And They Were Roommates by Page Powars

medium-paced

The way I found to get enjoyment out of this book is to just not take anything seriously and go with it.  A campy story that features over the top characters in a ridiculous academic setting.  Everything feels extremely dramatic, but when looked at through a YA lens, it kind of works here.

Charlie was a difficult character for me to root for, and his romantic arc didn’t really add up to anything for me.
