Why read it?

1 author picked Room 212 as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

As a Brit, I love books set in the US; I love exploring our cultural differences. This one is an angsty emotional journey with a very strong female character, which isn’t always successfully pulled off in romance novels. Love isn’t always rainbows and sunshine, and I think this is one of those stories reminding us that it needs to be worked at.

From Fearne's list on romance books set in the 1990s.
