i had a lot of expectations for this book but it wasn’t as good as i thought.
i think 3rd pov works in heavy angsty romance books and this one was a very fun and light read, so it didn’t “flow” and i didn’t feel the characters emotions and their love.

i voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book, thanks to netgalley for the opportunity. all thoughts and opinions are my own.

thank you to netgalley for the advanced reading copy. I really enjoyed this and will be getting copies for my shop.

I'm back again with another ARC. I'm only 7 reviews from catching up real time with my reading, so I'm trying to push these bad boys out. This book is a pretty stereotypical brother's best friend, except they're all grown adults. This story follows Brian who has officially hit rock bottom. He watched his girlfriend marry another guy, lost his job, and had to move into his parent's roof. After a terrible summer living with his parents, his sister does him a favor and allows him to take the spare room. He had barely unpacked when his sister's best friend shows up. His plan for quietly regrouping his next plan is quickly replaced by pop songs, rom-coms, and bright pink hair. And none of that would be bearable, except there's only one bed.
On the other hand, Sarah didn't think anything could be worse than a marriage proposal gone wrong, then the walk of shame to her best friend's apartment, but of course she's wrong. Because not only has she gone back to living with Jess, her best friend. She has to share the space with Brian. While Brian is grumpy and stubborn, he's also hot (which is something she'd never admit to, since he's completely off limits). As they go back and forward pulling pranks on one another, things between to shift between them. Both characters are a lot of fun to read, and overall I really enjoyed it! It's cute, fluffy, and quick. 3.5⭐s

I didn't have high expectations for this book BUT OH MY GOD!!!! the way the whole enemies to lovers dynamic is written is so good that i couldn't stop reading, the author manages well to give them moments when the tension goes shifting from enemies to lovers. Chef kiss.

The tension was so delish oh my word! I loved this book and will never get over or grow tired of forced proximity in romance. Loved it!

Get a room is a RomCom featuring enemies to lovers tropes.

Sara and Brian lives-in with Brian's sister/Sarah's friend Jess, as Brian is hunting down new positions, whereas, Sara had a break up with the self obsessed, misogynistic excuse of a boyfriend, who dared to propose her on her birthday when she wasn't ready to move forward in her courtship.

The story progresses when Sara was looking up for a fake boyfriend on tinder to tag him along on the business gala, and Brian steps-in in order to help Sara, and here on their infatuation begins.

Sara/Brian had a treaty with jess that either won't date the brother/best friend. The story revolves how they resolves the treaty on good note.

This book was more of a best friend's brother or a single bed trope with loads of banters rather than the enemies to lovers tropes. As Brian and Sara had to fight their right to get the guestroom.

İ didn't quite enjoyed the book as i expected to, and Jess was hella annoying who was self obsessed. She literally blamed Sara for hiding her relationship with Brian where they were kinda trying to find a mutual ground to share the news with Jess, where as Jess overlooked a couple of friendship rules herself but wasn't even considerate about the facts.

I loved the storyline and how the characters grew throughout the book. This was the first book I read from this author, but I will be keeping up with the future publications from this author.

"Get a Room" by Casey Dembowski is an absolutely charming read that brings the enemies-to-lovers trope to life in the best possible way (one of my absolute favorite tropes). This delightful book skillfully combines humor and sweetness, making it a heartwarming and engaging experience from start to finish. The author's adept portrayal of the main characters' witty banter, playful pranks, and evolving connection creates a magnetic pull that kept me thoroughly entertained. Against the backdrop of Brian's tumultuous year and Sarah's unexpected living situation, their journey unfolds with authenticity and emotion. The gradual transformation of their relationship from adversaries to something much more is both believable and endearing. With a mix of laugh-out-loud moments and touching interactions, "Get a Room" earns a solid 4-star rating for its ability to deliver a satisfying blend of romance, friendship, and personal growth.

The plot of this one sounded so fun - I'm a sucker for a good enemies-to-lovers plotline with a side of forced proximity, but I found myself very irritated almost from the start of this one. I think the biggest thing for me was the lack of maturity in the characters. It didn't feel like they were acting their age and the antics felt very juvenile.

This book was so cute and hilarious and fun. It’s the perfect read for when you just need something that will give you pure joy.

I LOVED THIS BOOK!!!!! i didn't realize that this was a book with overlapping characters from Casey Dembowski's other works. So now I am excited to go read those as well. I fa book leaves me thinking about it for days afterwards, then it is always a 5 star read for me.

I like the enemies to lovers trope. I also enjoyed the relationship. Brian and Sarah seemed perfect together and I am glad they both got their happy ending.

