The Perfect Roommate by Minka Kent Book Review


 

Meadow is the kind of college student you don’t notice; she is just that average. Really not memorable at all. And she likes it that way. She finds herself in need of a new place to live and stumbles across an ad for a room to rent. She goes and meets Lauren and hopes she hides her social anxiety well enough to be likable, to be a perfect roommate. For whatever reason, Lauren decides she lives Meadow and lets her move in immediately, like right now immediately. Meadow cannot believe her luck! Through Lauren, Meadow meets Tessa. She meets Thayer (Lauren’s boyfriend). She meets Eli (Tessa’s love interest). She starts to discover that she could possibly have friends … this is, of course, due to Lauren’s involvement in giving her some of her “toss-away” clothes, a new hairstyle, makeup, introducing her to people she wouldn’t normally meet or associate with on her own. Meadow thinks her life is turning around for the better, until she discovers something that Lauren is doing that really sets her on edge. Enter Meadow’s job as a cleaning company which puts her smack dab in the middle of cleaning one of her professor’s homes and becoming a friend to his wife, Elisabeth. Little does she know how things will transpire after she finds out Lauren’s dirty little secret, the tragic accident that happens while she is trying to figure out how to stop Lauren, and who the guilty party really is.

Ms. Kent is fast becoming one of my go-to authors to read. For me, her stories pretty much “hit the mark” in what I look for in a “thriller.” Messed-up relationships, love gone wrong, a guilty party you don’t expect, forgiveness in a family. She combines them all. I highly recommend you give her books a try if you haven’t. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. I am definitely looking forward to Ms. Kent’s next book. I hope you are, too!
