Despite the fact that I was carrying a large round tray of dirty dishes, I couldn’t move. The entire room soon quieted down, and all eyes were on the stunning blond male specimen with the spotlight shining down on him.
The song that Justin had chosen to start with was a cover of Ain’t No Sunshine by Bill Withers. He just started to sing out the first few words, followed by the strum of his guitar.
Sometime close to eight-thirty, I was in the middle of serving a large party of ten when I first heard it: the chilling sound of a soulful voice that was not familiar in the least. It was past eight, and he hadn’t made an appearance yet. I kept glancing over to the small stage to see if he was there. It was nice out, so I knew they would have Justin performing outside. Normally, I would only be working one section, but tonight I was going back and forth between the two. Without Jade working tonight, we were short-staffed, and I was having a hard time keeping up with the orders. I left him alone again, making my way back down the hall and into the restaurant to tend to the customers I’d been ignoring. Sometimes moments of silence spoke the loudest. It was ironic, but the only times I could ever feel the remnants of our old connection were in fleeting moments of silent eye contact. His eyes darted to the side, and he noticed me standing there. You may read it and not be bothered by the same things that I was, so I would suggest giving it a try! However, I had high hopes for this story and I really wanted to love it, but I just couldn’t. I had problems the characters at times, but that doesn’t mean I hated it. Overall, I thought the book was just okay. The last quarter of the book is what really saved the story for me.
Just when I thought they were getting there, Amelia’s insecurity would creep in. To me, it feels like it takes forever for Amelia and Justin to be on the same page as one another. There is a lot of arguing, ignoring, and mixed signals for about the first three-quarters of the book. I wasn’t sure how they were going to work out their problems, especially with Justin’s serious girlfriend thrown into the mix. A Thin Line Between Love and Hateįor the most part, I enjoyed Justin and Amelia’s story. Over the course of a summer, they try to work through their problems, but it isn’t an easy road to travel. There is a lot of animosity and tension between them, but Amelia is determined to become best friends with Justin again even if it kills her. When we meet Amelia and Justin, Amelia’s grandmother has left each of them half of a beach house and they haven’t seen each other in almost 10 years. When you read a Penelope Ward romance, you are guaranteed an angst-filled roller coaster of emotions, and RoomHate definitely delivers in that department.
