Roomies

Description

When Elizabeth receives her freshman-year roommate assignment at the beginning of summer, she shoots off an e-mail to coordinate the basics: TV, microwave, mini-fridge. She can't wait to escape her New Jersey beach town and start life over in California. The message comes as a surprise to Lauren in San Francisco; 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 e-mailing back and forth, sharing secrets even though they've never met. With childhood friendships and family relationships 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. Acclaimed authors Sara Zarr and Tara Altebrando join forces for a heartfelt, humorous, and authentic exploration of that time after high school when everything feels like beginning. ISBN:9780316217507
