RoomHate by Penelope Ward Book Summary

From New York Times Bestselling 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.

Author's note – RoomHate is a full-length standalone novel.

Didn’t love it at first but now I do. Have to admit I do not love this at first but I am so freaking glad I stuck through this! I didn’t realise this was in two parts. Part two is much better and I was not expecting the plot twist. PW always pulls through. If you’re not liking the characters and want to dnf this like I wanted to just give this book a chance it gets much better.

Loved it. such a great read!

Expected more, let down. I know most people don’t read these types of books for the plot (neither do I) but this was basically 95% fluff plot, 5% steaminess. It does not pass the Bechdel test, another thing I don’t expect from this drama but the author relies on the main character pulling random women out of thin air to be her “friend” so that she can discuss this man who she does not have sex with basically at all in the book. THEN the one and only sex scene is disappointing and centered around male enjoyment and the male gaze. Does the author not know mainly women read these books? I liked the characters but this book felt like it was written by a virgin. I expected more from the amount of build up, this was definitely a let down. Heartwarming, but a let down.

Roommate. Absolutely loved this book. Good read for single mothers and women with lost first loves.

no.. Please do NOT waste your time on this offbrand wattpad look alike book. So incredibly cringy and only 2-dimensional characters. Seriously terrible

Loved it!. I will be reading more books from this author! Although the characters got their happily ever after, it was a bit of a rough ride. Great descriptions, great storyline!

Great book!. I enjoyed reading. I could not get enough of it. Loved the story line.

Room hate. It was so easy to fall in love with the characters.

Great book. Love this book. A must read!

Lost interest. This book lacked depth. The characters were one dimensional, I had a hard time connecting with them. The story was repetitive, and it dragged on and on. I've read other books by this author, like stepbrother dearest but this book is weak in comparison.

😍. Such a great story

RoomHate. This is one of my favorite Penelope Ward books I first read several years and just reread . Amelia and Justin first meet as kids and form a bond that is indescribable and when you meet them you feel it will last forever. Then the unthinkable happens and Amelia runs away and they lose contact. Years later Amelia’s NaNa dies and leaves Justin and Amelia her beach home. This is the story of how two old friends deal with life. The book is funny, romantic, full of chemistry and Justin is the perfect boyfriend one you will never forget as you learn the way life should Bea. A five plus stars...

A decent read. Not as good as the others. Didn't have great flow or as much depth of emotions as her other books. Worth reading.

Loved it!!. Great second chance story!! Loved this book and the characters!!

A Must-Read!. This book was by far one of the best romance books I've read in a long time. The development of the characters and dictation used by the author really helped put the characters and their emotions into perspective. Amazing novel. Well done!

Really good!. I loved the characters I loved the conflict some parts brought me to tears even great story definitely worth the read!

Loved it!. There are very few books that can illicit a physical response. This book gave me butterflies!

Fell in Love. I will totally recommend this book to everyone it's just so amazing!!!!

Not bad but not exceedingly great.. Would still recommend. The ending seemed to fizzle as I was waiting for a major event, but endings like this are nice too.

Nice!!. Loved their story. Never any boring moments reading this book.

Amazing!!!. 5 stars all the way!! 👌🏼

Ehh. Sort of good when he gets the shared house but was slow in the beginning and then just turned bad. Would never recommend.

Love!!. Could not put the book down!!!!! Amazing!!

5 stars!. Loved loved loved this book. Read It!!!!

Awesome book. You can feel the emotion of the characters. I laughed and I cried at some parts. But I loved how the relationship flowed so well.

Goooood. So deliciously good

Great story. The book definitely held my attention. I couldn’t put it down. Characters were well developed & believable.

Roomhate - Loved this book!. Fabulous storytelling-finely layered and was so emotionally believable! Amelia & Justin are childhood friends who become estranged but brought back together by Amelia's Nana's passing and willing the summer house to them 50/50. I so loved these characters - and Jade, Roger and especially Bumble-Bea made this a rich story. HEA

Loved it. I started reading at 7pm and could not put it down. I only stopped for s couple of hours to sleep. It is now7 am and I just finished it and loved it. It is raw, sexy and had me so invested in what was going to happen. A great read.

Love it. It was so sweet and the character change was amazing it had the perfect amount of love and hate.

Great read. Oh my where do I start with this review? Such a great book.Justin and Amelia are childhood sweethearts they do everything together and when they are 16 Amelia runs away because of a something She found out that Justin was keeping from her,he is heart broken. Now 10 years later Amelia's grandmother has died leaving both of them a house.Oh the angst how do you co exist with someone who hates you?well you just need to read this book and find out I highly recommend this book.

