I enjoyed The Roommate way more than I thought. After reading some reviews I was concerned that it would be boring and I wouldn’t like it but that wasn’t the case for even one second.

I liked the sex positivity and how they dealt with sex in general in this book. The typical cliches were featured but they also went deeper with the prejudices with working in the porn industry.

-> “Everyone thought it was the jealousy thing you had to worry about when trying to date in his line of work, but that was only the tip of the iceberg. Jealousy assumed that nonindustry people accepted the moral and social implications of his profession. That they wouldn’t mind introducing someone who made porn to friends and parents.”

-> “How many times had people laughed when they heard his profession? Or stammered and refused to meet his eyes? How many people had called him disgusting?“

After their first time I was hoping for a bit more aftercare seeing them cuddle and reassuring each other. Especially with all the talk about sex and the profession of Josh I just expected not only great sex but also great aftercare.

Also the ending was pretty rushed and I would’ve liked to see more about the process of Shameless, Josh and Clara’s relationship and their respective relationships with their parents.
Apart from that I can’t think of any other flaws in this book.

All in all I was surprised by how much I liked it and would definitely recommend it!

Ok so this was my second time reading the roommate and somehow it was even better then I remember it being. The book was amazing, Clara our little good girl socialite who’s never done anything wrong decides to move across the country for her long time crush only from him to ditch her

I am not a fan of Everrett one bite Clara was wayyyy to good for him

with the new roommate he just rented his room of their house out to. Then enters Josh said new roommate, josh gives me golden retriever energy and I loved it but josh also happens to be a semi famous porn star known for prioritizing female pleasure. So not only is he a super sweet guy but this man knows what he is doing 🥵. I loved how the book wasn’t your typical romance starting with the fact that one of our leads is a porn star but also how it broke down some of the misconceptions and stereotypes about porn stars as well as addressing the issues that are in the porn industry from unfair and unsafe working conditions to catering to a very specific audience while simultaneously making content that doesn’t appel to half the worlds population. Anyway great and cute but also spicy romance that made me ask myself some really important questions. Definitely recommend. Josh may be my favorite book boyfriend ever. Also to quote Josh Darling “everybody is different but none of them are wrong” honestly this man is perfection I don’t know how else to describe him (chef’s kisses 😘). Have fun reading cuties

I really, really enjoyed this book. I feel like it could have had a deeper storyline (or maybe more in depth 🌶️ because it's kind of one or the other), but overall, it was a great book. The main characters are so cute, I really love how their relationship developed.

definitely reread material ✅

Well written, enjoyable, a steamy romcom with lots of meta layers that just work and make for an illuminating read as well as a fun one.

Okay first off - this book has a lot of spice BUT I do want to preface this warning by saying that it is strongly connected to the plot. If you have read The Kiss Quotient, you will most likely understand the sentiment.

I have been waiting to read this book for awhile. I had it on digital hold for months before apparently my library lost its license to the ebook or something and I couldn't get it. Then I put it on hold for a physical copy and got it a little bit ago. With my Neverending list of holds, I finally got a chance to read it and I'm so glad I did and that that wait was worth it. This book shines a glaring spotlight on both the stigma and the treatment of adult film workers in and outside of the industry. It doesn't shy around touchy subjects of many kinds and I greatly appreciate its grit.

The leads of this book are great, though I will say that Josh is written slightly better than Clara. Clara's character development does seem a *tiny* bit stark also, but not egregiously so. They're path to relationship is intriguing and fiery and I definitely rooted for them. I also appreciated the side characters of the story and the depth they added (super excited for Naomi's lead turn in the sequel!)

I also want to call attention to the epilogue of this book. It is around three pages, short and sweet, and shows just a glimpse of the future. That's all an epilogue needs. I know u get super salty about epilogues but I am passionate about it and will die on this literary soapbox.

Overall, if you're looking for a thought-provoking medium burn with a heckin' lot of spice - this is one for you.
