As I mentioned above The Two Week Roommate has a number of triggers in this book, that I thought the author kindly provided at the beginning of the story, so I passed them on to you.
I liked this book a lot because there were some aspects of the male lead that you see frequently in female leads but rarely in the male. In particular I'm talking about the fact that Gideon was a virgin, I typically get annoyed with the cliched virgin female lead but I liked it in this context. As Gideon says in the book it doesn't matter how far he's removed himself from his parent's religion, there are somethings that he can't help but think instinctively somethings are wrong. So while he never thought s3x before marriage was truly bad he still had a hard time moving on past it. I also liked that even though he was the quite grumpy type, he made sure to be very communicative with Andi. He didn't hide the fact that he didn't want kids and made sure to tell her early into dating so she could make an informed decision about what their relationship was going to look like. In so many books you see them hiding stuff like this until they're in a committed relationship and it blows up in their face.
