Synopsis

The countdown to college has begun.

When Elizabeth receives her freshman-year roommate assignment at the beginning of summer, she shoots off an email to coordinate the basics: TV, microwave, mini-fridge. She can’t wait to escape her New Jersey beach town, and her mom, and start life over in California.
The first note to Lauren in San Francisco comes as a surprise; she had requested a single. But if Lauren’s learned anything from being the oldest of six, it’s that you can’t always get what you want, especially when what you want is privacy.
Soon the girls are emailing back and forth, sharing secrets even though they’ve never met. With family relationships and childhood friendships strained by change, it suddenly seems that the only people Elizabeth and Lauren can rely on are the complicated new boys in their lives…and each other.

What is your Roomie story?!

I was lucky to have great roommates all through college!  Two of them were my Alpha Xi Delta sisters and one was a friend from elementary school that I reconnected with at college.  We had many great times sharing stories and creating a fun door room (one year it was bunkbeds using the desks!).  Two years was in an apartment with a cat names Spaz who fit the description to a T.  Although I remember the one time that I was locked out of the apartment because my roommate’s boyfriend put the chain on the door.  They didn’t hear me banging on it, yelling through the crack or throwing things at their window.  I don’t remember what it took but I FINALLY got in!  Even when I bought my first house I had an Alpha Xi Delta sister as a roommate until she purchased her first house.  I wish I had crazier stories with my own roommates but I don’t, but it was still a great time.

    The only room mate I’ve ever had was my sister. We shared a room for 15 years! It had its pros and cons, but it kept us close 🙂 We’re only 3 years apart, so we could talk about a lot of things. Thanks for this!
