Next Door to You





Next Door to You is a slow-burn sapphic romance about two childhood best friends who grow up side by side, become university roommates, and slowly discover that the love they've always shared may be something more.



Simi and Che Che have known each other for almost their entire lives. They've shared childhood memories, secrets, laughter, arguments, and the kind of friendship that feels like home.



But as they grow older, things begin to change.



What happens when the person you've always called your best friend becomes the person you can't stop thinking about? When friendship starts feeling like longing, and the safest thing you've ever known suddenly becomes the most terrifying thing to lose?



Set against the warmth and chaos of Nigerian family and university life, Next Door to You is a story about friendship, love, fear, timing, and the feelings we sometimes spend years refusing to name.



If you love childhood friends-to-lovers, sapphic romance, slow burn, roommates, emotional tension, yearning, and complicated love, this story is for you.



Some love stories don't begin with a confession.
