How the fuck did you not know that? Losing you taught me not to count on anyone but myself. “Hurt me?” He let out a slight angry laugh then shocked me with what he said next. “I am so sorry if my leaving like that hurt you in any way.” Sometimes moments of silence spoke the loudest. It was ironic, but the only times I could ever feel the remnants of our old connection were in fleeting moments of silent eye contact. Now, the thing is that our main characters still are feeling the sparks between them and it’s very difficult for both of them to stop their feelings. However, these two finally talk about what actually happened and they stop avoiding each other (kind of).

He appears at their house with his girlfriend, hating or pretending to hate Amelia and hurting both of them in the process. I started hating Justin because he was being so mean to Amelia. Cut the shit and see things for what they are. Stop pretending everything is just great. Stop pretending to like the goddamn coffee. Stop pretending there is something more to it. Almost ten years later, Amelia is a teacher and a woman who regrets her past decisions and Justin a singer/guitarrist who now shares a beach house with the woman who broke his heart. These two started as best friends when they were little, afterwards they fell in love (but never mentioned their feelings for each other) and finally they ended up apart when Amelia run away from everything. RoomHate is a stand-alone novel and it tells the story of Amelia Payne and Justin Banks. I am a fan of her books and this one, even though is not my favourite by hers, I definitely enjoyed! The problem is…now that I can’t have Justin, I’ve never wanted him more.I seized that Penelope Ward is with us this week in the Shh… Indie Star Chat (feel free to join the fun here: ) and decided to read her newest release which, I have to say, I was a little bit scared because of the mixed reviews. 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 best-selling author, Penelope Ward, comes a new standalone novel. The number one Wall Street Journal best seller featuring all new narration with bonus performance of the epilogue from Justin's POV.
