Christina Lauren - Roomies review

GAH! I loved this story so hard! I truly didn't want it to be over. I wasn't ready! I'm writing this review two days after finishing it because it still had its hold on me.  Talk about epic book hangover! I was completely immersed in Holland and Calvin's lives. Christina Lauren write in such a way that the reader is quickly drawn into the story and feels the emotions. I enjoyed Holland's relationship with her uncles. It's unique, but suits them. I enjoyed watching Holland discover herself and determine what it was SHE needed.  Holland is a unique character and has an interesting crush. Several people she works with know about said crush and give her a crazy idea. But it's one that she can't let go and I loved seeing this story play out. Sure it's unconventional, but it's sweet, endearing and has ALL THE FEELS! I don't want to ruin this story for you by giving too much away, but know that you absolutely need this book in your life! I feel like I can't give this book justice. But know it's a top read of 2017 for me!  Hurry and grab your copy today!

From subway to Broadway to happily ever after. Modern love in all its thrill, hilarity, and uncertainty has never been so compulsively readable as in New York Times and #1 international bestselling author Christina Lauren’s (Beautiful Bastard, Dating You / Hating You) new romance.

Marriages of convenience are so...inconvenient. 

For months Holland Bakker has invented excuses to descend into the subway station near her apartment, drawn to the captivating music performed by her street musician crush. Lacking the nerve to actually talk to the gorgeous stranger, fate steps in one night in the form of a drunken attacker. Calvin Mcloughlin rescues her, but quickly disappears when the police start asking questions.

Using the only resource she has to pay the brilliant musician back, Holland gets Calvin an audition with her uncle, Broadway’s hottest musical director. When the tryout goes better than even Holland could have imagined, Calvin is set for a great entry into Broadway—until his reason for disappearing earlier becomes clear: he’s in the country illegally, his student visa having expired years ago.

Seeing that her uncle needs Calvin as much as Calvin needs him, a wild idea takes hold of her. Impulsively, she marries the Irishman, her infatuation a secret only to him. As their relationship evolves and Calvin becomes the darling of Broadway—in the middle of the theatrics and the acting-not-acting—will Holland and Calvin to realize that they both stopped pretending a long time ago?
