And despite her better judgment, she just can’t get his arrogant smirk out of her mind.
Twenty-five year old Charlie counts on only one person—himself. When an abusive home life forces Charlie on the streets at a young age, he lives the next eight years distrusting everyone around him.

This book was absolutely all over the place
First off.....everyone is so strange. Kid you not. Usually in a book there may be one or two characters that are suspect in their behavior, but everyone in this book had me wondering, WHAT THE HELL. so much going it's ridiculous. Then when H turns out to be a secret billionaire living in a homeless shelter, yes that's correct, I started the whole....let's pile more crap on to the pile of STRANGE that this book has happening. The exes, the attacks, the storage behavior, the crazy plot. Good Lord, it's a certifiable crap fest. Supposedly the roommate is the sex crazed female, but ha. Female lead seems to just jump right in too. The book is just full of odd.

I read the spoiler review but still took a chance. In my opinion the ending was good, so maybe we were reading two different books. I've read a lot of adult genre so I was happy to read a book that had more action with colorful characters and no whiny female leads, which I personally hate.

Quirky, short, love story with interesting characters & room for further story. The end was rushed - I felt there was more to tell. Maybe there is, but if not, Trash was a good read, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Good but....
I don't normally read books with no review and very little summery but I decided to give this one a chance. it was a good book but there was a couple of things I had a problem with
****SPOILERS***
ok problem number one still don't understand why he was pretending to be homeless he never explained and for some strange reason the H didn't even ask or care. I know if it were me I would want to know why he would keep it a secret..
problem number two the story dragged on at times some things were a little irrelevant to the story.
problem number three the ending was rushed big time!!
With that said you should give it a chance it's still a good book!
would I recommend: yes
would I buy? probably not but definitely rent it with unlimited
would I read again: probably not.

December 15, 2015Read "Devious Minds" by this author and absolutely loved it. Saw the reviews for "Trash" and they were horrible, so I guess thats why, as of Aug 2015 this book is being re-edited. Sucks because the blurb is interesting and I really want to read more form this author. Hope this reedit will be finished soon because I'd like to get into this story. *fingers crossed*

Loved this book. Very witty and clever with an interesting storyline and characters who inspired a reaction. Hope this author publishes more ....

Something was seriously off about this book. It was full of drama and just plain crazy.
Charlie - undiagnosed bipolar? Goes from possessive to suicidal. To be honest his secret was kinda lame. The way he spoke was ridiculous, I had to push myself to ignore it.
Jo - the type of chick you meet at a club thinking she's all that. Then there's her friends and all these guys who keep feeding her ego. She goes from sweet to angry to a sobbing mess in minutes... Shit maybe she's bipolar too. Hell maybe the author is bipolar with the way she wrote this.
There were parts of this book I did like but unfortunately they were overshadowed by ridiculous drama, clingy bfs & gfs, annoying roommate, lame friends and attention whore heroine.
1.5/5

First, I am not sure that I really got the title of this book. Kind of, but not really. Second, the premise of this story was really not believable to me.
On the other hand I did enjoy the characters and thought it had a good pace, that one part felt a little forced to me.

Twists and turns aplenty!
Never judge someone by looking at appearances only! That is one of the messages I took from this book. I couldn't put this book down, I was constantly on edge wondering what was going to happen next or what secret would pop out on the next page!
