By Jen Silverman

We quickly learn that Robyn, as seen by Sharon, is everything she wishes she could be, living in a land of “yes” and “why not,” when all Sharon has been taught is a world full of “no:” “Everyone always told me not to do things!” The Roommate, is both funny and deeply moving, as two very different middle-aged women navigate the complexities of identity, morality, and the dream of reinvention.
