Audiobook Review: The Roommate {Kiersten Modglin}
This is my 2nd Kiersten Modglin book. You can read my thoughts on The Arrangement HERE.
Goodreads Synopsis of The Roommate {Kiersten Modglin}:
He thought his life couldn’t get any worse…
Wesley Gates is down on his luck.
He’s drowning in debt.
His demanding career isn’t letting up.
And, to top it all off, after years of ignoring their failing marriage, his wife has had enough.
Heartbroken and in desperate need of a place to stay while he gives his wife the space she’s asked for, Wes is shocked when he runs into a familiar face from his past. As they catch up, Wes quickly learns his old classmate has an extra room and a non-existent social life. He can’t help feeling grateful to spend time with someone who remembers who he was during their glory days, long before his life fell apart. So, when Elias offers to rent out his spare bedroom, it seems like the answer to all Wes’s problems. Wes takes his old friend up on the offer without hesitation.
Living with someone you barely know is better than living with a stranger… Isn’t it?
But soon, Wes realizes moving in with Elias may have been a mistake.
Between the wild mood swings, strange occurrences, and total disregard for his new roommate’s privacy, Wes begins to wonder if Elias will be his savior or his worst nightmare.
When his wife reveals devastating news that destroys the final bit of shaky ground Wes was standing on, his new roommate may be all he has left.
Maybe that’s what Elias wanted in the first place…
Or maybe it’s all in Wes’s head.
Elias invited him in…
Will Wes ever be able to leave?
My Review of The Roommate {Kiersten Modglin}:
For whatever reason, I historically don’t choose books with male points of view when choosing books or audiobooks. The Roommate is told entirely from a male point of view which did cause me to pause before I chose it, but decided to give it a try anyway. I’m glad I did! Listening to this from a male point of view was interesting and it opened my eyes to choosing more male points of view in the future.
So this book was interesting in the fact that literally NOTHING happened for the first 90% or so. Like…how is that even possible?? And then the last 10% was super weird. I actually enjoyed the 90% where nothing happened more than the 10% where things actually did.
