Roommating had some genuinely charming and humorous moments, and I really appreciated the love for books that ran throughout the story. The concept of an older woman taking in younger roommates for companionship added heart and gave space to explore themes like grief, aging, and even coming out later in life. 

That said, the romance felt forced. The MMC’s behavior was inconsistent—seemingly just to create conflict—and the FMC never questioned it, which made the drama feel contrived. 

Thanks to Forever for the eARC!
