📚 We talk a lot about how romance novels are secretly feminist because they are sex positive and center female desire, and THE ROOMMATE is the most direct version of that I've ever seen.
📚 Clara and Josh are a great mismatched pair, and I loved watching them work to understand each others' history and approach to life.
📚 Also, I'm obviously here for any book with a plot about toppling corrupt, patriarchal corporations and taking matters into your own hands (in more ways than one, ha).
📚 I did find that each time Josh and Clara found themselves in a sexual situation it felt WAY contrived. Like, (minor spoiler), you did not need to strip and get into the shower with her to help her wash her hair, sir.
