Queen B’s Decree: How to Love Your Neighbor felt a little cliched. Noah is the big city rich man trying to buy Grace’s inherited home (his neighbor!), so they start off on the wrong foot. I still can’t really figure out when they transitioned from enemies-to-lovers.
It started off light and fun with witty banter and mild arguments. Noah was a hard character to like, he was often rude and snobby. Grace was better initially, but then she devolves into this immature mess. I just never believed in the chemistry between them, as it felt like I was being told versus shown.
Grace’s neighbor/adopted “Grandpa” Morty was the star of the show. He and the other side characters were more memorable than Grace and Noah and I found myself looking forward to them more than the main plot.
Overall, How to Love Your Neighbor wasn’t bad, it just wasn’t great either.
