Review: Just One Year

Just One Year by Penelope Ward
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

3.5 stars
I figured that this review was long overdue so here it is.

Like I said before, I didn't even read the blurb before buying this book. All I saw was - new release, Penelope Ward and a hot cover, and I was a goner.

What bugs me most is that I don't even know why I didn't I like this book so much. This is not the first book by Penelope I've read. I'm well aware of her epic writing style and seriously, I figuratively salivate for more from her. Roomhate, Stepbrother dearest, Neighbor dearest, Sins of Sevin, you name it, I've read it. And I loved them all too!

The story starts with a sophomore year student, Teagen meeting with a freshman, foreign exchange student Caleb. Their first meeting had me laughing my ass off!
Events unfold and before we know Caleb and Teagen are roommates.

Caleb is a Brit with a charming personality. I loved his POV's. He has some issues back home but he's trying to make the best of his situation. He's intrigued by Teagen, platonically at first but gradually their feelings take over.

Teagen is an introvert and a genius. She's closed off from the start but as the story progresses, we see Caleb helping her out off her shell.

Without giving away the plot, I'll just say that this was a nice, light read.

Will I re-read this? No
Will I read the next book from the author? Definitely Yes!

ARC Review- Charlie by Siobhan Davis

Blurb:- Demi Dropping out of college senior year was never part of my plan. But Dad needs me, and I’d move mountains for the only parent I’ve ever known—even working for the company that fired him. My boss, Charlie, is determined to make my life a living hell, availing of every opportunity to undermine my confidence, to humiliate and threaten me. Sleeping with him the night of his wedding might have something to do with his attitude. Or the fact I’m the spitting image of the woman he really wants. If our financial situation wasn’t so dire, I’d tell Charlie to stick his job up his delectable butt. But I’m trapped, and things are only getting worse. Because the more layers I uncover, the more I realize he is nothing l expected and everything I crave. Charlie If there was a manual for all the ways a person could mess up his life, it’d have my name written on it. I can’t undo the things I’ve done, no matter how badly I want to, and every day is a constant reminder of my epic failure. Espec...

Anyway, I found this book already sitting on my Kindle. I'd probably bought it in a sale binge or something earlier and promptly forgot about it, but I'm a little extra happy about not shelling out some immediate money. Getting on with my review, then!
