Sharp, snarky, and unabashedly steamy, To Hate Adam Connor plays the neighbor-romcom and ramps up flirtation around a recently divorced, Academy Award–winning actor who moves in next door with his child. The main pleasure is the push-pull: combustible banter, voyeuristic setup, and a bratty narrator voice that keeps scenes lively. The limitation is familiarity—trope beats recur and repeated snark can make emotional growth feel thin, so expect entertainment more than deep psychological realism.

Consider Better Than the Movies by Lynn Painter. Recommended by 1 sources.
“Bright, banter-driven enemies-to-lovers rom-com by Lynn Painter that trades on next-door antagonism and childhood prank history to generate heat and humor. Early chapters set a cheeky, fast-moving tone with squabbling chemistry and rom-com wish-fulfillment; the fun part is the snappy dialogue and comfort-of-predictability. Main limitation: emotional pivots and trope-heavy reversals can feel swift or repetitive, so readers wanting slow, nuanced character change may find it thin. Best consumed as an easy, mood-lifting escape rather than deep relationship study.”
