Wanted female roommate to take over lease. Non-smoker. No boys allowed.
When Alyssa’s roommate leaves her in a lurch, she’s desperate to find someone, anyone, to move in with her. Rent is coming due and she can’t afford to pay it by herself. There’s only one rule no boyfriends allowed. Her religious family would throw a fit if they knew she was living in a house with boys.
Needed new place ASAP. Female preferred.
Hannah doesn’t have a boyfriend. But her cheating ex-girlfriend has made her housing situation untenable. With her career as a musician about to take off, she can’t afford a distraction. A tip from an old friend leads Hannah to Alyssa and a roommate match made in heaven is born.
Filled one girl next door plus one singer equals domestic bliss?
Alyssa thinks Hannah is really cute. Which wouldn’t be a problem if she were into women. Hannah has no interest in dating a straight girl. But when sparks fly, neither young woman can say no to the chemistry between them.
Despite their passion, Alyssa’s worried about the reaction from her conservative family. Even worse, Hannah’s career may take her out of state for good, stopping their relationship before it even begins. They will need to face their problems together or be torn apart.
Can Alyssa overcome who she thinks she is in order to be with the woman she loves? Can Hannah learn to trust again after a failed relationship?
Or will they both be putting up housing wanted ads before their lease is up?
The Housing Crisis New Adult Lesbian Romance edition by Kate McLay Literature Fiction eBooks
Alyssa’s roommate ditched on her with no warning, leaving her desperate for a replacement before rent comes due. It has to be another girl, or her super Catholic mom would flip. Hannah just caught her girlfriend cheating on her, so that living arrangement doesn’t work anymore. Good thing a former co-worker told her about the roommate she just ditched on. New roommate is super cute. But Alyssa is straight, totally, maybe, and Hannah doesn’t want to go there again. Will they wind up together anyway or will both wind up looking for someone new?The Housing Crisis by Kate McLay is very much a book that I wish was longer. The story is super cute. The characters are enjoyable. It makes me want more.
Which is actually a really good place to start. One of my only issues with the book is a side effect of it being as short as it is. The relationship is really sweet, but I would have loved to see it developed more. We’re more told that Hannah and Alyssa are increasingly attracted to each other, than allowed to see it develop. As always, I want the build, I want to see the relationship grow from friends to girlfriends. In the same vein, I would like to have seen more of Alyssa realizing that she’s totally into her roommate and not as straight as she thought. More of them dealing with Alyssa playing it straight in public and how that affects Hannah. More of Hannah wanting to fall for Alyssa but being held back by last time. I want to see the character struggles that lead to the triumphant ending.
This is my single big complaint about the book, it’s so short that the ideas behind the story don’t get expanded much if at all. We go from Alyssa being so straight arrows are jealous to being told that she’s been struggling with dealing with her attraction to Hannah for weeks and, never mind struggling, going for it. It goes similarly for Hannah, we’re told that she doesn’t want to fall for another straight girl because the last one broke her heart, but we don’t see her worrying much about it past them hooking up. We see a fair amount of Alyssa’s boss, Martha, but I feel like there should have been more with her. Like she could have been much more developed and contributed a lot more to the story.
So that’s my issue with the book. What else was there to it that I wanted it more developed because of? Friends, this book was adorable and sweet and just a bite of cuteness. I have been trained by pop culture and other novels not to accept when a book aimed at adults is being sweet and fluffy and this was a really nice break from that. I didn’t find a character in the book proper that I disliked. The few scenes that were uncomfortable were meant to be. Most of the bits that we iffy were things that expanding on character and situations could have handled easily.
It was a book that just made me happy, which isn’t a thing I’ve had a lot of lately. It was fun for the sake of itself, a happy little romance story that chooses to be positive. For all that I spent two paragraphs talking about it needing to be expanded on, I keep bringing this up because I want more stories like this. I want more of this story, like a follow up of Alyssa and Hannah and what happens after the end of this one.
So, yeah, this gets a five out of five. I would read Kate McLay again and very much hope that she has a successful career writing.

The Housing Crisis New Adult Lesbian Romance edition by Kate McLay Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
A very cute romance. Shorter than I would have preferred, some more development would have been nice. Some nice plot surprises.
A few grammatical errors but otherwise decently written. Characters are likeable and storyline is a sweet, easy read without much angst, which is what we all need at times)
I was very pleased with this book. Normally I don't go for the short books because it generally takes a longer book to develop the plot and characters enough for the reader to be fully engaged, but the author pulled it off quiet well with this short. The characters were likable and the plot wasn't unrealistic. I also liked the little twist at the end. All in all would definitely recommend if you're looking for a cute love story to wet your pallet for a couple hours.
Great read. I enjoyed the characters very much and I would like to hear more about their lives (like a book 2 maybe) ). This authors writing style is smooth and flowed well throughout the book. I look forward to reading more from her
Well written with interesting plot development. Cute main characters. Looking for much more from this author in future! Well done!
This was a very good coming out little romance story. The connection Alyssa and Hannah felt was instantaneous and their dreams seemed to be shared. It was nice for a change to not be caught up in the drama of straight girls going back and forth in the relationship, one day they're all in then they panic and run off, it's just frustrating. Though Alyssa wasn't quite certain of her feelings at first, she stuck to it and let it flourish. Very nice.
This story is difficult to grade as it is quite short, but I liked it. It is simple, has a HEA and one surprise I didn't see coming, but I liked it.
Do I feel like I know Alyssa or Hannah? Maybe in the most basic way but nothing depth. It was a sweet story and maybe I needed sweet today after reading after some of my latest books which seemed heavy and were, perhaps, out of my comfort zone.
A religious girl, influenced by her 'rents Catholicism in Idaho, with an exciting position in Chicago with an up and coming business needs a roommate fast, and our Hannah is introduced by a mutual friend, and boomps, they're roomies. Alyssa is yet another individual in fiction land who never really seemed to date, in high school or college, never thought about girls in a romantic way, has her dreams invaded by this new roomie who is someone burned emotionally and recently by her lover who turns out to be bi, or worse.
*** spoilerish ***
I enjoyed that there was not a big issue about coming out, PDA's not allowed and all that. That all becomes so tedious with the back and forth and then ultimatums. Alyssa makes her decision and doesn't look back. Hannah is worried about dating the straight girl, but doesn't hold back. I wish the emotions expressed had been stronger, and the characters described more fully, but... maybe with another 50 pages.
