Book Review: My Summer Roommate by Bridie Hall

My Summer Roommate by Bridie Hall
Published October 8th 2014 by Evernight Teen
Chloe needs a place to crash for the summer before college. When Chris offers, she moves in with him. It’s just for two months, no biggie. But soon she realizes she may have made a mistake. He's too perfect—a former snowboarder, laid-back and kind to boot. And he’s smitten with her. But she’s got trust issues and a relationship feels daunting. When he keeps trying to win her over, the temptation becomes overwhelming.

Just as she gives in and decides it’s not worth fighting their emotions anymore, Chris reveals he’s made a stupid mistake which might ruin Chloe’s trust in him and tear them apart.
Chloe is a very lonely girl, her mother is busy with her new boyfriend and although she wasn't pictured as a bad mother, I wouldn't dream to have a mother as her. She needs a place to live for a few weeks and Chris offers. I liked Chris because he wasn't the typical boy, and he was the support Chloe needed. Their romance wasn't perfect and something was missing, but I liked it because it wasn't instalove.

I'm not sure if My Summer Roommate is young adult or new adult, the characters seemed too mature for their age, but it was a fun and light reading.

Welcome to the Banned Books Week Hop giveaway! Hosted by I Am A Reader, Not A Writer and I Read Banned Books . I don't believe in banning books (or anything at all). I believe that we are capable of thinking for ourselves and we are able (and have the right) to choose what we want to read/see/think/believe. The Banned Books Week is basically a week where readers decide to defend their right to read whatever they want. It's the perfect week to decide four yourself it you want to read read that book some people is tying to challenge or ban... Intellectual freedom—the freedom to access information and express ideas, even if the information and ideas might be considered unorthodox or unpopular—provides the foundation for Banned Books Week. BBW stresses the importance of ensuring the availability of unorthodox or unpopular viewpoints for all who wish to read and access them.  More information about the Banned Books Week here. I'm sure there is a lot to say abo...
