tvaddictedbookworm 's review for:
Roomies
by Christina Lauren
Have you ever started a book and wondered "is this book ever going to end?" That is how I felt reading Roomies.
Holland Bakker works at a theater were her uncle's husband works. For months she has been obsessed with a street musician she's dubbed Jack. Turns out Jack's name is actually Calvin.
The synopsis pretty much tells what this story is about. While this story had potential to be really good, the main character, Holland, really prevented that from happening. She was the most insecure person, and frankly lost 25-year old person I've read in a while. And we only get Holland's view in this book. It honestly would have been better to hear from Calvin, especially when he got his big break.
The best characters in this story were Holland's uncles, and they were secondary. I didn't feel much of a connection to either character, and the events with Calvin's family at the end of the book didn't make much sense.
This book was about 150 pages too long and IT DID NOT HAVE AN EPILOGUE. There were some issues brought up at the end that were not resolved; that was incredibly frustrating.
Overall, this book was just blah. I skipped so much because I was bored and just wanted it to be over.
I would skip.
