour angle is a nice point of difference in the market, and our bright, playful package that reflects the upstairs/downstairs dynamic.• Another point of difference is that, whilst this novel is women’s fiction, it focuses on female relationships just as much as romantic ones. The friendship that blossoms between Ginny and Cassie shows them both that when it comes to “life goals”, the most unlikely people can be the greatest teachers.• Nicola Gill is a brilliant writer. She is effortlessly funny, but also seamlessly combines the traditional elements of a romantic comedy with some more raw and difficult issues, such as coping with mental illness and the fear of infertility.Competition: So Lucky;The Flatshare;The Switch Up;Reasons to be Cheerful;How Do You Like Me Now?;The Cactus;Grown Ups. by;Dawn O’Porter;Beth O’Leary;Nina Stibbe;Holly Bourne;Sarah Haywood;Marian Keyes;Lucy Diamond;Sophie Kinsella;Mhairi McFarlane
