RoomHate by Penelope Ward5/29/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() His eyes darted to the side, and he noticed me standing there. You may read it and not be bothered by the same things that I was, so I would suggest giving it a try! However, I had high hopes for this story and I really wanted to love it, but I just couldn’t. I had problems the characters at times, but that doesn’t mean I hated it. Overall, I thought the book was just okay. The last quarter of the book is what really saved the story for me. Just when I thought they were getting there, Amelia’s insecurity would creep in. To me, it feels like it takes forever for Amelia and Justin to be on the same page as one another. There is a lot of arguing, ignoring, and mixed signals for about the first three-quarters of the book. ![]() I wasn’t sure how they were going to work out their problems, especially with Justin’s serious girlfriend thrown into the mix. A Thin Line Between Love and Hateįor the most part, I enjoyed Justin and Amelia’s story. ![]() Over the course of a summer, they try to work through their problems, but it isn’t an easy road to travel. There is a lot of animosity and tension between them, but Amelia is determined to become best friends with Justin again even if it kills her. When we meet Amelia and Justin, Amelia’s grandmother has left each of them half of a beach house and they haven’t seen each other in almost 10 years. When you read a Penelope Ward romance, you are guaranteed an angst-filled roller coaster of emotions, and RoomHate definitely delivers in that department. ![]()
