Roomies by Sara Zarr, Tara Altebrando
4.0
A thank you goes out to Net Galley for this ARC. I finally had a moment to read it.
One summer... two strangers... sixty five days until they meet.
Each chapter of Roomies is told from the perspective of Lauren or Elizabeth, future roommates at Berkeley, as they get to know each another through emails during the summer leading up to their freshman year.
I really enjoyed the realistic voices in the story. Each character had their own story to tell, their own issues they were dealing with as they prepare to leave home for the first time. It brought me back to the summer before I began college and I was able to reminisce on how different it was for me (pre-Internet).
I highly recommend this for any senior girl who is planning to go away to college (or anyone who wants to revisit that summer before freshman year) and wants to read a fun and very realistic story.
