Roomies by Tara Altebrando, Sara Zarr
5.0
I really enjoyed Roomies, mostly because I was living vicariously through Eb and Lauren. I never went away to college, and I also didn't stay on campus. Nor did I have a serious relationship until I was already partially through college, so seeing those aspects were quite fun for me.
However, that also has its downsides - because I didn't go through what Eb and Lauren did, I don't know how realistic it is. It makes sense to me, to email your future roommate the summer before you start college, to get to know each other, but I mean, do kids these days actually do that? I guess they must or else Roomies would not be as well liked as it is.
This is a very fast read - or was for me - and that was also in its favor. A little fluffy, with its dark sides too. I recommend it to anyone who wants an easy YA read that is absorbing.
Many thanks to Little, Brown Books for Young Readers and NetGalley for an opportunity to read & review this book.
