Room for Love

by Andrea Meyer and Andrea Meyer

Book Overview

Jacquie Stuart has just turned thirty-two and she wants to do a major rewrite on her life. Her salary at a snarky film magazine barely covers her mortgage, her bratty sister has staked permanent claim to her couch, her best friend is in an obscenely happy marriage, and the only guy who really gets her is gay.

Customer Reviews

Andrea is the best

A great book. My wife loved it being a NYC gal. Went to the book signing at Book Soup! Cheers!

FUN READ

Urban girls who have been through all the usual suspects-internet dating, blind dates set up by well-meaning friends, etc.-will giggle and recognise themselves as having been in many of the same situations in which Jacquie finds herself. New York women in particular will understand how an apartment can make or break your world and shape your love life. A very easy and fun read

A pleasure to read.

Being 29, single and looking, this was a book that I could relate to in so many ways. Having tried internet dating without much success, I can say that looking for a guy in the 'roommate wanted' ads does actually sound like a good idea lol. I dont have the guts to do it though. I think anyone would enjoy this book. It's highly entertaining and I hope to see more books from this author in the future.

Super Fun Read!

Andrea Meyer's Room for Love is a delicious read, a romantic book for us girls who've kissed on the first date and even made-out before the date has begun. The lead character, Jacquie is cringy in the beginning because she makes the mistakes I hope I'll never make again.... she obsesses over a jerk and thinks she loves him even though he tells her there's no future for them. Then she lies to meet a hopeful, and that's when we start rooting for her (and ourselves?) that she'll change, he'll change or maybe she'll even meet someone else. Meyer writes really well, alludes to everything and anything 80s, and ultimately creates a likeable character in Jacquie... in fact, when the book was done, I couldn't wait to read part two because it turned super warm fuzzy and appealed to the hopeless romantic in me that still thinks 16 candles is the best movie EVER!

Great book!

I loved it! I could totally relate to the main character's love life plight. It was fun, funny, smart, and hip. The perfect book to distract you from your own life...I read it in one sitting. HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!
