But I finished it last year, so it was a late review. Hehe.<br /><br />Roomies dealt with a common situation and yet it is such a different kind of read. It also brought me back to my uni days when I stayed at the hostel for only a short while.<br /><br />It was an "Ouch" moment when EB received Lauren's first e-mail. :D Glad they worked it out.Josettehttp://www.booksloveme.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5345948308406299194.post-66287125640101853822014-04-10T18:50:37.117-04:002014-04-10T18:50:37.117-04:00No worries!

The way they were talking about it, it sounded like it was in the city. It's also entirely possible I wasn't paying close enough attention when I was listening.Tahleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10330160603781228707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5345948308406299194.post-63097724814243408292014-04-10T12:55:18.601-04:002014-04-10T12:55:18.601-04:00This seems like a cute read!This seems like a cute read!The Girl who Loved to Writehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11069853342158261301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5345948308406299194.post-5365918605013300282014-04-09T18:26:44.067-04:002014-04-09T18:26:44.067-04:00Roomies has been sitting in my Nook for a couple m...Roomies has been sitting in my Nook for a couple months and I haven't gotten around to reading it. The thing that stood out to me when I was reading reviews about Roomies was the fact that the two characters would be attending UC Berkeley, my dream school and the alma mater of my mother and some other relatives. I feel awkward for correcting you over something minor, but UC Berkeley isn't in San Francisco; it's in an urban college town called Berkeley. It's about 25 minutes from SF by BART or 40 minutes in the Bay Area traffic by car.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
