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

Pretty frickin good. I had high expectations because I had heard about this book but if I’d gone in knowing nothing I would’ve given this 5 stars probably

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 ✅

I think I liked it ? A short, cute book. The friends to lovers, pining, and banter were pulled off really well. This contemporary romance emulated extreme white feminism, smash the patriarchy, millennial vibes. Not saying it’s bad, but I wasn’t a huge fan. I liked seeing sex work in a positive light, but wish there were more details into the manipulation and abuse Black Hat took part in. I know the sex industry is extremely problematic and marginalized, but just Josh’s one experience with Pruitt wasn’t enough for a book with a subplot about the abuse taking place in the industry.

Also I’m still confused why on the cover of the book, is a blonde woman and Clara is constantly described having dark/black hair, and the man on the cover doesn’t really have the same hair as Josh is described to have. So picturing the characters was a challenge. I also feel like there was a lot of room for racial diversity, like making Naomi a person of color. I thought she wasn’t white for the entire book until I saw her sequel book and realized she’s a natural redhead white woman.

Overall, I can see why this book is popular and why it gets the hype - but honestly I’m going to forget it existed in about a week.
