The Roommate by Rosie Danan
3.0
overall a pretty solid and enjoyable read
plot was averagely developed, characters had good growth, and tension was thick (had me giggling and kicking my feet at some points). what made the plot special was the message of the book - women's experience with sex, intimacy, and insecurities. i related heavily with some of the topics of insecurities of allowing your body to be vulnerable in front of someone. it's like i was reading someone else going through the same experiences as me which was really reassuring and beautiful. it was also a real confidence booster to read such a powerful & independent female lead whose not afraid to take control of her own pleasure and show that it's not just the men that get something out of sex and women don't.
although rosie danan's work didn't really stand out all that much to me, i really enjoyed the topics she brought up in this story.