A sweet and humorous romantic comedy, a very light read that will keep you laughing throughout. really enjoyed this read and it was fairly short which was a plus

This book was a good 3 star read.
The protagonists were fun, the story was plain and simple, the easy and fast pacing of the book was really nice to read. The forced proximity trope is not my favorite but it was nice discussed in this book and I liked it.
In my opinion, some parts of the book were a little bit unnecessary and made it seem quite long at some points but they resolved quite fast so it was fine. The writing style is easy and good for everyone who is just starting to read english books.
Overall it was a cute and fun read that was a little over the top but not bad at all.

I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I absolutely loved this enemies-to-lovers novel. It was fantastic from the very first page.

I really really liked this book, it was really cute. This book hooked me pretty immediately but I didn’t finish it immediately because I wanted to savor it. We’ve got a best friends brother, fake dating, competition relationship going on in this one and it was fun. I loved these two together and how much they felt toward each other. The friend did piss me off like it did the two mains, I’m glad that the FMC stood up to her in the end and fought for her love. I agree with what the FMC’s mom said about the friend too, she was absolutely correct. I did get emotionally attached to the characters and did cry when their hearts broke and then when they were fixed. Loved the ending but the fact that it was 9 months and 24 days made me think of a baby haha. This is not that kind of book

LOVED the banter between Sarah and Brian! Enemies to lovers x Best Friends Brother is a top tier combination, and the author pulled it off so well!

A fun, enjoyably sweet romance with some very cute MC’s and easy to follow writing.
Get A Room is my first book by this author and I had high expectations. Whilst they weren’t all met, I still had a lot of fun with this and particular loved the first 30% of the book.
I really enjoyed the writing style and found it easy to digest but nothing too complex.
The characters were lovable and sweet.
I enjoy the romance but found it to be slightly forced and juvenile? I don’t know, something about the romance between Sarah and Brian was just cute really, very immature kind of teens in love vibes. Which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but I don’t think it was for me.
I loved the fact Brian started Zumba Wednesdays with Sarah and the Star Wars references they made.
Also the cat!!!!!
I’d probably recommend this to people ages 16 and up because there were some slight explicit content but nothing too out there.
I would read something from this author again for a quick read I think!

While this wasnt as explicit as I would have wanted, this was sweet. It was believable and down to earth and I liked the two main characters very much. This book felt insanely relatable, which was really great.

After absolutely loving the Corey Effect and having to go back and read When We're Thirty, I had high hopes for Get A Room and unfortunately it missed the mark a bit. We meet Sarah, being kicked out of her home by her would be fiance on her birthday after he proposes and she says not yet, she rushes over to BFF Jess's, whose down on his luck brother Brian had just claimed the guest room. Sarah and Brian have had an enemies heavy friendship over the years but fighting over the guest room ends up changing the name of the game. Part enemies, part friends, part close proximity, sprinkled with a little fake dating to lovers and we should get quite the romcom. The banter between the two could have been cute, but it felt a little bit like childhood antics, having two characters bordering in quarter life crises felt like a little too much and I'm sorry the sister's attitude through the whole book. (Like part of me wants a book with the sister and someone who walks in and asks who did this to you, because honestly what was her deal?!) And there's SO many side characters (including pretty substantial reappearance by characters in her other two books) that it took I think too much focus off of what was happening in Brian and Sarah's story.

But then there's that moment. The one with the dress and they lock eyes and you just know it was meant to be and you're watching everything continuing to heat up for the rest of the book! All in all though, this was a cute romcom, plenty of butterflies and chemistry that will keep you turning the page to the end!


Thank you Netgalley and Xpresso Book Tours for the ARC in exchange for my review!

This was a first time read for me by this author and it won't be my last. This was such a cute and fun story! The dynamic between Sarah an Brian was just so adorable and fun. The chemistry between them was evident from the start. Brian has had a tough time of it lately, losing his girlfriend to another man and losing his job and apartment, so he decides to spend some time with his little sister Jess in Philadelphia and regroup. Only he won't be alone. Jess' best friend Sarah, not having had a great year herself, has the same idea. But there is only one extra bed, so they settle it the only way they can - they start playing pranks on each other, which were absolutely hilarious, to determine who can claim it. And somewhere along the way, their feelings started to shift and their relationship began to change. Brian even helps her out with a fake date when she had to face her ex. They each begin to see a side of each other they didn't expect, and their feelings start to evolve into more than just friendship.
Absolutely fun and heartwarming read! I was immediately endeared to both Sarah and Brian's characters. They were well-developed and had realistic qualities that made them relatable. A fun and cute read, but packed with emotion, it left me with a warm fuzzy feeling afterwards. I enjoyed the book and look forward to reading more by this author.
I received a complimentary copy from Netgalley and am voluntarily leaving my review.
