Goodreads blurb:
Caroline Reynolds has a fantastic new apartment in San Francisco, a KitchenAid mixer, and no O (and we’re not talking Oprah here, folks). She has a flourishing design career, an office overlooking the bay, a killer zucchini bread recipe, and no O. She has Clive (the best cat ever), great friends, a great rack, and no O.
Adding insult to O-less, since her move, she has an oversexed neighbor with the loudest late-night wallbanging she’s ever heard. Each moan, spank, and–was that a meow?–punctuates the fact that not only is she losing sleep, she still has, yep, you guessed it, no O.
Enter Simon Parker. (No, really, Simon, please enter.) When the wallbanging threatens to literally bounce her out of bed, Caroline, clad in sexual frustration and a pink baby-doll nightie, confronts her heard-but-never-seen neighbor. Their late-night hallway encounter has, well, mixed results. Ahem. With walls this thin, the tension’s gonna be thick…
In her third novel, Alice Clayton returns to dish her trademark mix of silly and steamy. Banter, barbs, and strutting pussycats, plus the sexiest apple pie ever made, are dunked in a hot tub and set against the gorgeous San Francisco skyline in this hot and hilarious tale of exasperation at first sight.
The most funny book I ever read!
Caroline has a successful career, is beautiful, confident and has a fantastic new apartment. To complete all that her best friends just gave her a kitchenaid stand mixer, what is a very important thing to her. But she is missing something, she is missing the O.
In her first night in her new apartment she is stunned to wake up to weird noises.
“OH, GOD.”
Thump.
“Oh, God.”
Thump thump.
What the…
“Oh, God, that's so good!”
But do you think that this is just one night? Oh, no! The Wallbanger, how Caroline calls him, has many night of this thump thump until she can’t bear hearing them again and goes knock on his door.
Simon is charming, sexy, confident. I loved him! He is that type of character that makes you want to fall on your knees in front of him. He is a photographer and travels a lot, so a serious relationship is not in his plans at least until Caroline appears on his door in a pink baby doll nightie.
“That’s Wallbanger?” Sophia screeched.
“Wait a minute, that’s Pink Nightie Girl?” Neil laughed, and Mimi and Ryan snorted.
I loved that this book was about two people who were successful and not the poor girl with the billionaire guy. They both have their careers, they routines and they like to spend time with each other. They start with hating each other to being good friends. They have fun together, like to be around each other, like to talk with each other. It’s so nice to see their friendship, little things that they do that make the other so happy. How they mess with each other. Is the type of friendship that everyone would like to have. To feel so comfortable around another person that you can truly be yourself. But there is also the attraction that they feel for each other, and at times it gets to the point that they can’t simply ignore it. Simon doesn't want to do anything that can change their friendship, he doesn't want to make things weird, he really likes Caroline and if he lets himself do something about the attraction things may never be the same again.
The book is in Caroline's POV but there is also text messages between Caroline, Simon and their friends what was really nice. One thing that was really funny was at a point where you could read what Caroline, Simon and two of their friends were thinking. It was the most funny thing that I ever read.
The book was hilarious, really easy to read because you get to the point where you don’t want to get up because you don’t want to stop reading even if you have to go to the bathroom really bad. It was well written and the characters were simply fantastic.
If you want a break from cliches, want a book without drama everywhere and want to have some fun, you should definitely read this book.
