When I find a half-naked guy standing in my dormitory at my new boarding school, I assume he’s my roommate’s boyfriend.

He introduces himself as Alex and I introduce myself as Lottie.
When he tells me he’s Sasha and was expecting Elliott, I see what happened.
Someone knew I was a girl or he was a guy, and made some glaringly incorrect assumptions about the other one, meaning we were assigned as roommates.

The new dorm mistress tells us we’re stuck with each other, at least for the short-term. What starts out as playful ribbing between my studious self and the ripped jock becomes something a little more friendly as his friends take me in as one of their own. Soon, I’m their ticket to the ways of the female heart. But not my heart.

Because, I mean, no one falls in love just because of a roommate mistake.

For those Keeping Up Appearances and Accidentally Perfect fans, here's a return to that style and vein. Like both, it’s about growing up, finding and accepting yourself, being with people who bring out the best in you, and getting the guy that you might not think you want but that you need and, more importantly, needs you. Hope you enjoy.

Please be aware that this story is set in Australia and therefore uses Australian English spelling and syntax.

Writer. Reader. Perpetual student. Nerd.

I started out writing fantasy. But I like to write anything, honestly. These days, I mainly stick to YA and there's always at least a sprinkling of romance, if not a 'whoops, I dropped the whole packet in'. Almost all my books are set in my home state of South Australia, either in real or fictional places - gotta write what you know - with 'Netherfield Prep' being the only current exception.

Like most writers, I love to read. Although, time for reading at the moment is hard to come by. When I'm not too busy writing or studying, I'm usually reading a number of authors. Some of my favourites are Rick Riordan, Jane Austen, Kate Forsyth, Cecilia Dart-Thornton, Kasie West, John Flanagan, Isobelle Carmody, Christina Benjamin, Emily Rodda, and many more.

I'm an avid fan of Marvel, DC, Doctor Who, Supernatural, Red Dwarf, IT Crowd, and pretty much anything similar. I've recently discovered 'Taskmaster' and it's brilliant. I love watching soccer (go Gunners) and thoroughly look forward to seeing Eurovision every year. Celebrity crushes include Anna Kendrick and Chris Evans, because they are wonderful.

I live in Adelaide (South Australia) with my husband, smol human, and a menagerie of animals – a cat reliving her (sixth) youth, a cowardly Beagle-Cavalier who thinks he’s smaller than he is, two chickens who are terrified of free-ranging, and a turtle with a penchant for sticking her head up her filter pipe.

I have a Master of Arts (Writing) from Swinburne University of Technology and a Master of Arts (Editing and Publishing) from University of Southern Queensland. I'm currently plugging away towards my PhD in Creative Writing, working on a feminist reimagining of the Irish hero Cu Chulainn.

5.0 out of 5 stars I'm not gushing, you are!

I always start these books thinking I'm too good for them. I just pick them for a quick, easy read, and I'm certainly going to roll my eyes the whole time. Buuuuut here I am gushing and loving every second of it.
Lottie is my favorite lady lead. She is realistic, true to herself, and delightfully pessimistic. I was totally enamored with the story and absolutely love that it wasn't dripping with petty drama! Seriously, no mean girl problems, no super big- and kind of dumb- unforgivable lies, and no big traumatic events. It was so refreshing to read just about the interactions and developments of Lottie and her crew. It was sweet and funny and absolutely splendid.

4.0 out of 5 stars Too drawn out

It was cute but the story was too drawn out. That the main storyline thrown on to the backburner. It be came more about a girl making friends with a group of guys than a friends to lovers storyline.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well-adjusted teenagers?
Reviewed in the United States on July 23, 2021
Verified Purchase
This is a work of satirical fiction. Keep that in mind and you'll tolerate it. Perhaps find yourself smiling at the thought of it. Maybe like it enough to invite it to your brother's wedding at the family vineyard. Definitely just as friends, though. Who cares what Babushka says?

Alright. Enough of that. I can't keep it up.

Lottie's father died (some time vaguely in the past) and her widowed mother is said to drink a lot of wine. Alex is, I guess, uncomfortable in the family home, but at least he has his aint (the Headmistress) and his Babushka.

These details are there because some such are always present in a YA romance. The specifics here do not matter.

Why does this work? Because the narrator knows how cheesy it all is, just as well as we readers do, but falls for it anyway. Being familiar with the (many) tropes of the romcom on display here, I enjoyed this quite a bit.

4.0 out of 5 stars Cute and fun YA romance
Reviewed in the United States on June 11, 2021
As far as ya romances, this one definitely was unique. I loved the premise and was excited to see what shenanigan's ensued due to it. I thought the writing was incredibly fun and as an American, I wasn't bothered by the unfamiliar Australian vernacular (it could have something to do with "Bluey" being my 6 yr old's favorite show right now and on 24/7).
Now, as far as the characters, I had a little trouble warming up to Lottie. I get it, she's a teenager, but geez...she really was frosty. Perhaps if we had been given a little more backstory on her, it would have helped understand why she was, the way she was. She seemed wayyyy too "swamp-witch" than normal. However, eventually, she did grow on me and it was fun to watch her and Alex's connection grow.
The secondary characters were a hoot but I thought a lot was left on the table that could have enhanced the story. Like, maybe a little more confrontation from the legacy girls or maybe an actual girlfriend instead of just the boys.
Regardless, it was still a fun read that was hard to put down. I'm actually curious how they all made out their last year at Acacia and wouldn't mind a sequel.
I voluntarily read this book after receiving a free copy.

I thought it might be a silly but possibly interesting story. It turned out to be much more interesting than I expected. Fascinating characters, which is slightly odd because teenagers are hardly ever fascinating, very funny dialogues, very little drama. All in all a very pleasant read. 😊

Loved this read. Love Elizabeth Stephens Writing.
Elliot and sacha, not your typical students, especially when compared to Alex and Lottie, but hey ho, life goes on and a clerical error leaves them as roommates and chaos and laughter ensues.
This was a great read.
