From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward, comes a new standalone novel.
JUST ONE YEAR
(A standalone)
Release date: 2/24/2020
About The Book:
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.
My Review:
Just One Year by Penelope WardMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Just One Year by Penelope Ward is a contemporary standalone romance told in dual POV between Caleb and Teagan. A little more light-hearted than usual for this author, there was definitely some angst and some deep-seated pain being dealt with, but overall this book didn't go as dark as some of Penelope's past books have. Regardless of the seriousness of the topics in past books, every single one I have read to date has been powerful and evoking and this book, Teagan & Caleb's story, is no different. I enjoyed every single page!
Teagan is a girl who keeps herself separate from people. Closed off but not aloof, just more solitary than not. An unfortunate and embarrassing encounter in the mens room at the college turns worse when the guy she was embarrassed by/in front of turns out to be their new exchange student.
Caleb is a wonderful character. In tune with his emotions, kind, and patient and the bond that forms between him and Tegan is heartwarming. I haven't read a book yet by this author that I have not adored. Enjoy!
