People have issues in their life and then those issues create a psychological condition in one cannot break out of that thing. Bridgette also had that kind of situation in her mind so she stopped talking to men or in a nutshell to everyone around her. It does not mean that she does not exist but she hates any kind of frankness with anyone. There have been things in the past which broke her heart and this has made her harsh in her attitude.
She was not ready to share her life with anyone and then quite ironically she gets forced to share a room with Warren. Warren was not ready to share a room with a female but when he gets a chance he thinks that it would be a good change.
When he meets Bridgette, he thinks that she would be a tough ask because she cannot bear his presence. Warren is shown as a man who has philosophies of his own. Writer Colleen Hoover has developed Warren in such a way that he is calmer as compared to the female roommate that he is given. Warren thinks that Bridgette might be able to show love with the same intensity if the two starts getting along well.
Jason Carpenter has received very little chance to narrate gently because there are harsh conversations on multiple occasions between the two main characters. It is a different love story than This Girl: A Novel and It Ends with Us because the two people come together not for the sake of love rather they are forced to live in the same room because of the circumstances. Then they think that they are able to bear each other for the rest of their life.
