As Jae slowly revealed her character, I discovered that she had a disability. An ex-copper of the LAPD, Rae now worked the security at one of LA’s big comedy clubs, manning the entrance, the crowds, in and out of the club. Speaking of Rae, the other MC of this story, I was immediately intrigued by her character when Jae first introduced her. And like JFS, TRA is a heartwarming tale of self-discovery, finding love in the most unlikely of places and circumstances, from friends to lovers, a slow-burn romance that will tug at your heart strings especially when you delve into Rae’s story! To me, “Just For Show” and “The Roommate Arrangement” are perfect companion pieces to read because they complement each other. Anyway, Jae’s latest, “The Roommate Arrangement,” can be read as a stand-alone, obviously, but if you’re curious, I’d highly recommend that you read “Just For Show” just so you could have a wider picture of Steph’s character and her family including Jae’s inclusion of Claire and her now-fiancée, Lana, the MCs of “JFS” in this book. In other words, Steph couldn’t be more different than “goody two shoes” Claire. A follow-up to “Just For Show,” only this time, this story featured Stephanie aka Steph, Claire’s sister, who appeared in “JFS,” where Jae briefly introduced her as the family’s “black sheep,” who defied everything expected of her, from her rebellious lifestyle to her profession as a stand-up comedian.
