- I'll be honest, I didn't love that Rahul was sort of a nice guy/friendzone character. But he was such a good counterbalance to Jasmine that I could look past it for the most part.
- Hibbert also excels at giving characters real backstory - often tough ones - and exploring those experiences in a safe and loving way.

The Roommate Risk features friends to lovers, as well as plenty of pining and banter. I loved Jasmine and Rahul’s friendship, and seeing that evolve into a romance was such a treat. The chemistry between them is top tier, easily some of the best out of all the fictional couples that have stolen my heart over the years,
Not only did is there an epilogue in the book, but signing up for Talia’s newsletter gets you access to an additional bonus epilogue. I truly feel spoiled. Extra content is the best, especially when it’s romantic content.
I may or may not end up reading all of Talia’s backlist books as I wait for them to release more! And I definitely want to buy this book. I can’t help myself.

I really loved the fact, that in the end, both characters changed their outlook on their relationship as a whole to be able to be good together.

As always, Talia Hibbert is a fantastic writer. I listened to the audiobook. The narrator is the same as for The Princess Trap, and he is REALLY good at describing the intimate scenes. He is not so good at accents though, since his accent for Rahul sounds like the same accent as for the male lead in the previous book, and they are not at all from similar countries.
