The American Roommate Experiment: A Novel

I couldn't continue the last 3 hrs.. I'll read the book. The make narrator was awful.

Would've LOVED it if the male narrator wouldn't force his voice so low. Became a little cringey sometimes. But overall such a cute book

I loved it! 9/10 form me! A bit cheesy but ?!

It was a sweet Meet cute but Rosie’s voice was somewhat annoying. And Lena’s? So aggravating. Lucas’ voice though… super hot.

You know how it’s irritating when YA books have teens speaking like adults? Well imagine how much MORE annoying it is when adult romance books have grown-ass men and women speaking and thinking like teenagers!! Fuck me. Six chapters in and my gag reflex couldn’t take it anymore and I was in danger of a full-on hurl-fest. I hate these characters. If I met them in real life I’d still hate them. It’s not fucking cute or adorable or any of the other sweet shit. Grow-the-fuck up! Ugh!!

Like Spanish Love Deception, the American Roommate Experiment begins with our FMC having a super awkward encounter with the MMC. BUT also just like SLD, once I was past the cringe-worthy opening scene, Rosie’s character blossomed and unfurled. Shes funny and teasing, caring and anxious. She’s got a lot on the go, and a lot on her mind, and so it becomes clearer why that cringy beginning happens.

And Oh My bookie goodness, do I swoon! Which, for me, was surprising because it is not enemies to lovers. Lucas is a suave Spanish surfer, and Lena’s cousin. He’s the one that couldn’t make it to the wedding. He is thoughtful, considerate, sexy, a talented cook and full of secrets. He’s wonderful, and like Rosie, I couldn’t help but daydream about him. He’s so wonderful, and truthfully it is Elena Armas’ superior storytelling that makes his character compelling instead of relying on a trope to drive the characters through the story.

This book is absolutely stuffed with dreamy swoony (spicy) moments, laugh out loud moments, and relatable situations that had me entirely caught up in the story. And if you like the One Bed trope…this one has one - everything…one bed, one studio apartment, one stool.

I think I would have enjoyed it better but the guy that did Lucas's voice drove me a bit crazy. He tried too hard to be deep and raspy and it was off putting. The book was in many ways way too predictable. The last 2 hours I was just waiting for it to be over.

Dont know if it was due to the moment I listed to this book or what, but i devour this book. Its a new favourite for me

It was sweet and adorable! Best story I’ve heard!! Love the build up and everything!

Tbh I enjoyed it a lot because reading about these experiments reminded me of a time in my life I did the similar thing.

Many complained about the narrators but I actually loved them both. Even the male characters exaggerated deep slow voiceI thought it made it fun and spicy. Embrace the romance genre for what it is!!

A simple and predictive story. I don't know if I can recommended...

Loved the book but wasn’t fond of the narrators. Good fun read!

LOVE LOVE LOVE their love, I do agree with the other reviewers when it comes to the narrator for lucas, the character however I LOVE

Love love love love love this book! Absolutely enchanting. Very adorable love story.

This was a trip... not in a good way that is. And it's sad saying so but I wouldn't recommend it.

it dragged a little, but was entertaining. relationship was cute, sometimes unrealistic and corny.. but cute.

What a slow burn! This book had me falling in love with its characters and the ending didn’t disappoint. Can’t wait for more from Elena!

Love the story but it was slow and felt rush at the end.

I was constantly bored! I even think that it's worse than the first book and that one was a huge disappointment for me

I like the story between Lucas and Rosie, but I am not a fan of keeping secrets part. She has secrets she won’t tell her family but continues to not tell them. I had to skip a few chapters of the internal struggle with her hypocrisy.

Very very Sweet story & I loved the narrators’ voices!

- 3.7 the final was to rushed and basic .

I love this book. It made me smile and cry.

Adorable characters with a seriously spicy connection. Great story but the plot moves slowly at times.

The slooooooooooooowest damn burn romance I’ve ever read! So good but ugh the sexual tension!

It was slow, romantic but not many events. Ending is too predictable. Her previous book was much better.

3.5* I had hoped to like this one a little bit more. It's not bad, I guess it didn't resonate with me.

It was okay. Not worth the hype TBH. The characters weren’t well developed, and felt like they talked kinda immature for their age.

Stupid and annoying
Why is the guy whispering
Hrad better than this shit
