A review by katiebiggs
The Roommate by Rosie Danan
3.0
tl;dr this book was alright but I won’t read it again - 6/10
Josh was super sweet and charming. Clara was very bland but I guess that’s not a terrible thing. I didn’t think they had much chemistry though.
By the end, I wasn’t very invested in the story. Also, some of the scenarios were both predictable and unrealistic, e.g., the first time they did anything mildly steamy.
I do like the some of the underlying themes. (1) Sex work is real work. The author did a good job of explaining the dark side of sex work (in my opinion) without getting too preachy. (2) Don’t spend your entire life trying to meet other people’s ridiculous expectations of you while simultaneously sacrificing your own happiness. (3) Your college degree should not necessarily dictate your career path.
Anywho, this book was alright. :)
