I adore Christina Lauren! This dynamic duo always leaves me smiling at the end of their books, and Roomies was no exception.

Christina Lauren writes so seamlessly, which impresses me since they are a writing pair. Roomies is a standalone contemporary romance told in the first-person POV of our leading lady, Holland, featuring a marriage of convenience. The pacing is decent, though it started a bit slow and I didn’t find it as “unputdownable” as some of their other works.

Roomies is simply a sweet story. Things are not all sunshine and rainbows, but the bad times mixed with the good is what made this story so endearing.

Two things I wish it had more of: humor and steam. There is some banter and wit but not enough for me to feel like this is a romantic comedy. And what can I say…I like sexy times in books! With this book, you get much more of the emotional chemistry than the physical.

Holland is such a relatable character, and she has amazing development across the story. She is, by far, my favorite part of this book! I actually really liked all of the characters, side ones included.

Overall, I would recommend Roomies! It’s not the rom com I was expecting, but it is still a fun, cute story by a fantastic writing pair.
