Roomies by Tara Altebrando, Sara Zarr
4.0
This book was fantastic. I wish I could have read it when I was transitioning from high school to college. Lo and EB’s lives were completely opposite - and the juxtaposition of their stories made for a great read. They got to know each other via e-mail and that created some challenges for them. The whole time, I was rooting for them to be the best roommates ever! Overall, Roomies was a well-rounded, relatable novel that I recommend all girls read after graduating high school.
Bonus points awarded for the following:
1. The strong father-daughter relationship between Lo and her dad (it had me sniffling when he made her cinnamon roles.)
2. The importance of family in general.
3. Strong female relationships. There were no frenemies here. The girls were looking for a good friend and support.
