Description

"Warmly funny and gorgeously sexy." (New York Times Book Review)

House Rules:

Never look up your roommate online

The Wheatons are infamous among the east coast elite for their lack of impulse control, except for their daughter Clara. She’s the consummate socialite: over-achieving, well-mannered, predictable. But every Wheaton has their weakness. When Clara’s childhood crush invites her to move cross-country, the offer is too tempting to resist. Unfortunately, it’s also too good to be true.

After a bait-and-switch, Clara finds herself sharing a lease with a charming stranger. Josh might be a bit too perceptiv - 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 realizes living with him might make her the Wheaton’s most scandalous story yet. His professional prowess inspires her to take tackling the stigma against female desire into her own hands. They may not agree on much, but Josh and Clara both 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.

Ce que les critiques en disent

“What an incredible debut! Danan gives us strangers to annoyed-roommates to kinda-friends to angsty-pining to finally-lovers with humor, wit, and just a hint of pathos. Josh and Clara are easily my favorite ‘smash the patriarchy’ couple, and The Roommate is easily one of my top romance reads of 2020!” (Jen DeLuca, author of Well Met)

"The Roommate is laugh-out-loud funny, bananas sexy, and deeply romantic. Danan’s voice is fresh and sharp, and the romance between Clara and Josh is both sizzling hot and heartwarming. Everything I want in a romance." (Andie J. Christopher, USA Today best-selling author)

"Nuanced, funny, super steamy and surprisingly tender, The Roommate raises the bar for rom coms in 2020 - a smashing debut, and I can't wait for more by Rosie Danan!" (Evie Dunmore, author of Bringing Down the Duke)

Interesting, not bad overall

This story was just okay for me. It lacked a "oumph" that I expect in a romance novel. I didn't get attached to the characters or the story, but it wasn't bad either. I liked the main male character, and I liked that it was a unique story with themes or subjects we don't see often.

The female main character is a socialite and some aspects of her behavior, reactions, annoyed me. It prevented me to fully connect with her, but this may very well be a me thing.

So overall, not bad, but I would have liked more.

Honestly, wasn’t expecting it to be this good

Wow. I actually really enjoyed the book, there was actually some wonderful character development! I loved the underlying stories & the fact it wasn’t just about romance and sex but so much more. Clara & Josh had great chemistry and it was written very well. The ending was okay, wish there was a little bit more of a wow ending but it was still great :) I would recommend.

A good one

This was a nice ride. I was pleasantly surprise and happy to discover that the characters had baggages and development. Reading the resume you kind of assume that it will be intoxicatingly smutty or disgustingly hot but no the « hum hum » is nice and lovingly. I really enjoyed the book, didn’t regrets my credit or money.

Good "Beach read"

Very enjoyable listen. But the male narrator's voice almost ruined it for me, something sleezy about it, didn't fit the character.

Cute and funny!

The story was so fun to listen to, a little cheesy at times, but really funny and really cute. the male performer wasn't my favorite as his voice for any female made me cringe a lot but overall it was good.

Great book but...

I loved this book and it was an interesting story but the male narrator ruined it. His Clara voice sounded like the Wayans Brothers from White Chicks

Bow chicka wow wow

Felt like I was having a cheesy porn movie read to me. The plot line had potential but it fell flat for me.

Steamy and fun

I really loved this book. I downloaded it not expecting much but was pleasantly surprised. It was cute, romantic and steamy from beginning to end. I'm usually not into cutesy romance but the author pulled it off very well without making it too cheesy or timid. The narrators also did a fantastic job bringing the story to life. When I first heard the male narrator's voice it didn't fit my imagination and I was a bit off put but he turned my opinion around with a great performance. I look forward to reading more from this author.

so great.

though this book falls victim to the same things as most romance novels, conflict being a result of a lack of communication, I really loved everything about this book. it is so sex positive and kind of political and wonderful and just... great.

the characters were solid. the chemistry wasn't always flying off the page but it was enough to keep me interested in invested for the whole novel. I listened to this one really quick. I think I got through it in two or three days. this is likely one that I will re listen to in the future.

swoooooooon

This book was very interesting and had a male main character who was quite different than other male main characters (no spoilers) in rom coms and I LOVED it. Clara and Josh were amazing and their chemistry was off the charts. The book touched on many different important topics and the character growth is epic. I found myself laughing out loud and getting very attached to these characters, including the side characters (heck yes Naomi). I am really looking forward to more by this author.
