![]() After his most recent break-up with on-again/off-again girlfriend Naomi, he was convinced he’d be sleeping on friends’ couches all summer. ![]() Josh Darling couldn’t believe his luck when he found this cheap summer sublet. She’s just managed to quell her panic and is exploring her new home, when a deep male voice responds to her utterance: “So this is how it feels to be well and truly fucked,” with “I get that a lot.” Clara tries not to freak out and we all mentally agree Everett is a jerk. He picks Clara up at the airport, explains why he won’t be sticking around, tells her he’s found someone to sublet his room for the summer, and drops her curbside at his LA house. Except Everett, a musician in a not very successful rock band, is following his own bliss (not Clara) – and going on a summer tour. Her bliss, if you haven’t guessed, is Everett. But when Everett encourages Clara to “ follow her bliss,” after completing her doctorate, and move in with him, Clara impulsively (uh oh) does. ![]() Unfortunately, Everett has so far seemed immune to any pressure from his family – or Clara – to take the friendship to the next level. Their families, part of the Connecticut east coast elite, are close friends, and their parents always hoped Clara and Everett would one day wind up married. ![]() It’s excellent.Ĭlara Wheaton has loved Everett Bloom since they were small children. Surprising, funny, sexy and original, The Roommate is on my shortlist of favorite books of 2020. Friends, there is nothing like reading a debut romance and loving it. ![]()
