What happens when a book has no plot beyond romance but it doesn't start until 40% of the way in?
Actual stars: 2.50

What I liked: I liked the character of Callum from the moment we met him.
What I didn't like: My two main issues were that there isn't much plot for the first 40% of the book because you KNOW you are just waiting for her to breakup with her boyfriend. My second issue is that the title makes ZERO sense because it is a gorgeous apartment (and if it is referring to Callum it still doesn't make sense because not being outgoing isn't a problem for people to fix.
Also the instant love between her BFF and his BFF gave me so much secondhand embarrassment I wasn't sure I could finish it.
Who I'm recommending this to: Honestly, I'm not recommending this one to people. It was fine, but there are so many better romances out there.
