Y’all, The Roommate Risk is hot 🥵 this was my second foray into Talia Hibbert’s writing and the first full length novel of hers that I’ve read, and it certainly did not disappoint.
The emotional growth that Jas goes through in this book is so good! We love a girl who gains self awareness and grows from her mistakes! We also love a man who cooks, and who knows first aid, and who is that hot between the sheets 🥵
I will say that I didn’t love how the beginning of this book felt a bit like insta-love. Once we got through more of the flashbacks it made more sense, but that’s not a trope I’m a fan of personally.
Anyway, I thoroughly enjoyed this book and am looking forward to reading more by Talia Hibbert. 4 stars.

This isn't a bad romance story per se I just realised I do not like when the relationship between the MCs is already existing for one bc it's more show then tell and also I am not able to connect with the MCs and can't relate to their feelings.
I mean they are already really close friends and I don't see why and they were already attracted to each other so it kind of feels like you are thrown into a story even if there are a few flashbacks.
But I appreciate that the fMC is the one who has commitment issues and the mMC is the patient one who is okay with being the only one giving(love) as it is often times the other way around.
Jas in general was an interesting and honestly fascinating character to read about and I loved her growth and self awareness.
Spice(quality&quantity):
2/5
It was there, somtimes also detailed and explicit words were used, but the "vibe" was not always there.

A classic Talia Hibbert story. Girl who doesn’t know how to love and boy who loves too hard. And lots of sex. Overall, an easy and entertaining read!
