Synopsis

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. 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. Holland impulsively offers to wed the Irishman to keep him in New York, her growing infatuation a secret only to him. As their relationship evolves from awkward roommates to besotted lovers, Calvin becomes the darling of Broadway. 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?

Quick Thoughts

It was definitely cute and I couldn’t put it down, but was it anything special or amazing? Nah. I did like a lot of things about it and I also disliked quite a lot. Roomies was definitely addictive and gripping and for that I am grateful. I was able to zip through this one pretty quickly. I did, however, find a lot of things super unrealistic and therefore made this book hard to relate to. Also, if it mentioned Calvin and his Irish accent and how he pronounced “think” like “tink” one more time I was gonna lose my mind. Overall, an average read that delivered the contemporary content that I was in the mood for!
