A review by lawwkward
The Roommate by Rosie Danan
3.0
I had heard really good things about this book (lots of comparisons to the Hating Game which I read at the end of last year and LOVED LOVED LOVED) but to be honest I didn’t really enjoy it. The romance didn’t sizzle enough for me, and I found parts of the story irrelevant or even boring. The writing was weak and many of the real-life aspects to the story struck me as incorrect rather than “creative licence”.
The worst part however *spoilers* was the public declaration of love at the end. And if there is anything I hate reading than a public declaration of love, it’s a declaration on radio or TV. HATE IT. It’s the opposite of my catnip. All of the above sounds like I didn’t enjoy the book, which is untrue, I did, I just think it didn’t live up to my high expectations.
