RoomHate by Penelope Ward
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
RoomHate- Ding, Ding, Ding! This book wins the award for most inaccurate title. Potential Spoiler Alert…Approx 10% of the way into the book the roomates no longer hate each other. Further in the novel they actually state that they never hated each other. So…hmmm. Yep, one could accurately conclude that the title is misleading.
Now that I’ve gotten my grievances regarding the book title off my chest let me sing this story’s praises.
First up, I’d also like to applaud Penelope Ward for creating a “rival” love interest (Jade) who is gorgeous, sexy and skinny and still NICE! Yep, no girl-on-girl cut downs or the clique skinny girl MUST be a bitch. How refreshing!
Secondly, sex scenes (while few and far between) were hot without pushing the envelope for shock value.
Thirdly, Another potential spoiler alert…Penelope did a great job of describing life with a newborn and no help. As a new mom myself I can attest to the lack of sleep and showers being something of distant memory, etc.
