Room for Improvement: The Post-College Girl's Guide to Roommate Living

by Amy Zalneraitis

If you've ever lived with a roommate, you're all too familiar with the dark side of splitting your favorite lipstick mysteriously gone missing, dishes left "soaking" in the sink for a week, and far-too-intimate noises coming from the adjacent bedroom as you desperately try to sleep.
But roommate resentment doesn't have to become a pattern. A comprehensive and sassy guide to roommate living for post-college women, Room for Improvement explains how a little cooperation can lead to smoother cohabitation. Harnessing her own and others' experiences, Amy Zalneraitis delivers essential roommate dos and don'ts, hilarious (and often horrifying) anecdotes, and invaluable tips from experts, and covers such sanity-saving topics
...and much, much more. Candid and laugh-out-loud funny, Room for Improvement will help you iron out existing roommate problems, prevent future ones, and, just as important, spot and address bad roommate behavior in yourself.

I picked this up just to make sure I'm following all the rules to roommate living (and so far I am ). The guide was kind of funny, pretty basic, and not that exciting. A couple chapters reminded me of the last living situation with two jerky girls, so it wasn't exactly that pleasant to read, haha. Straight-foward stuff, with a likeable enough narration.

I expected something else when I read the description of this book. The book is a collection of anecdotes rather than the "comprehensive and sassy guide" it promised to be. While it is an entertaining read I do not recommend it as an actual guide.

I received the book through the goodreads giveaway.
