I love this book, because it brought me right back to my last summer before I left the nest and headed off to college. I got the letter in the mail telling me who my potential roommate was. Like the characters in the story, I came from a household with younger siblings and my roommate was an only child. We were as different as two people could be, and the thought of sharing a room with yet another person when I was starting a new life was scary and not at all what I really wanted. We ended up having a great first year together, but the years after my Freshmen year of college, I forked out the money for my own single room and was much happier for it as I had my own space. This book was a quick and easy read, and would be great as a gift to someone who is departing out on this wonderful journey, It gives you a perspective from each character, chapter by chapter. It is a great story I highly recommend to anyone who wants a fun, quick read and who might like a trip down memory lane.