Don’t waste your time. The praise and high reviews definitely deceived me into thinking this book was going to be really good. The idea was fun, the execution was horrible. From 2D characters that frustrate you and honestly fall flat to so many others. The “spicy” scene is lukewarm at best and the tension between the two characters is only there for so long before it dampened by his worst fear. I wish I could get back the money and time I wasted on this that I was really hoping was really good.

Love love love. Read it.

Loved it!. One of my favorite books. :) I'm so glad I read this book, but so sad it had to end. I loved the characters. I would definitely recommend reading this book.

Roomhate. I love Penelope’s books. I am always sad to say goodbye to the characters in her books, it’s like leaving friends.

Roomhate. Wow, this book had me hooked from the beginning. I laughed and I cried. Such N inspirational love story.

Juvenile. She can’t think for herself, let’s him insult her and still wants him...she’s a real winner. He’s a tool but hey, he’s apparently hot so he gets a pass...ASS!

Amazing!. I absolutely loved this book! I couldn't put it down and read it every chance that I could. It was more than your average love story and it incorporated so many great elements. I highly recommend reading this book. You won't regret it!

Sweet and hot. This was a sweet story with some good angst and some hot sex. Another win for Penelope.

A love story , fate and never giving up on love.. I couldn't put this book down. I finished in a day. I needed to know what happened next. I cried , laughed and cheered for the characters. Thank you for writing such a novel.

Great read. Had a great storyline and suspenseful in ways, but also had a very select type of romanticism I guess you could say just to put it lightly. Finished it in less than a day just couldn't put it down !

Amazing. Absolutely loved the book I read it in one day could not put it down!!

Roomhate. Main characters great banter; like the short inserts going back in time explain interaction, and the same the flash backs were short—did not drag nor muddle the plot. Good read

Roomhate. Loved the book. It kept you in suspense not knowing how they would get back together. Cried a few times . So good

Good read. Great job describing characters that just can't get out of their own way. Liked it.

Loved it. I loved it 100%

Push through it becomes worth it. I wanted to stop reading because Amelia was starting to get on my nerves. I decided to push through and glad I did because the ending showed her growth and confidence in herself.

Wonderful book. I absolutely LOVED this story!!! I hated to see it end! 😫

Slow. This book, though short just went on and on and on. I finally just read the last page to be done with it.

My favorite Penelope Ward book!. RoomHate is my favorite Penelope Ward book so far. At first I thought it was very similar to Stepbrother Dearest, but that changed with a plot twist I wasn't expecting. At first I didn't know if I liked that plot twist because of how it would change the story, but I got over that quickly. I ended up loving the twist and how it changed both Amelia and Justin's lives. Part One was of the book was good, but part two was even better. I loved Amelia and Justin's relationship. They have been through so much together throughout the years and I loved where the end up. This book has a lot of emotional moments that make you feel for the characters and what their going through. It is also quite funny as well. The end of the book is so cute, especially the epilogue, which I enjoyed it being in Justin's perspective. However, like always, I wish it was longer. Overall it was a great read!

🎀💕🎀. Wow I absolutely loved this story. Amazing as always xx

Get lost in a story. Loved every bit of this book, read a couple of times and it never fails to get all my emotions. 1000% recommend to give this one a read

A book you can get lost in!. Absolutely brilliant! Gives “feel good read” another meaning. The authors spectacular ability to keep you guessing about the plot is incredible.

Wow. I couldn't put this book down once I had started it, I truly loved the story between Justin and Amelia . It made me laugh and crying . And Justin I think is now my new book boy friend . Lol .Definitely recommend roomhate !!!

A MUST read. I’ve only just discovered this author but wow, she knows how to make you feel the characters emotion. The story is so complicated but they’re so right for each other. Definitely recommend this book and author!

Wonderfully Divine!. Once again, another absolutely brilliant book from Penelope Ward.

Takes money but doesn't give book. I tried to buy this book 4 times not realising that the whole time iBooks was taking my money but not allowing the book to download. Has anyone else had this problem?

Couldn't put it down!!!. Read it in one sitting, I just couldn't put it down. You won't regret buying this book!!!

Great read. Loved this story, sexy, funny and romantic Quinny

Refreshingly real...great read. A refreshingly different storyline, one that has depth of character as well as storyline. Refreshingly mature as well, no teenage angst (except when retracing their thoughts when they were young), adult responses to adult situations. Plenty of hot scenes to go with it. Seriously a good read, look forward to reading some of this authors other titles

Amazing. Loved this book from start to go finish. I was hooked. Such a beautiful story.

A great read. Well written, beautiful characters and a good long read- not short like all the other books out at the moment. Read in a day.

