The American Roommate Experiment is one of the cutest books I’ve read! It’s funny, heartfelt, sexy, and full of the most adorable moments I’ve read in a while.
Elena Armas can do no wrong, and her first foray into writing dual POVs is no exception! Lucas and Rosie both feel full of life, and their families and friends obviously helped to shape them into the people they are. All of their interactions made me giddy, and I couldn’t put this book down for a second! Their friendship was amazing, the growth both of them individually and them as a couple was beautiful, and I want nothing more than to cuddle on the couch with Taco and read this book again and again!
I can’t talk about this book without talking about Lina and Aaron. Lina obviously had to be involved as the best friend and cousin of the two main characters, and oh my gosh I loved it so much! Her energy, and Aaron’s perceptiveness, lended so much humor and lightness to the book. She’s the best friend that Rosie could ask for, and her love of her cousin Lucas was so obvious even from their first interaction.
The good in this book was amazing. The story was immaculate. The characters were even better. 5 stars.
