The Roommate Problem by Mariah Ankenman


Thank you to NetGalley and Entangled Publishing for providing me with a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.


Goodreads Synopsis

To Moira “Mo” Rossi, the world is full of sunshine, goodness, and happily ever afters—so of course she figures finding the perfect roomie will be easy. But after four creepos who ask if benefits come with the room and one woman who claims she’s a vampire, Mo is officially desperate. So what if the guy she agrees to on paper ends up being the Derrick Downer to her Sally Sunshine in person? She’s the queen of making lemonade. August Porter expected his new roommate Mo to be like him—neat, practical, and oh yeah: male. Not the outrageous hippie with more stars in her eyes than there are in the sky. She’s infuriating, exasperating, his exact opposite in every possible way...and the bright ray of sunshine he didn’t even realize his gray world was missing. Suddenly, falling into bed with his roommate isn’t the worst idea he’s ever heard. Just falling in love with her is. But one of them is keeping a secret that could turn their opposite attraction into utter disaster.

Review

So this is the third in the Mile High Happiness series but can be read as a standalone. I recommend reading the other two just because they’re amazing and they give you a bit more understanding of Mo’s best friend’s and their relationships.


I absolutely loved this book, just as much as I loved The Best Friend Problem and The Best Man Problem. Mariah Ankenman has done it again and I found myself really connecting with this story and it’s characters. I found this story impossible to put down and ended up devouring this story in one night.


I loved Mo and was so happy to finally read her story and her journey to love. She’s incredibly caring, selfless and thoughtful. She goes out of her way for others and wanted August to feel comfortable as soon as he moved in. I love her personality, her style and most of all her friendship with Agatha who is like a grandmother to her.


August frustrated me at the beginning, especially when he first meets Mo. He’s a clean freak and doesn’t want to experience what the town has to offer. He’s here to support his grandmother Agatha and convince her to sell her flower shop and finally retire. However the more we learnt about August the more I understood the reasons why he has trouble trusting people and letting them in. I ended up really liking his character and the chemistry and banter he had with Mo.


My only issue with the book is how quick everything happened in terms of the time line. I think I would have liked it to have taken a little bit longer for things to happen and not the few months in book that it was.


The Roommate problem is a cute, fast-paced romance filed with chemistry and romance! I have absolutely loved this series and I’m sad to see it end. I have loved every one of these characters and have loved reading about them finding love along the way! If you’re a fan of steamy romances then this series is for you!


Rating: 4/5 stars
