When Steph and Rae meet, their very different personalities collide. They couldn`t be more different. The only thing they share is the need for affordable housing. Rae is skeptical when Steph has the idea of a possible roommate arrangement. Reluctantly, Rae decides to join the charade as long as Steph keeps her distance. Since leaving the police force, Rae has built a life for himself, without emotional involvement. This works for Steph, as she fills her downtime with casual and frequent evening stands. Comedian Stephanie Renshaw is approaching her 30th birthday, and she still hasn`t made it. The life of a comic book in Los Angeles is not easy. She`s been here for ten years, and she thought that if she hadn`t taken her big break at the age of thirty, it would be time to give in to family pressure and find a “real job.” After spending a year on the street and playing gigs in tonk bowling alleys and bars, where the payment was often free beer and chicken wings, she went home to give LA another chance. Living in Los Angeles is expensive, but she gets a line on a rented-controlled apartment near the comedy clubs for which the city is famous.

The problem – the owner only rents to couples. Steph intrepidly decides that the natural solution is to find a roommate who can pose as a friend or friend. Gabe sighed. The story of my life. Between Yolanda and our two roommates, this was the last time I had the right to use the bathroom without anyone knocking on the door and following me… Well, never. I`d love that. But first, I have to find a roommate who claims to be the love of my life,” Steph says with a smile.

Long story. I`ll explain the details later. Basically, I have a chance in an apartment just around the corner, but without a roommate in senes, I can`t afford it. Comedian Stephanie Renshaw is hoping to finally make her big breakthrough in L.A. A chance encounter causes her to land the perfect apartment near the comedy clubs, but it comes with a catch: she needs a roommate to pay the rent. Steph tried not to mix his feet under Rae`s gaze. “Well, the rent is above two big ones, so I`m looking for a roommate.” The owner does not rent to singles, Marissa said. I`m sure there`s a story, but I never knew what it was.

All I know is that they don`t want individual situations or roommates. Steph is a carefree soul, flying, sitting in his pants. Fortunately Jae is talented enough to write a comedian who, indeed, is funny. Steph`s humour is not only how she earns a living, it is one of her intervention mechanisms to prevent her from hurting herself or feeling the disappointment of her family. She also uses her joke to keep Rae on arm`s length when she realizes she might really love her thorny roommate. From the beginning, I felt that Steph`s character had much more than the eye. It certainly is, and always seeing the authentic woman behind the jokes was very satisfying. Steph cut his lips. The way Rae had said this, as if it were a totally foreign concept to her, was almost cute. “That`s usually what a roommate arrangement entails.” I loved the way Jae slowly conceived her relationship between reluctant acquaintances who shared a con fauxmance as roommates with friends, when the two maneuvered their way to each other and struggled with different mechanisms of life, behavior and adaptation. Steph always used humour as his way of avoiding emotional ties and the defense mechanism, while Rae used her broodiness and lack of communication to protect her once broken heart and trauma. Steph grew up in a family of established professionals (parents and sister Claire were therapists), where she was the black sheep because she went upside down.

His love for stand-up comedy had earned him the title of rebel in the family. It is interesting to note that while Steph was described as a person who did not believe in relationships, rather preferred to have casual slip-ups, there was a reason to see the world about it (you have to read the book to find out
