Lots of music talk and a Broadway setting And if you are not a fan of this trope, then now is my cue to tell you about the other things Roomies has going for it, such as… 2. If you are, I’m convinced you’ll love it, also because though it may seem far-fetched, it is written rather realistically as Holland and Calvin struggle with the massive amount paperwork and stress about their interview. Going into this, you probably already know whether or not you’re a fan of this trope. In this case, Holland marries Calvin, a hot Irish musician whom she has coincidentally also admired from afar for many months, so he can play in her uncle’s show and save it from going under. Let’s start with the obvious one, alright? So naturally, this book features the marriage of convenience trop, where two people set up a fake marriage. So why don’t I change up this review thing and give you 5 more reasons why you should give this a try, if you’re in the mood for romantic and funny, but also need just a little more: 1. Obviously I can talk all day about how romantic it was, or how funny it was, but really, you can get all that from the blurb. Though it may feel like the only new adult books to be found are about college girls having sex, don’t despair and try Roomies! Because Roomies is a pretty great and not to mention fun adventure.

Well, it turns out there really are some pretty decent new adult books out there, and Roomies is one of them. In the middle of the theatrics and the acting-not-acting, what will it take for Holland and Calvin to realise that they both stopped pretending a long time ago?

As their relationship evolves from awkward roommates to besotted lovers, Calvin becomes the darling of Broadway. Holland impulsively offers to wed the Irishman to keep him in New York, her growing infatuation a secret only to him. When the tryout goes better than even Holland could have imagined, Calvin is set for a great entry into Broadway-until he admits his student visa has expired and he’s in the country illegally. Rescued by Calvin McLoughlin from a would-be subway attacker, Holland Bakker pays the brilliant musician back by pulling some of her errand-girl strings and getting him an audition with a big-time musical director. Marriages of convenience are so…inconvenient. My rating in words: Really liked it W HAT IT’S ABOUT: Genre: New Adult – Contemporary – Romance
