EB and Lauren live on opposite coasts, but they will be randomly assigned roommates at UC Berkely in the fall. They strike up an email correspondence during the summer before their freshmen year, and various incidents threaten their friendship before they even start living together.

Really charming and authentic feeling story; Roomies really reminded me of the summer before my freshmen year of college. Many fears of change, including leaving old friends who you already feel like you are losing before you actually leave, new romances that may not be worth it when you are about to uproot your life, and family drama. Sometimes multiple authors can be problematic for me, but it really worked here.
