This witty and wonderful novel follows at 21-year-old college life blogger who ends up moving in with 3 very different men for her last semester hence the title, and obviously, hijinks ensue with some hilarity and some surprisingly serious moments that left me breathless. Loved it!

A Very funny upbeat book, I give props to the author for not making her fall for in love. Or have a crazy love triangle going on.

Thank you for letting me read your book. At this time I have to give it two stars and a DNF.

A hilarious look into the lives of three roommates in college surviving their senior year.

I loved the inside look of Jo, A.J. and Drew who based on assumptions realize that Jo is actually Josephine and didn't realize that they agreed to let a girl live with them. Each of the characters I connected with because as a college kid it's hard trying to juggle school life while also trying to have a social life. With a hilarious, but realistic approach it was filled with prank wars, relationships, friendships, come-to-Jesus moments, family and a lot more.

I can respect a story where the girl moves in with three guys and doesn't immediately fall in love.

This book was nothing like I thought it would be, you know college kids hooking up, partying too much etc. but it was more than that. It is a coming of age story and you see how college seniors are wondering what is next in the adult world and what everything entails. I think this book was a bit young for me but I still liked it

This book was not what I expected it to be at all. I still enjoyed, it despite that. The characters are relatable, and the story does pull you in. I would definitely suggest this book to others.

I am sorry I never got a chance to read this. My phone would not download it. I apologize.

I wasn't expecting to like this book, I'll be completely honest with you. When I requested it on NetGalley I was knee-deep in contemporary books but right now I'm just really not feeling them... or so I thought. I surprisingly really enjoyed this book and finished it in near-record time! It's a lighthearted, cute and generally a pretty realistic read. This book is very character-driven, which I think is a major reason why I enjoyed it so much, I just loved the characters. Jo was funny and not your typical girly girl. I typically hate to read about girly-girls because I just can't relate to that. I loved Jo because she reminded me of myself. Obviously, like any book, I did have my issues with it but they're really only minor. I would still 100% recommend this book to anyone who loves character driven contemporaries with no romance. Yes, you heard it, no romance.

Alright, I'm reading a lot of negative reviews for this book right now and I seriously can't find a reason why people would hate it so much... Sure, my rating isn't the best one either, but we'll come to that later. There's no need for reviewers to start getting mean. I just don't understand it.

Last Semester is told in four different point of views, which is a lot. I never thought I'd actually enjoy reading four different voices so much, but the author managed great. Without even looking at who was telling the chapter, you could always tell. The characters had their own voices that couldn't be misunderstood for another. There's Johanna - Jo -, who's probably one of the strongest female leads, I think. She seems like she's so self assured and knows exactly what she wants in life. Of course, the reader gets taught otherwise during the story, but still... And then there's my fave character, Drew, the ultimate nerd and even nerdier than anyone else I've ever read about. He's so adorable. Also, he's the only one who gets a little romance in the book, so I loved reading his parts. A.J. is a typical rich kid, thinking he's God's gift to women or something and Rob's... Well, I thought he's an asshole. That incident that happened to him - the joke Jo played on him - served him right. I couldn't stand him, though he grew on me, as well.

You'd think it's super hard to keep track of all these characters' lives. Basically, I don't know how the author wants to manage writing other books, because Jo, Drew, A.J. and Rob all had their own life, their own problems and everything you can possibly read about in other books, all topics, have been used for them. They all get their own stories, none of these character is boring in the least and I admire the author for achieving that.

Of course, it takes some time after Jo moves in with the boys until they're bonding a friendship. But seriously, I loved these guys together, which is probably why I think this book has got one of the best college friendships in it. The way A.J. costantly tried to hit on Jo, the way Jo and Rob hate each other's guts in the beginning and Drew's funny comments... Everything about them was great. They were perfect for each other and I was a little shocked when I realized it was only that... Friendship.

And that's why my rating is "low". I missed some romance, I didn't like the way this book started with a hospital scene (but I was glad when later in the book, the scene wasn't repeated but dealt as read already) and sure enough, the short blog posts by Johanna were fun and totally important for the further story of her future life, but I never really looked forwar to reading them and I can't even blame the author for that, so I might be mean to still write about this, but it just wasn't for me. Yet, I thought it was great for the characters to find themselves. I mean, that's what this age is about and the author captured that great, captured their dreams, passion and wishes very well. So I would definitely recommend this to anyone who isn't bothered by a little less romance than usual, but wants to have a fun time while reading.

Funny, realistic, characters are charming! Interesting idea, and overall concept. Last Semester, introduces Johanna Gold, or as everyone knows her by, Jo. She is a senior in college and is tired of living the same way for the past 3 years. She's ready for something different. So when she gets the opportunity to dorm with three guys. She figures this might be the thing she's been looking for. But when she finally moves in with the guys, it not what she expected. Especially when her new roommate Rob and her don't get along and it seems like he's doing everything to get rid of her. Jo no longer thinks this was a good idea, but she has no other choice but to one up Rob, and her other roommates.
This story explores the ups and downs of college. From discovering who your true friends are, to figuring out what your future can possibly be. College is about exploring yourself and knowing that not everything is as it seems and you have to put all your heart into something if you really want it. Work hard for what you want!
Overall, I enjoyed this books. Loved the humor and banters between the roommates. It was realistic to some degree on how college life is, and had great message. I really enjoyed the different points of views, but at time I didn't know which character I was reading. Great arc for all 5 characters, but wish some more was explored on their future. My favorite thing was the short "rule" or "guide" from Jo's books. It worked perfectly for every chapter.
I would read this book again!

