review 1: A sweet, meaningful, romantic read, perfect for reluctant readers. Embraces diversity.Meet Charlie: he's a outdoorsy guy, who loves to ride his dirt bike and is living in Boulder, CO with his moms and his sisters.Meet Molly: she's a talented clothing designer living in LA with her parents and is has several very close friends.When Charlie and Molly's parents decide to swap homes for the summer, Molly and Charlie end up in each other's bedrooms. Through series of emails and IMs, Charlie and Molly begin to communicate a lot. The more they "talk" the more comfortable they are with each other. Charlie encourages Molly to ride his bikes. He ends up sending Molly maps of some of his favorite places to explore in Boulder. They share some deep, personal stuff that they haven’t ... moreshared with other people. Their support and encouragement for one another makes a big difference in each other’s lives.Things I love about IN YOUR ROOM:1. The communication. Molly and Charlie talk to each other over deep issues. They’re honest and it comes through in their words to each other.2. Their relationship builds into something more meaningful, from strangers to people who care deeply for the other.3. Cheese the cat.4. Charlie and Molly each have their personal struggles, but when they “talk" to each other, they no longer seem insurmountable. They help each other work through them.5. The ex-girlfriend.6. Exchange of bedrooms and their exploration of them.7. Suggestions of things to do in each other’s cities.8. Miscommunications and fixing them.9.Diverse characters.10. Stars!!!!!11. Second Chances!!!!I spoke with my friend Heidi from YA Bibliophile. She’s a middle grade librarian. And even though IN YOUR ROOM is YA, she has this book in her library. We both agreed it’s perfect for girls who are reluctant readers. It’s fast-paced, has strong, interesting characters, a sweet romance appealing to people of all ages.So, even though this novel has been out for awhile, it’s definitely one to pick up and read. The story passes the test of time! Loved it.Thank you to Jordanna for sending me an ARC copy for review.
review 2: Why did I read this book? I have no clue. I don't even know why i picked it up, its not my genre either. I sat down. Read it. Skimmed it actually. Just like i excepted, (i even scoffed..) it was unrealistic and not relatable. You cant fall in someone if you've never met in real life or actually talked to each other. Molly and charlie have only conversed (its conversed because they havent talked) through email. At the beginning they dont even know what either of they LOOKED like. I- wha- how- bangs head repeated on desk* WHAT is up with books like these?! less
