RoomHate

By: Penelope Ward

Narrated by: Andi Arndt, Jacob Morgan

The number one Wall Street Journal best seller featuring all new narration with bonus performance of the epilogue from Justin's POV. From New York Times best-selling author, Penelope Ward, comes a new standalone novel.

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.

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. The same boy who turned into the teenager whose heart I broke years ago.

The same teenager who’s now a man with a hard body and a hardass personality to match.

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 worst part? He didn’t come alone.

I’d soon realize there’s a thin line between love and hate. I could see through that smug smile. Beneath it all…the boy is still there. So is our connection. The problem is…now that I can’t have Justin, I’ve never wanted him more.

Alcohol and pregnancy a no no

Enjoyed the book. This is a favourite author - but alcohol and pregnancy is a no no. Made me very uncomfortable as the damage to the fetus would only be apparent in years to come.

The tension was explosive

This is a wonderful story with well developed characters. The story builds the tension between the two characters throughout almost every interaction. And although there’s not a lot of sex scenes (I actually prefer this) there was a lot of angsty lust. This kept me up wanting to read more.

Beautiful and touching

A beautiful, touching and heartfelt story from childhood through adolescence, and adulthood, with ups and downs.

Loved it

In the beginning, the things Justin did and said really made me upset. He was extremely disrespectful and the reason why doesn’t justify his poor treatment. I’m glad he finally got it together. But I will say this, thinking of someone while u pleasure yourself is cheating. Telling someone else you love them or that you want to…. Is cheating. So while Justin might like to think he wasn’t cheating, he crossed the lines with Ameila emotionally long before he ended his relationship with Jade. Other than that, I love this boy and love Justin, Ameilia and B👌 Epilogue was amazing

I wish this book had a sequal

The love story between Justin and Amelia is so heartbreaking and heartwarming. I'd love to hear more of their story. The tension is palpable and Penelope has a way of writing that reaches inside and twists all the emotions. While I loved this story I wish we'd have had more of Justin's POV or even a 2nd book from his POV. The narration was simply AMAZING!
