It’s an extra bonus to a story with all the elements you know and love in a Christina Lauren story - the charm, the smarts, the sexiness and the laughs.Ĭan we talk about Holland?! I absolutely loved her. They’ve imbued the story with this sense of musicality, as if there’s a silent conductor in the background, stretching phrases as Calvin and Holland get to know each other and their song swells and contracts. Publishers Weekly called it “fresh” and “sensual,” and it’s true, Roomies isn’t just a meet cute in the subway. Roomies cements Christina Lauren as a one-click author for me. After she’s pushed onto the tracks in the station, Calvin comes to her rescue then disappears, putting into motion a series of events that puts him on the Broadway stage and the pair of them in front of a justice of the peace. She’s developed a long-term crush on Calvin, a wildly talented busker she sees in the subway on her way to work. Set in NYC, Holland Bakker is a would be-writer who works behind-behind the scenes on Broadway. Roomies is charming, captivating, and at times, laugh-out-loud hilarious. If you’re a theater nerd, or you just love musicians and Irish accents, Roomies is 1000x your catnip.
