A review by katiedermody
The Roommate by Rosie Danan
Josh is a sex worker in the adult entertainment industry and moves into a house for the summer while the occupant is away on your. The occupant is the man Clara's known forever and is in love with, and was supposed to be arriving to live with until she found out he was gone. She and Josh enjoy each other's company, he helps her explore her own pleasure, and they start a more ethical porn company along with his ex and frequent costar. They face some issues like family, his current agent and company, public opinion, etc. while falling in love. This was a reread I'd been thinking of doing for a bit after my sister read it and I realized how little I remembered. Then my book club chose it and I was able to get a copy of the audio, which was a new way to read it for me. Teddy Hamilton narrating as Josh is excellent, as always. I enjoyed it! I remember thinking it was super spicy the first time; it does have a decent amount and I appreciate how sex positive it is, but it's definitely not the raciest I've read anymore. I enjoy this author's writing and it stood up well to a reread. I wouldn't be surprised if I read it again someday. will be listening to book two now to reread it as well.
