This was a really sweet read that sweeps you up and treats you to the a wonderful romance and plenty of queer representation, in which I absolutely adored. A fun read if you're looking for something to lighten the mood and would definitely recommend to all.

This book follows the story of Evelyn, Seth, Jaspar and Noelle as they tread the waters of being a student at an English boarding school and discover themselves and form new relationships. I liked that we are increasingly seeing stories like this one being put into the spot light.
While i liked the overall story i would love it if it flowed better. I would have preferred that the starting part of Evelyn and Noelle's relationship to be fleshed out a little more.
There was a shift in the tone of the book by the end and im not sure if it fit into the structure of the book.

I would recommend this book to someone who is looking to have a good time.

3.5 stars

Wow, this book was really cute! I really enjoyed the romance between Evelyn and Noelle, as well as the romance between Seth and Jasper. Just because I'm trash for slow-burn romances, I would have preferred the romance between Evelyn and Noelle to have been a little more, well, slow-burn, instead of almost instantly friends-to-lovers. Okay, that was an exaggeration. It wasn't almost instantly, but it was relatively quickly when compared to other relationships in other books!

The queer representation in Never Kiss Your Roommate was EVERYTHING. I also really loved the author's emphasis on consent throughout the book.

Even though I had read the content and/or trigger warnings before reading the book, it still surprised me when the kidnapping, violent, and bloody scenes happened. At first thought, I found it a bit unusual that the author would introduce a mystery / thriller / action aspect into a contemporary romance book. After more thought, I could see why, but I'm still not the biggest fan of it. I think it might have been better if the plot was gradually leading up to it, instead of the kidnapping being so sudden to the readers.

Overall, it was a fun and adorable and fast read that I would recommend!

This was a quick, indulgent read that I got totally swept up in. The romance between Noelle and Evelyn is just the loveliest, and the last 1/4 of the book took some unexpected turns, but I enjoyed them! I didn't know it was dual POV going into it, and Evelyn's POV was given more weight and was stronger. I would have loved to see a bit more of Seth's side of things. But it made me want to attend Seven Hills and hang out with this fab group of people!

I feel like this author is still finding her voice. This book has good bones I believe, but the descriptions are clinical almost, and the dialogue a little flat. I think if she could let her personality shine through, it could really be great. As it is, I found myself skimming, or reading entire sections without fully paying attention and having to re-read because I wasn’t engaged with the story. Thus, it was a DNF for me. It has potential but I don’t think it’s quite there yet.

Thank you NetGalley, author, and publisher for the arc in exchange for an honest review.

Wattpad books has been killing it lately! I loved the premise of this book and the characters Evelyn and Noelle. The pacing works, the characters are so relatable and lovely, The plot, while at times was a bit confusing, was full of drama and some intrigue and it made it a super fast read.

This is the perfect example to say that I like the route Wattpad Books is taking. Between this and Revenge of The Sluts, I like being surprised by them. They're not exactly the books you'd expect from Wattpad, they open horizons. And I love that. So much. Give me all the queer characters finding themselves and finding themselves in love. Thank you very much.

One aspect I liked about this book and story was that the romance was very cute. I loved Evelyn and Noelle, their scenes together were the highlight of the book. Still, I would've liked for the beginning aspect of their romance to be more developed, to let the tension between them rise a bit more. I'm not sure if it makes sense but what I mean is that the shift in dynamic between them moved a bit quick for my liking. Nonetheless, I loved them and they will surely get the readers emotionally invested. You could say this about all of the characters as well! They're very lovable and definitely carry this story.

Moreover, apart from most of the characters being easily likable, the book's pacing would work perfectly for any reader. Anyone could eat up this story in the matter of hours, it's that engaging.

However, I had some issues with how the plot was structured. I feel like the third act of the novels was sort of a whole different book. Yes, the plotlines were connected (the chain reaction sequence of events is even wonderfully explained on page) and everything made sense, but tone-wise, it didn't belong there. One minute, it was a cute YA romance book with drama. Suddenly it's a thrilling action-packed chase. I don't want to spoil anything so I can't exactly point to the thing I'm talking about, but it felt sort of out of disjointed from the rest of the book. Although, I have to admit, it's enjoyable for sure.

In conclusion, all in all, I'm glad this exists and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good time. I just wish the execution was a bit better. If I had to rate it, it would be 3 stars.

(this review will go up on my blog the 17th of March, and on my bookstagram account on the 15th)

I just could not get into this book. From the very first start, it was not my cup of tea. By that, I mean that the writing style was not what I look forward to.

Thank you Netgalley for providing this arc for me.

This was a delightfully fluffy and cute sapphic novel set in an English boarding school that's a castle. It also features a very prominent mlm romance side by side with our main sapphire couple. There's also a mystery subplot sprinkled within it about a mystery web blogger who exposes the students' secret and something sinister lurking from the love interest's past.

I just have to say how much I love the relationships and friendships in this novel. Evelyn and Seth's friendship is so wholesome, supportive and natural that it became one of my favorite parts of the novel. The theme of a queer found fami friend group that Evelyn, Noelle, Jasper and Seth made up also warms my heart. I related to and liked every one of the characters. They all have their own struggles due to their individual pasts but how they stick together and support for one another is just so sweet and warm to read about.

The ending was surprisingly making my heart pump. The mystery aspect is a good touch and I didn't expect the climax to be so tension filled and action pact. Such a good surprise.

Evelyn and Noelle is honestly sapphic relationship goals. I was in a book slump where I just needed to read something cutesy, feel-good and sapphic, which this book delivered and more! Thank you author for this sweet journey that made my heart swell

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.
