The Roommate Book: Sharing Lives and Slapping Fives
With optimism and a sense of humor, author/illustrator (and expert roommate) Becky Simpson highlights the advantages of having a roommate and how best to enjoy those shared years of modular furniture, crockpot meals, and binge-watching Netflix.

The Roommate Book is all about celebrating the short season of life that is the time between parental curfews and settling down with a significant other. Designed for the single and proud, and filled with whimsical drawings and quizzes, it is a non-serious look at how to live with a friend (or a total stranger). Nuggets of wisdom are included, but so are comical pie charts, illustrations, and brief essays.

Meet your roommate:  The Random, The BFF, The Bra-less & Lawless, The "I've never actually seen my roommate," The "We get along but we're not really friends," The Enemy, The Frenemy, The Platonic Opposite Sex, or The Faux Partner.  Use the "Should I Live with This Person?" flow chart to help you choose. 

Also includes:  The "Should I eat this without asking?" flow chart, the top 10 reasons it's awesome to have a roommate, the pet peeve awareness illustrated guide, the Eisenhower matrix for chores, the guide to creating nicknames, party and prank ideas, and so much more!

A fun and functional guide perfect for high school graduates going off to college and new adults entering the working world.