RoomHate. Omg you have done it again, love it love it. You are a fantastic writer amazing. No words can describe it. Can't wait for the next one 😊😊😊

Throughly enjoyed this book. Amelia & Justin story I loved it. I couldn't put it down!! Thanks 👍👏📖

So easy to read. This book was so easy to get into and enjoy. Couldn't put it down. Really loved the story and how it was written.

Loved it. Loved this book! The characters were so easy to love and true. I couldn't put the book down once i started.

Roomhate loved it. 5 Star Review I was not sure what to expect from this book the only other Penelope Ward book I have read was a comedy but I love second chance romance stories and I'm so glad I went with this one. Imagine being left a half share in a house the only problem is the person who has the other half is someone you walked away from years ago and he hates you..... Justin and Amelia were best friends growing up, in fact her grandmother raised them both which is why they ended up with a half share in the beach house when Amelia's grandmother passed away. But their friendship was 14 years ago can they put the past behind them and at least be pleasant to each other. Love and Hate go hand in hand and when these two end up in the same house there is anger and rage but there is also chemistry. I fell for Justin in a big way as I'm sure many other readers have, he is sexy as hell but he is also loyal and cheating is something he will never ever do...... Roomhate is an emotional read that is a real second chance love story . I read it in one sitting and I can't wait to see what comes next from Penelope Ward.

From hate to mate. Love these stories with history and characters finding each other again. Great story will read more from this author.

Wow. So this started off super slow for me, in fact I almost stopped reading after the first few chapters. All I can say is, thank goodness I kept reading because I absolutely fell in love with how this story morphed into something so much more than just a typical romance. I found myself laughing, smiling and even at some point with tears in my eyes. The ending was absolutely beautiful and I didn’t want it to end. If you think about putting this down.. don’t. I was quick to judge but it turned out to be one of the most beautiful books I have ever read. Definitely top 5!

Beautiful second chance story. I loved this story! So many twists and turns, and the complicated aspects made me feel like I’m listening to a real life story from a friend. Some books are straightforward but this one has so much more to offer than a simple love story. Will definitely reread.

Roomhate by Penelope Ward. I enjoyed this book sooo dam much - it had the laughter , the tears and everything in between . You will fall in love following Justin - so hot , Amelia and a surprise twist half way in ! Put it on your list to read and click now !

Beautiful. What a beautiful and emotional love story I loved it . Defending a good book to snuggle down on a winters day and read .

My favorite book from this author to date. Sweet mother of all that is holy, Penelope Ward just tried to kill me. Her weapons of mass destruction were overwhelming amounts of sexual frustration and emotional turmoil. Every muscle and cell in my body was coiled up tight and ready to explode on moment's notice. If you are looking for a book that is going anywhere but the road well traveled, look no further! Let's use a metaphor. This book is a vehicle and the author is the driver. You're in the passenger seat, unsure of the destination and little nervous about she's taking you. Suddenly there is fork in the road. While your eyes are darting back and forth trying to anticipate where she's going to take you, without notice she's taking a sharp right, but she's not on the road anymore. Nope. We are off-roading it now! Up and down steep hills, frantically bouncing around on the uneven terrain, dodging obstacles, while you're holding onto the "holy crap" handle for dear life. I imagine she might be laughing loudly and a little maniacally as you hold on tight. Once I started this book, I didn't want to put it down. I started at 10:30pm, stayed up until 2:30 am devouring it, and then woke up bright and early to finish it off. 5 Stars just isn't enough!

Wow. This was really good. I like how the story comes out and it’s a good story

RoomHate. Although I liked both Justin & Amelia's characters, I felt the book dragged on. Amelia was so hot and cold towards Justin throughout the book. And Justin was very indecisive about his feelings. Good story but expected more.

Amazing read. 5 ⭐️ + From start to finish. The characters were amazing. Couldn’t put the book down

Outstanding!. An absolute outstanding read!

Great read !. Loved it !

Another 5 Star read❤️. RoomHate. Meet Justin, Penelope’s newest oh so hawt character. And meet Amelia another of her heroines you can’t help but love. They’ve been friends growing up until a secrete broke them apart and they went their separate ways only to be brought back together by their Nanny. Needless to say their reunion not a happy one, involving a lot of hurt feelings and resentment. But beyond all the hurtful things being said the true feelings can’t hide. Both living their own lives, seeing each other brings a lot of turmoil to each their lives. Unexpected events bring them closer together only to be pulled apart again by an opportunity for Justin too good to turn down. Will they be able to overcome yet another obstacle? Thank you Penelope for yet another wonderful story about two people whose love for each other leads them to where they are meant to be.

Just keep reading. I hated this book at first, it started too fast and wasn’t believable. I was just about to give up on it, and that’s when it started to get good. I stayed up well past my bedtime to read it in one sitting and cried most the night. I would recommend!
