Rad Reads

One fab friendship comes to life with Roomies

 
Winter break is upon us, which means there’s tons of extra time in the day to relax and not worry about school! While you’re on a mini vacay, be sure to pick up a book to read by the fire—and we found the perfect one for you. Roomies by Sara Zarr and Tara Altebrando is perfect for any girl to read, even if you aren’t heading off to college.

Roomies follows Elizabeth and Lauren and how they get randomly assigned to be roommates at college in the fall. As the two begin to communicate by e-mail, Facebook and texts, it seems that rooming together will be impossible because the two are so different. But as they continue to communicate throughout the summer, things start to change.

See their friendship come to life through their conversations and recreations of their actual texts, giving the reader a more personal view into the complex relationship that the two have. As life at home becomes increasingly difficult, Elizabeth and Lauren begin to depend on each other more and more—even though they have never met.

Roomies is a hilariously heart-warming story about the power of friendship and how it comes in the most unexpected ways. This novel has major girl power and we totally heart the importance of friendship. Don’t forget to pick up a copy (in stores now!) then come back and share your thoughts.
