Roommating by Meredith Schorr

4.0

 This was a cute new adult read that focused on the two mcs who are accidentally roommates in Manhattan. The FMC is in grad school and also working in the library while living with her roommate who is an elderly woman in her 70s. I loved the elderly roommate plot because it was fun and brought different personality and layers to the story. The fmc's roommate has a grandson, the mmc, who she let move into the apartment because they were estranged, and she wants to be here for him now. I liked how the main characters came to know each other and the forced proximity aspect as well. The romance had so much chemistry and steamy moments. I liked watching them get to know each other more and the shared experience of being estranged and getting farther away from their grandparents. As someone that was a grad student twice, I really related to the fmc's money struggles and trying to stay afloat. There is a third-act conflict, and overall, this was a good fun romance. Thanks to Forever for this arc!
