Win the Best Read of the Semester!

This is a sponsored feature. All opinions are 100% from Her Campus.

Living with another person is never easy, but learning to live with a roommate is part of almost every girl’s college experience. When you receive your freshman year rooming assignment, you never know just what to expect: will your future roomie have an erratic sleep schedule? Will she borrow your clothes without asking permission? Will she hate your music? However, with all its concerns, living with someone new also brings the potential of a lifelong friendship. A roommate can transform from someone you simply share a space with to someone you can share yourself with.

In their new novel, Roomies, Sara Zarr and Tara Altebrando join forces to tell a story about that time after high school when everything feels like it’s ending just as it’s beginning. When Elizabeth receives her freshman year roommate assignment at the beginning of summer, she sends an email to her new roommate, Lauren (who had requested a single), in San Francisco to coordinate the basics. Soon enough, the girls are emailing back and forth and sharing secrets even though they’ve never met in person. With family relationships and childhood friendships strained by change, it suddenly seems that the only people Elizabeth and Lauren can relate to are each other.

You can be one of the first to read Roomies by winning a copy of the novel! Ten winners will receive a free copy of Roomies. You must be older than 13 years old and live in the United States to win.  The winners will be announced in the January 16 STUDY BREAK. This giveaway has ended.

Happy reading, collegiettes!
