These two were an absolute disaster. Which, I guess, is to be expected of a Julliard-trained busker and a theater nepo baby falling into a marriage of convenience. Like most of CLo’s books I had to put on some pretty hefty rose colored glasses and suspend reality. But, I can’t say I didn’t enjoy it since I finished this in just over a day.
-1⭐️ for the absolutely horrendous audiobook narrator that almost had me DNF-ing. Her accents for Robert and Calvin were brilliant but it was so impossible to follow the story when she kept slipping between her abhorrent fake American accent and what I assume was her actual voice. Not knowing much about the plot going in I actually initially assumed Holland was also Irish and not from Des Moines, Iowa of all places. The second I switched to actually reading “Roomies” I couldn’t put it down.

The WORST reader, perhaps it would have been more enjoyable if I had read it vs audiobook by someone reading in the same lilt at the end of every sentence. By the end of the book i wanted to crawl the wall. Cute story, typical format but lovable characters.
This book surprised me so much and after I finished, I almost scream to myself WHY DIDN'T I READ IT SOONER?????
I absolutely LOVED Roomies, definitely my new favorite by Christina Lauren. It is a fun, exciting, lovely and delightful book. Arghhhhh I couldn't put it down until I finished.

How many ways can I say cute, adorable, and squeal-worthy without loosing all meaning? Roomies is maybe the funnest Christina Lauren book I've read. There was so much humor and romantic tension. I loved every second. Holland and Calvin have wonderful chemistry and I really loved seeing Holland's relationships with her uncles. The weakest part of the story was the weird/very bad miscommunication that happened near the end of the story when Calvin's mom and sister visit. I feel like it wasn't really resolved on page and I just have some question still. But overall I had the best time reading this - lots of laughs and swoony moments! What more could I want.
