A review by booksandotherwords
The Temporary Roomie by Sarah Adams

2.0

This book has pregnancy trope (not accidental), forced proximity, enemies to lovers, and fake dating. It is all the stuff that should make a romance book good. Unfortunately, this one isn't. I found both Jessie and Drew childish, especially at their big age. I don't care if it's "enemies to lovers" because it wasn't giving that at all. They were both annoying, and the pranks they pulled on each other were not even funny or clever. I also feel like only Drew went through a character development that made sense. Jessie didn't have one at all. It was like she woke up one day and realized, "Oh wait, I actually like and love you." She was unlikeable at times, and her pregnancy wasn't even an excuse. I wished there were more of them actually liking each other and not left in the last 90% of the book because that just indicated the lack of development as characters and as a couple. The epilogue was sweet, though; I'll give them that.

Thank you, NetGally, for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
