I was just overly irritated with the main character the whole time. She just always acted like she was 10 years old and throwing a hissy fit instead of an adult.
Found this book a quick and easy read, although was always hungry reading the book - all that food and chocolate! Ashley is a very stubborn character but makes me laugh. The ending is also really nice.

The cover, is cute. It still needs a bit of editing, I know is an ARC, so just polish it.
The story, if you don’t like people complaining about a book, STOP , because I am going to complain, usually I love every book, it pains me to do this. I liked what the author was trying to do, two people have to live together in order to inherit, and I guess the deceased wanted them together, to fall in love, I get it, it’s cute, the problem was, I was annoyed 90% of the time with the characters. First, Ashley throws a temper tantrum when she doesn’t get the company, she destroys her father’s gift and runs out, we don’t know the reasoning behind her father’s decision, and we just know she didn’t like it, at all. Fast forward 3 years, her father is dead, and in order to get the apartment she has to live with Jamie, the guy who stole her company. Most of the time I felt that I was watching a pair of 12 year olds pretending to be adults. Throwing temper tantrums and not just from her, one minute he is the devil, the next he is the most amazing man in the world. I just couldn’t keep up and it annoyed me to no end. How did Jamie fell in love? They spent apart 3 years and before that she tells us that while she was in college she didn’t see him much and trust me, being roommate with her, I don’t think he could have fallen in love with her, she was extremely annoying. Oh, and her friend Elly, what a nosy little woman, I get that she wanted her friend to face her fears and more, but the way she did it, at some point I just had to yell at the book, “please shut up, just stop bothering her!”, she made me think of a 9 year old. No cliffhanger, thankfully.
The romance, pfff..i didn’t believe it.
Ashley, 12 year old with temper tantrum syndrome and annoying.
Jamie, 12 year old, that’s it.
Overall, did I like the book? I wanted so much to like it, the idea was great, but it just wasn’t done well. Would I recommend the book? I don’t know, maybe, I guess you could try it and see for yourself.
I couldn't put the novel down! The story was unique and engaging! The characters were funny and relatable. At times Ashley, the main character, was so stubborn that the story line seemed to repeat the same pattern but over all the book was entertaining!
After 9% of this story, I couldn't stand anymore whining by Ashley Jewell Morgan who thinks she is the centre of the universe. Yup, I expect her to take a turn for the better, but I shall not get to it...
