I tried to understand him, his thought logic and why he did what he did, but I just couldn’t. In the start, it was more like he was what comes out of assholes… (too much? too much.)īut in all honesty, I couldn’t get underneath any of the characters, Justin being the main focus of my attention. (Because nothing kills my insides and throws it out to the birds more than a story revolving around the one that got away) Even more so when I figured that it would be a childhood sweethearts romance. When I first saw and read what the plot was about, I was genuinely excited. I got a lot of conversations between two characters, and then bam! chapter end. I found it to be mediocre – only because their was no use of devices such as imagery or a narrative to help build the surroundings. Ward’s prose and writing technique is very different to the ones I tend to lean on. Straight off the bat, I could tell that Ms. “I think it makes you look like a whore, yes” (Catch me live now on IDAF Central on Saturdays 9PM EST) Here we go, put your helmets on for another one of Alex’s unpopular opinion times. There was a solid attribute that did in fact give me that push to finish – that being the nostalgic undertone the book gave with Amelia and Justin’s love.īut that was it. I’m lying of course, from chapter 1 – I could already tell that this book wasn’t for me due to a plethora of reasons but I trudged on like the true book-soldier I am, because I’m a sucker for childhood lovers romance.

That 4-5 star rating had to be somewhere near. I sordidly read through the whole of Roomhate thinking that it was going to kick in soon. I must be on a roll ladies and gentlemen. Due to strong language and sexual content, this book is not intended for readers under the age of 18.“Sometimes the thing we fear more than anything, is really what our soul craves the most.” Author's note - RoomHate is a full-length standalone novel.

The problem is.now that I can't have Justin, I've never wanted him more. I'd soon realize there's a thin line between love and hate. I hadn't seen him in years, and now we're living together because neither one of us is willing to give up the house. The same teenager who's now a man with a hard body and a hardass personality to match. The same boy who turned into the teenager whose heart I broke years ago.

When my grandmother died and left me half of the house on Aquidneck Island, there was a catch: the other half would go to the boy she helped raise. Sharing a summer house with a hot-as-hell roommate should be a dream come true, right? Not when it's Justin.the only person I'd ever loved.who now hates me. From New York Times Bestselling Author, Penelope Ward, comes a new standalone novel.
