Roommating
by Meredith Schorr
Thank you Forever Grand Publishing for the ARC!
Roommating was such a refreshing take on a romcom. I really loved the element of Sabrina being roommates with a senior like Marcia, I think it added a fun unique element to the story. It also made it the perfect environment for forced proximity with her grandson Adam. The highlight for me though was definitely the character development and the way Meredith Schorr handles family conflict and communication. I truly felt like both Adam's family and Sabrina's family were very authentic and had a good balance of conflict as well as support. It made it easy to relate to Sabrina and Adam. In addition to refreshing family dynamics it was so nice to see LGBTQ+ senior representation as it's not something I've seen before and I felt like it was handled very well.
In terms of the actual romance part of the story, it was super enjoyable and had a great mix of tension, angst, and cutesy filled moments.
Bonus points for The Outsiders being mentioned several times because that's my favourite book ever.
