The Roommate by Rosie Danan

The Roommate

by Rosie Danan

'Laugh-out-loud funny, bananas sexy, and deeply romantic' Andie J. Christopher

'This book IS PURE JOY' Christina Lauren

Clara Wheaton is the consummate good girl: over-achieving, well-mannered, utterly predictable. When her childhood crush invites her to move across the country, the offer is too good to resist. Unfortunately, it's also too good to be true.

Suddenly, Clara finds herself sharing a house with a charming stranger. Josh might be a bit too perceptive - not to mention handsome - for comfort, but there's a good chance he and Clara could have survived sharing a summer sublet if she hadn't looked him up on the internet . . .

Once she learns how Josh has made a name for himself, Clara realises living with him might destroy the reputation she's spent years building. But while they may not agree on much, both Josh and Clara believe women deserve better sex. What they decide to do about it will change both of their lives, and if they're lucky, they'll help everyone else get lucky too.

3.5 to 4 stars. Review to come- gotta think about this one a bit.
After thinking about this for quite a while, I have come to the conclusion that I did enjoy the book but there was something missing for me. It was funny and I enjoyed the characters but there was just a little something missing for me that even months late, I can't put my finger on.

With that said, I would totally read whatever Ms. Danan writes next and am in fact, looking forward to what she publishes after The Roommate!
