This is a story about college freshmen that are roommates and have become best friends (maybe more than that from the narrator’s perspective). June, one of the roommates, has just told our narrator that she is leaving the school. They have a heart to heart moment and realize that this is likely going to be the last time they live together and see each other, as they are going to be living separate lives. I like that the story wasn’t overly dramatic. It isn’t over the top and is actually pretty relatable. Not only is it believable, but it is written in a somewhat romantic manner in the sense that I am invested in the characters and can feel their turmoil. I don’t have many questions other than is there anything romantic between them? The way that it’s written gives off the vibe that there might be. The only suggestion that I have might be to know more about the narrator. We know that she is a quiet listener, but her personality doesn’t really come through all that much in her voice.
