This is a book about an uptight socialite and a porn star, and their unlikely romance through forced proximity, hence the title of this book.

This book is steamy and sweet and funny and political - sex workers’ rights? Feminism? Battling big corporations? Centering female pleasure? Yes to all of these! I loved the dynamic between Josh and Clara, and I really enjoyed the layers in their personalities. I identified very strongly with Clara’s fears about driving.

I would have liked a little more diversity within the characters, but everything else in this book is top notch.

Coincidentally, this book just celebrated its first birthday! HBD, The Roommate!
