Roomies

It took me to page 180-something before I realised that there was no point in me finishing this book. It’s a quick read, no doubt about it but I was putting off reading it for days and I just got to the point where I was like, “why am I doing this to myself?”.

The whole plot of this book is ridiculous. Like literally none of it is believable. Getting married to a virtual stranger because you like his subway music? Getting married to a virtual stranger you have feelings for IN THE HOPE HE WILL LOVE YOU BACK? Conveniently having an uncle on Broadway for this extraordinary talent to shine so he doesn’t have to bush anymore? I could go on and on. And I wanted to move past that, I wanted to just enjoy a fun romance but you know what? I couldn’t. Where’s the romance in agreeing to a fake marriage, when you have feelings for that person and you don’t tell them? That’s not romantic, that’s a lawsuit. You’re going into something with false pretences and Holland is okay with that!

It was just a stupid plot. I just couldn’t get past the idiocy of Holland. I just wanted her to get a bit of self respect.
