<\/span>
\nMeet Ginny, 34, and Cassie, 55. Neighbours, and (very) unlikely friends.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Some women have it all. Others are thirty-four, renting a tiny flat alone because they recently found their long-term boyfriend in bed with their boss. Unfortunately, the latter applies to Ginny Taylor. Single and jobless, Ginny is certain her life can\u2019t get any worse. But then she encounters her downstairs neighbour for the very first time…<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>
\n
Cassie Frost is a woman who had it all \u2013 she was a once-loved actress, but a recent stint on reality TV has rocketed her to online infamy. She\u2019s suddenly become a national hate figure \u2013 and she desperately needs a new publicist. And Ginny is a publicist who desperately needs a job… but can she be persuaded to work for the uber-difficult, excessively prickly woman that lives below her floorboards?<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Because sometimes \u2013 just sometimes \u2013 bad neighbours become good friends…<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>
\n
<\/span><\/span>
\nA bit like family, you can’t choose your neighbours. When you move somewhere new it’s because you like the area, or because you love the house. Unfortunately, you don’t get to interview prospective neighbours, which I think is a really big travesty, and this can be a recipe for disaster!\u00a0<\/span><\/span>
\n
<\/span><\/span>
\nLeft reeling after a traumatic break-up with ex-boyfriend Jack, which left our heroine Ginny without a boyfriend and a job, she is reaching for the Twirl Bites like a madwoman in an effort to find herself again. The neighbour in question is Cassie Frost, actress and Jungle contestant, and who’s recent antics mean she’s found herself at rock bottom.<\/span><\/span>
\n
<\/span><\/span>
\nOne is in her thirties and the other is in her fifties, you wouldn’t think that they would have anything in common but Cassie and Ginny become the most unlikely of friends. Struggling to cope with being unemployed and the two French lovebirds who have replaced her former flat-mate, Ginny sees something in Cassie that most people don’t – that she’s human and just like any other person on the planet. The two women learn to accept each other through depression, job hunting, trouble with overwhelmed sisters and are two of the best aunts you could ask for.<\/span><\/span>
\n
<\/span><\/span>
\nThere’s no sugarcoating the problems each of the women has in their lives but we get to see it, warts and all, especially in Cassie’s case. As an actress\/celebrity, she’s quite contemptuous of everyday life, especially where her sister is concerned, and her two out-of-control nephews. The best thing about The Neighbours is watching Ginny and Cassie both learning to accept themselves, learning to understand their sisters and families, and developing the most unlikely but most supportive friendship.<\/span><\/span>
\n
<\/span><\/span>
\nThe Neighbours is a perfect weekend read if you’re looking for something contemporary about women supporting each other, friendship, and romance. Any author who makes good use of Twirl Bites is a genius as far as I’m concerned, curled up with the bag Avon Books very kindly sent me with a copy of the book made for a perfect reading experience.<\/span><\/span>
