Rezension von AnnaThis book is just a little over 300 pages long, which in my opinion is quite short, and to be honest, I wasn’t sure if that’s enough to make me root for Jessie and Drew and to make their story believable. However, I was proven very wrong. Sarah did her thing and made it work! Loved Jessie and Drew’s chemistry and banter. Jessie tends to have a more extroverted and dramatic side which complemented Drew’s introverted personality really nicely. But I think the best part was their shared sense of humour! Those two just made sense and I don’t think there’s anything remotely better than finding common ground when it comes to humour. As this is the revised edition, I cannot comment on what the changes are compared to the previously released edition and if said changes are good or bad. I did, however, enjoyed the bonus epilogue very much. It was super cute and gave a nice little glimpse into Jessie and Drew’s future. Admittedly, I can see where people might have issues with this book. Which I think would mainly be with Jessie and some of her behaviour and especially one of the pranks ( if you read the book, you will know which one). I'm still not quite sure why she felt the need to actually to go through with it. ‘The Temporary Roomie’ is the second book in the ‘It Happened in Nashville’ series, but can be read perfectly fine as a standalone. I haven’t read book one in this series, ‘The Off Limits Rule’, but will make sure to catch up on that. Thank you to Headline Eternal for providing this book for review via NetGalley. All opinions are my own.
