This book was heart-flutteringly, teeth-clenchingly sweet. Love letters? Roommates? This was the best twist of a classic trope. The romance wasn’t just cute; it was realistic and raw and so perfectly second-chance. I don’t typically love second-chance romances, but I am OBSESSED with childhood best friend romances, and Page DELIVERED. I’m so in love with Charlie and Jasper and Blaze and Xavier and everyone else. Jasper was so intensely Jasper. He is exactly what you think of when you hear his name: an elegant poet. But the way he and Charlie clicked— someone save me. The bookshelf that he engraved with both of their names??? Like a wedding invite??? I need to read this book again and again. And Blaze was such a perfect genius 12-year-old. He’s such a cute character. Don’t even get me started on Charlie. Charlie was perfect in all the right ways. Literally finished in one sitting, And They Were Roommates was SOOOO GOOD.
