LOVE THY NEIGHBOR

hello + welcome !

thank you very much for choosing to read Love Thy Neighbor! it means the world to me that you saw this book and decided to read it! I hope you have a pleasant experience here and that the book meets your expectations  :')

if you enjoy then any votes and comments are massively and endlessly appreciated! I love responding to people's thoughts. also, any helpful feedback is always welcomed!

originally, I had another short story posted on my account that I was going to work on but I took it down in favor of pursuing Luca and Blake's story instead. this story is a lot more lighthearted and cute than the other one and that is definitely something I need more right now, I hope you agree!

once more, thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for choosing to read Love Thy Neighbor! I hope you enjoy! <3

summary

Blake Collins moves in next door and Luca Mendoza's world turns upside down.

☆☆☆

When popular football player Blake Collins moves in next door, Luca Mendoza assumes it won't change a thing in their nonexistent relationship (regardless of the crush that he may or may not have).

But then Blake's infuriating thirteen year old brother comes into the picture. He plays his music too loud, constantly kicks his soccer ball over the fence and is generally a pain in Luca's ass.

When Luca decides he has no other choice but to confront this terror of a middle schooler, he fails to realize that Blake has heard him until it's too late.

To his great surprise and relief, Blake finds it hilarious and Luca begins to wonder if maybe he has a better shot at this crush than he's been giving himself credit for.