I loved the fact that the author did not feel the need to make this a college romance which I was expecting in the start and the way the four diverse POVS of the characters progressed - their voices, thoughts and dilemmas were different making them seem like the portions were written by four different authors instead of one which is an almost impossible thing to achieve. Kudos for this and the humorous parts in the novel!

However, the writing was too simplistic and somewhat boring as well as the story could've progressed in a way better direction making it a memorable read for me instead of an okay or so-so read. All in all, it wasn't bad or something I wouldn't dare pick again but it could've been much better and the fact that it wasn't saddens me.

I'm sorry, but I really didn't like reading this book. I think when I requested it, thought that it would be like New Girl, only in college. I didn't realize that things would be really crude, to the point where I didn't want to read any of the guys' POVs. I'll admit that Jo's perspective made things better at times, but I don't think I could go through reading those misogynistic views again, especially after reading Toward a Secret Sky... I couldn't get past a couple of pages without cringing inwardly (when it wasn't Jo's POV).

I wanted so much from this story - there's something about the scenario of a female thrown into a world of male characters, that intrigues me, but it also makes me expect certain things, and those things were not provided by Last Semester. I did obtain this book from Netgalley, so I can overlook the numerous glaring editing errors, with an assumption that the author will have the book properly edited before releasing it to the world in general. But for me there were issues with the story too. It almost felt as if it wasn't really sure what it was meant to be. I should warn prospective readers that any romance in the story was indirect, which I found to be both brave and foolhardy. I think it was more of a story about friendship, and it succeeded at that, but the way it went about it was meandering and strange. The way the chapters are divided between characters, normally something that I like, I found distracting in this case. All in all, I probably expected too much, and was left feeling vaguely disappointed.

When I started reading Last Semester, I was expecting it to be a lot like other books I've read where a girl or guy moves in with roommates of the opposite sex and falls for one of them. That wasn't the story line for Last Semester. Last Semester wasn't a romance, but a mature coming of age story.

In Last Semester, Jo decides she's ready to make some big changes in her life for her last semester in college. Her first big change is moving out of the dorms. She rents a room in a house close to campus where her new roommates are three guys. The first guy, A.J., is a rich, womanizing manwhore. The second, Rob, is a major prick who proposed to the girlfriend he keeps cheating one. The final roommate is Drew. Drew talks like Sheldon Cooper and has kept his virginity in tact almost as long. Jo thinks she's prepared to live with three guys, but she had no idea how challenging it would be -- especially when her boyfriend Chris isn't exactly excited about the arrangement. The longer Jo and the boys live together, the more they begin to learn from each other. Each roommate is graduating at the end of the semester, and each has something big to discover before then.

Like I said, this book wasn't a romance novel. It was a story about four young adults finding their way into adulthood. Each character had a romantic or sexual relationship going on in the story, but those relationships weren't the main focus. The main focus was on the four roommates' relationships with each other and the things they discovered about themselves as they prepared for adulthood. I have to admit that I would have loved for Jo to have fallen for one of her roommates, but I respected that she didn't. It made Last Semester stand out from other new adult novels. It was truly about the connections they made and the friendships they developed.

I really enjoyed the way Last Semester was told. It was written in first person and each of the four roommates narrated. Each voice was distinctive and had so much character. I loved Jo, A.J., Rob and Drew so much! There were also blog posts written by Jo sprinkled throughout the book. I understood their value to Jo's prospective career as a writer, but there was only one or two entries that stood out to me. They were just an added extra to me.

My favorite thing about this book had to be the hilarious antics that took place. There were so many great moments that had me laughing out loud. Let's just say there were several times I was happy I wasn't a roommate at "Menstrual Mansion". I'm not sure I could have handled everything that went down in that house. It sure made for an entertaining story.

The only big issue I had with Last Semester was the ending. To be more specific, the very end. It felt abrupt. I turned the page and couldn't believe there wasn't more. The author left the reader hanging when she could have resolved an important part of the story line. It made me wonder if there would be a sequel, but a sequel would be odd since all the characters are moving on separately with their lives after college.

If you're looking for a new adult novel that's not all about romance, Last Semester would be the one to read. It was fun, fresh and contained a ton of character growth.

This was an interesting look at college life through the eyes of four roommates--three male and one female--as they navigate the typical pitfalls and triumphs of school, parties, relationships, families, drinking, sex, and pranks. Each has his or her own "hang-ups" but they realize in order to get along they must be willing to "walk in someone else's shoes," I didn't initially care much for the characters, but by the end they appeared to be human and flawed as we all are. It certainly did not make me want to revisit the college experience!

Interesting tale of four college students trying to survive their last semester of college. It is hard to really like any of the characters in the beginning of the book. All four have annoying qualities that make it difficult to sympathize with their different plights. Thankfully they do grow on the reader and start to redeem themselves by the end.
