Roomies by Tara Altebrando, Sara Zarr

I had high hopes for the execution of this book and I was not disappointed. I'm surprised this storyline has not been explored that much in literature. It's ripe for good storytelling.
I was slightly annoyed by this Catholic dig early on that probably no one else will notice. It makes me mad that a lot of this book had to do with how everyone pretends race isn't an issue anymore, but it still is, but it's fine to lump all people of a certain belief together. Not ok.
I know this is being touted as a great new adult title, but I think it's much more YA than NA (although there is a ton of questioning whether to lose virginity or not, so you know, not a middle school book). Either way, I enjoyed it.
