Christina Lauren's Roomies is so much fun. And not just because it reminds me of that Friends episode when Phoebe announces that she and Mike are moving in together and Monica says something like "Roomie? Don't you mean groomie?". But because it's about following your heart and your art, even when both get you into trouble.
Aspiring novelist Holland Bakker never dreams that taking the subway to stalk listen to Calvin McLoughlin play guitar will upend her life. But when Calvin unexpectedly does her a favor, she does him two in return. The first is to get him a job on Broadway. The second is to marry him. Why the rush to the altar or, in this case, city hall? It seems that the Irish Calvin is in dire need of that classic romcom accessory, namely a green card.
What follows is flirty and funny, sexy and sweet. As Holland and Calvin muddle through their marriage of convenience, Holland learns a lot about herself. After an unrelenting bout of writer's block, she's even inspired to write again. Also, part of the appeal of this story for is me is that I picture it taking place in the '80s. In my mind, Holland has a perm, and Calvin has a modified mullet. Also, they both wear acid-washed jeans.
Hitting all the high notes -- and hijinks -- Roomies is a romance so crazy it might just work.

I love the title to your post! Awesome title for the book too! This looks fun! & in the CITY too!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Thanks for your comments..I had noticed the article about Lucas Wong and I thought immediately..is that who I think it is? Well of course, "Boone" was all I could think... and I had to go back and read it..and whats really interesting how many on YOUTUBE are saying, "He was back in China when people were saying all this was happening"..and all this time I thought he was just in a K-pop band, but as I have learned many of these corporations create bands for two different countries. But sometimes, it's best not to read whats on MSN anyway. Of course, I will still continue to carry a torch for Boone! Thanks so much for your comments. All the best to a wonderful Memorial Weekend..I will be at the library. Our summer reading program starts Tuesday!
Oh so fun! Yes, I would definitely be thinking of a Friend's episode while reading this one! Great to see your review! There was a time when Paul Rudd was the ML in anything I read..lol..hahaha...🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸💗💗💗💗💗💗 Hopefully, I am not creating confusion with both Rachel and Beth who are in different stories. But I thought I better get back to Beth who is on the East Coast! While with Fan & Ollie..I am not sure how long the "writing group" will last, but I kind of hope it fizzles so I can just got with Fan & Ollie. Oh, so much I want to do. & Maybe make some Barbie jeans too!
Such a fun read! Love what you said about it being in the 80's. That made me smile! The characters look fun and intriguing too!🧁🧁🧁🧁🧁🧁🧁🧁 Thanks for reading and your comments! Yes, I may have turned things upside down! & I kind of like that...especially with Nic and Tristan..oh, and I can't forget about Delia and Dora too...throw in a wedding and mystery men..oh my..well, hopefully it will be interesting. Thanks again for all your inspiration. All the best to your creativity! Happy Memorial Weekend💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
What a fun read!!! The plot of the book sounds like a whirlwind of romance. Also, I like the fact that you pictured it taking place in the '80s, with perms and mullets abound! 💖💘
