Review Tour: Just One Year by Penelope Ward!


JUST ONE YEAR IS LIVE!


From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward, comes a new standalone novel.


SYNOPSIS
The beginning of my sophomore year in college was off to a rough start.
On the first day of orientation, I had an altercation with an infuriating British dude in a campus bathroom.
(The ladies’ room was out of order. So, I used the men’s room. Don’t judge.)
I got home later that night and realized that the foreign student we were expecting to rent a room in my parents’ house was allergic to our cat.
So, the spare room went to someone else: Caleb—the British guy from the men’s room.
And so it began…my love-hate story with Caleb Yates. Or was it hate-love in that order?

The guy knew how to push every one of my buttons.
Sometimes I’d email him to express my aggravation and disdain.
He’d actually rewrite my own words and send them back to me.
That was the type of infuriating person Caleb was.
So frustrating.
And…
Sometimes incredibly funny and endearingly sweet.
And hot.

He eventually grew on me, and Caleb soon became one of my best friends that year.
Too bad he was headed back to England soon, so nothing could happen between us—for so many reasons.
I definitely couldn't fall in love with him, especially since all we had was just one year.

~Marlene's Review~
Just One Year is one of those stories that has many moving puzzle pieces and it’s so great to watch the author glue them all together. This one has anticipation, angst, sexual tension, heartache, mystery, humor, and so much more. I enjoyed the character build and the back stories they brought along with them. And the writing is exceptional, as always.

I very much loved the story as well as the sweet happily ever after. However, I did struggle at the start to feel the connection between Caleb and Teagan. The fact that we see them exploring other relationships after having caught even just a touch of feelings didn’t help that cause. That is just always an aspect that bothers me when I am craving the romance between the main characters.

This romance is a very slow build and apparently, I favor a fast paced and intense kinda story these days. Lol... Having said that, I still highly recommend this read as well as all of this author’s work!
