Roomies
Autor Sara Zarr, Tara Altebrandoen Paperback – 15 iun 2015 – vârsta de la 12 ani
The
countdown
to
college
has
begun.
When
Elizabeth
receives
her
freshman-year
roommate
assignment
at
the
beginning
of
summer,
she
shoots
off
an
email
to
coordinate
the
basics:
TV,
microwave,
mini-fridge.
She
can't
wait
to
escape
her
New
Jersey
beach
town,
and
her
mom,
and
start
life
over
in
California.
That
first
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.
With
humor
and
heart,
Sara
Zarr,
National
Book
Award
finalist
forStory
of
a
Girl,
and
Tara
Altebrando,
acclaimed
author
ofThe
Pursuit
of
Happiness,
join
forces
for
a
novel
about
that
time
after
high
school
when
everything
feels
like
it's
ending
just
as
it's
beginning.
