The Roommate by Rosie Danan
4.0
A bit unexpected, a departure from the usual nerdy bookish or self-loathing manly love interests of most of the novels I come across.
However it in some ways perpetuates the unattainable notion that when in close quarters a stranger will see past a girl’s shy exterior and hard shell of academia or bookishness and fall in love with her because of those things. Because they make her * different *
Heartwarming none the less, as it has all the makings of a romcom that could make it to the top of Netflix’s list of hits like yesterday. It paints an uber-realistic picture of LA in the sense that 1 in 10 people that you meet is probably in the adult entertainment industry and in a time when travelling across the Pond is impossible, this was a favorable alternative.
Amazing at building sexual tension with scenes that feel natural and unforced. Sometimes the language – particularly the dialogue, borderlined on cheesy in a way that made me question how realistic it was. But the overall feel-good air of the book helped me move on from those details quickly.
