Roommates Wanted
Roommates Wanted: A Novel | Lisa Jewell
10 posts | 14 read | 21 to read
1990. Please write and tell me why you should live here. Toby Dobbs received a big Victorian house with too many bedrooms to count as a wedding present from his father, but his marriage is over within a month. Very alone, and very lonely, Toby posts an advertisement seeking the "Unexpectedly Alone" to become his roommates. Fifteen years later the wayward souls he takes in are still living with him, with no intention of leaving. 2004. Please tell me how I can convince you to move out. Toby Dobbs has met Leah Pilgrim from across the road, and they're falling in love. But before they can begin a new life together, Toby and Leah must help Toby's house of sweet slackers and lovelorn misfits grow up, solve their problems, and set themselves free. But can their new relationship survive the test?

I wasn't sure about this book at first, and wondered if I should continue it, but it turned out be a great book...Ruth was very annoying

Leah lives across the street from Toby and his eccentric house where Toby has a lot of misfit tenants. Leah finally meets Toby and somehow with fate, romance and a helping hand, Toby and Leah's relationship show the makings of a dream come true. I love the characters in this book. It was fun to read about them and their quirky ways and see what was in store for them.

EadieB I found it to be a feel-good story laced with Jewell's warmth and humor. I have read many of her books and have enjoyed them all. If you like touching and entertaining books then I am sure you will enjoy this one. 3y

Finished my painting! Just heading to Michael‘s to pick up a canvas to frame it and hang it in the bathroom. Currently listening to the tagged audiobook, and enjoying it so far. Though, I my have to take a bit of a break from Lisa Jewell for a while after this one. I‘ve read way too many of her books in the last month or so. 😜

Book 1 Finished for #AwesomeAugust Readathon

Loved this book, loved spending time with all their characters and how and why they got to where they were. Good to see Toby, the owner of the house, come to life and take control of his life. Some great relationships and a good all-round read. Recommended,

My sister's golden retriever is the snuggliest dog I think I've ever met! She's helping me with just a few more pages before I turn out the light. #dogsoflitsy

British chick lit and pumpkin spice latte on my parents' covered porch in the rain (still pet-sitting). Nice way to spend an afternoon!

kspenmoll Pumpkin spice is back!? May have to make a Starbucks run! ☕️🎃 7y
mcipher @kspenmoll Yes and I've already had two this week! 😝 7y
kspenmoll Don't think it has launched yet here- not in menu but will ask. Heard there was a mess up, & launch dates are not same day everywhere. 😡 (edited) 7y

mcipher @kspenmoll Oh how annoying! Good luck, I hope you get one (and they're not listed on the menu here yet, either, but I saw it in the chalkboard!) 7y
kspenmoll I live equi distant between two Starbucks ( different towns). Found pumpkin spice latte at one this evening; the other had told me will have it tomorrow. Go figure. 🎉🎃☕️ 7y
quietjenn That sounds lovely. 7y
LauraBrook Sounds about perfect! 7y
kspenmoll @quietjenn @LauraBrook No matter what direction I am headed, I can find a pumpkin latte. Fortunately, my job is before I hit Starbucks so I bring coffee to work.otherwise, temptation would be too much & my paycheck would dwindle quickly!!! (edited) 7y
