The Roommate Experiment
Could there be room for attraction?
Hunter has secretly been in love with her best friend’s brother Dylan for years, despite barely registering as a blip on his radar. She’s not even in the friend zone—more like friend zone adjacent. But her luck is about to change: Dylan is taking over her spare room, and she's being promoted to roommate. Could this be the moment Dylan finally notices her?
Not so fast. When Dylan moves in, he carries more than just boxes—he brings complications. Suddenly, the dream of living under the same roof turns into a daily struggle. Dylan is off-limits, for reasons Hunter couldn’t have anticipated, and the closer they get, the harder it becomes to ignore her feelings.
But Hunter’s determined to keep her heart in check—no matter how difficult the task. She just has to avoid ogling him in a towel. Definitely don’t imagine what’s under the towel. And try not to swoon when he bakes cookies.
But after he saves her from a terrible date and they’re forced to share a sofa bed at his parents’ house, her emotions reach a breaking point. She’ll have to either move on or move out. Will she tell him the truth—or lose him forever?
The Roommate Experiment is a roommates-to-lovers, forced proximity, STEMinist rom-com perfect for fans of Lynn Painter, Sarah Adams, and Abby Jimenez.

My Review:
The Roommate Experiment is the third book in the Funny Feelings series. Since Hunter's friends Rowena and Nina are working on their happily-ever-afters, that leaves Hunter as the sole occupant of her 3-bedroom apartment. Dylan, Nina's brother, unexpectedly offers to move in and pay rent for both unoccupied rooms.
Moving day is upon them in the opener of The Roommate Experiment and Hunter can't believe her long-time crush is just down the hall. She's elated, nervous, and anxious all at the same time, but comes crashing back down to earth when Dylan becomes off-limits. Living together platonically becomes harder each day as Hunter tries to hide her feelings and Dylan tries to figure out his.
The only real issue I had with the book was how slow Dylan was in recognizing, and acting on, his feelings. The length of time Dylan spent with his girlfriend, Olivia (who was not a favorite of mine) diminished the romance we could have seen with Hunter instead. Many scenes clearly pointed to Dylan having feelings for Hunter but he had a hard time letting go of Olivia.
