This was cute and swoony, I love YA contemporaries, especially the sapphic ones. thank you for the arc!

This was such a cute read! If you're a fan of 'Her Royal Highness' by Rachel Hawkins, then I'd recommend checking this book out. I liked the different points of view from Evelyn and Seth, and their own queer experiences were relatable. Noelle and Jasper were also really great love interests -espeically Noelle, but U did feel like the romance progressed pretty quickly. Not only was there a range of queer representation in this story, but also POC and dyslexic representation which was great to see. I'm also thankful that this story highlighted the importance of asking for consent, even for kissing or light physical contact, we need to normalise this! The writing was reminiscent of fanfiction-style writing (this story was originally on Wattpad) but in a good way! There are a couple of darker themes that could potentially be triggering, so keep that in mind. It was a fun, quick and easy read, and I'd recommend this to anyone looking for sweet queer romance story to binge read!

Thank you #netgalley for providing me with this ARC.

Never Kiss Your Roommate is a fun boarding school novel all about love, friendship, and finding who you want to be.
-
I really enjoyed this book! I read it in one sitting, and I thought both of the main relationships were adorable! The dual POVs were excellent as well, and each character had an easily distinguishable voice,
-
While this book was ultimately lighthearted, there were some major TWs, and the content could get heavy. It was balanced well with the fluff though!
-
Overall, I recommend this for fans of the To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before series and Her Royal Highness!
-
TWs- kidnapping, toxic relationship, sexual assault
-
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing a copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion.

I am the first to be surprised at how much I enjoyed this book. An English boarding school (Great Hall, Common Room and all of that, I am dying) + a beautiful but difficult roommate + major Gossip Girl vibes = the ship has sailed.

Discovering that Seth (Evelyn's new best friend) was a second narrator surprised me a little. I probably judged too much the book by the cover and thought it was entirely focused on Evelyn and Noelle. But in the end, I liked the story between Seth and Jasper so much that I just went with the flow.

The story is absolutely adorable, I loved the growing love interest between Evelyn and Noelle, a textbook enemies-to-lovers, so if you like this kind of stories you can't miss this novel.

The ending was definitely the part that convinced me the least because it kind of came out of nowhere, I must admit, but I was already so invested in the story that once again I just went with the flow. It was a very enjoyable, light reading and a great debut novel.
