The concept of this book was good, but I started hating it after the 50% ish mark? MMC basically just strung along the FMC for an entire book, I just wanted her to dump him and not take him back, which she was doing again and again and again every time he disappointed her and came back with a half assed apology 😐

-- ty to the author, the publisher and Netgalley for an advanced copy.

The story of Lucy, a florist who moves in with her best friend and her 6 roommates to save money starts out great. The tension between Lucy and Henry, a roommate, builds well in the beginning. Through the hilarious conversations between all eight roommates, the supporting characters come to life and are well developed. I loved them.

The struggle I have with the book is Lucy’s relationship with Henry. Time and time again he disappoints her but she takes him back. Henry is very immature, not ready for the relationship that Lucy is. And while they definitely are attracted to each other, I have to believe that she wouldn’t end up with him. She is smart, successful and has great friends. She could do better than Henry.

I really wanted to like this story more. I think it had great potential.

really good romance about room mates who become more and that he is only in town for a weekend a month and the issues and communication that comes along with that . Loved the room mates and their group activities and that they all worked together and dreams happened.

Thanks to NetGalley I received an advanced electronic copy of the book to read and provide a review.

I really liked the premise of the book and LOVED the author’s writing style. Her writing flowed nicely and was enjoyable. However, I found Henry to be insufferable and it made the overall dynamic between the main characters hard to enjoy.

What was supposed to be tension felt like an immature guy who wasn’t ready to commit but still wanted to leave his options open. He strung her along for an entire year!

If there was an epilogue for this book, Henry is the kind of dude who would have resentment toward Lucy for making him feel like he had to choose London over Amsterdam.

I really wish Henry had more redeeming qualities or they further explored the relationship with Oliver. I know there was supposed to be a spark with Lucy and Henry but I didn’t feel it. I wish I did! However, the roommate/friend dynamics and adventures were a ton of fun to read.
