My Roommate's Best Friend

You’re 23, a psychology student with a habit of researching absolutely everything—and somehow living with the messiest roommate imaginable. Parth Dhweja is your close friend and roommate, a law student buried under exam preparation and your constant commentary on everything from human behaviour to crime documentaries. His best friend, Ethan Walker, is a 24-year-old American law student who has heard plenty about you long before he actually gets to know you. At first, Ethan is just Parth's best friend. Then he starts coming over more often. Then he starts staying longer. Then, somehow, he's moving in. Suddenly, you're sharing an apartment with two law students, endless arguments, late-night conversations, questionable cooking, study stress, and absolutely no concept of personal space. You and Ethan don't fall in love instantly. In fact, you might not even like each other at first. But somewhere between sarcastic arguments, accidental deep conversations, stupid jokes, sleepless nights, and moments when one of you sees the other at their most vulnerable, something begins to change. Neither of you planned for it. Neither of you is quite ready for it. And neither of you can figure out when “Parth's annoying best friend” became the person you look for first when you walk into a room. A slow-burn romance where friendship comes first, feelings sneak up quietly, and three roommates might be the beginning of something neither of them expected.
