Just eh for me. Wasn't a big fan of the characters.

Fun and quirky

Roommates...sigh
What happens when you are completely in love with your hot roommate and they don't feel the same?
What if you are so weird that you feel no one will love you?
What happens when your hot roomie has his hot brother come visit?
Chaos. Complete chaos. Everything Kennedy knew about Graham is changes since Blake's appearance. Kind, gentle roomie has turned into the hulk. But why you ask...
It's a flirty, fun read with wildly random and sarcastic comments. You will get an HEA, just keep reading.

Have I ever smiled so much while reading a book? I think not.

I am giving this 4 stars because I 4 stars liked it. It was a fun read. If I gave this book a star rating based on actual reasons I would probably give it a 2, but I'm not because I'm the boss of this charade.

Kennedy is the most annoying, obnoxious main character I have ever encountered. She's THE WORST. I hated her so much that I almost liked her. I was definitely rooting for her to get a great guy because, let's be honest, a guy who actually likes her and is great like Graham is probably not going to come around again. Kennedy needed to dial it back a couple of notches.

The love triangle was stupid. It was obvious the whole time who she was going to choose- which is probably the only reason I could tolerate it at all.

Additionally, I cannot believe that this is how adults act. These characters are 23-27 and act like they're in high school. The will they/won't they drags out for nearly the entire book because 1) everyone is an idiot who can't read social cues and body language and take hints 2)won't just say what they mean. In real life, this book would have been over in like 3 chapters.

The author misused "moot point" 3 times. Granted, this is a common mistake, buttttttt... Am I an asshole because I want authors to know what words mean?

Kennedy is annoying as all get out, but she's fracking hilarious. She had me laughing over and over again.

There's a lot of issues with this book and a lot of it really peeved me, but it's super fun and I read it in one sitting. So 4 stars because I liked you, not because you deserve them!

One more thing, if you're reading this and waiting for Graham and Kennedy to finally just do it, don't hold your breath. It doesn't ever happen. I'm pretty mad at Zart for never giving me the sexy sex scene I was waiting for!

When reading the blurb, I expected the book to go one way but it went the complete other way.

It deals with some serious issues in a way a lot of people now a days deal with issues - through avoidance and sarcasm.

I did like the female lead, even if some of her POV was too try-hard to be quirky.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Prvá kniha ever, pri ktorej som sa zamilovala aj do hlavnej hrdinky, aj do hlavného hrdinu a aj do dalšieho hlavného hrdinu, ktorý patril do ľúbostného trojuholníika, ktorý vlastne ani neexistoval, lebo hrdinka VIE ČO CHCE!
Prekvapivé, čo? To sa nestáva často. POvedala by som, že veľmi raritne.
Kniha ma prinútila byť hore do 5:48 (vtedy som dokončila knihu).
Milovala som hrdinku nie len za to, že sa chvoá jak človek, ale aj za jej orálne schopnosti (myslím sarkaymus, ironiu, cynizmus a neskutočne brilantné comebacky, ty perv!).
A hlavný hrdina? Myslím toho, ktorého hrdinka chcela (ktorého by hcela asi každá zdravá žena). Nájdite mi takého, doneste mi ho a nehajte ma ľúbiť forever. Ked taký nie je, naklonovať! Ved sme v nejakom tom 21. storočí.
Nemá niekto ešte takéto niečo k odporučeniu, lebo toto ja teraz potrebujem.
Love!
