Review
Apartment 2B was a fast and crazy read. This story is a complete standalone novel and can easily be read in one sitting. I was constantly guessing about what was going on and wondering what twist would happen next. K. Webster wrote a complex and crazy story that I just could not put down.
Sidney is a broken girl who has been through so much more than anyone should ever have to. Because of this she keeps herself closed off and locked away in her apartment. I felt so deeply for Sidney and was happy when she finally decided to give the dark, closed off, and super mysterious neighbor a chance. Liam was super sexy and I love how he completely respected her boundaries and wouldn’t touch her. I could go on and on about the plot but I won’t for because there are some MAJOR spoilers that would be way to easy to divulge and this novel is not very long and I believe the reader would really enjoy finding out all the details on their own as they read this.
I read this whole story on the edge of my seat because you just know something is about to happen. I was taken for a complete ride and loved all of it and I will tell you to try not to guess what will happen next because you will probably be wrong. I am a big fan of K. Webster and have read and enjoyed all of her books so far and this was no different. I love that she took a risk and tried something new and I believe she did a fantastic job! I really hope she tries more novels along this line!
