In many ways it’s an obvious love story and just like Natalie herself, it doesn't take much to get it going. If you like simple stories that do your thinking for you, this one might be a good choice. Her photography business, however, does make the promised appearance, and it’s a fun backdrop for a story if a little dated – I can’t remember when I last got photos printed in person, but if I were to do so, I’m sure I too would be a little curious about whether the person packaging them up had had a sneaky peek first. The fact that Natalie was once a cheerleader got me to pick up this book, though it’s a fact that is rarely referenced within the pages, however much the blurb bigs it up. Still, you can’t live next door to someone and never run into them, just as you can’t avoid your neighbours in a small town, and since Truly, Idaho fits the bill on both, they’re going to see each other. Sure, her daughter might have taken a shine to the handsome stranger who likes to keep himself to himself but to Natalie he’s arrogant and obnoxious. Natalie is the girl next door when Blake moves to town but it’s neither love nor even friendship at first sight. Summary: The girl next door is playing hard to get but can Blake convince her to give him a shot, and should he?
