Does anyone remember a book series aimed at teens called Roommates? The books were written by Susan Blake and Alison Blair, and it had the tagline, "College life the way it really is." I believe there were twenty books in this series but I only read perhaps two or three, with the first one I read called Final Exams. I enjoyed these books and wish I'd read more but I'm guessing this series wasn't very popular in the UK which is why it wasn't so easy to come across them.
This series dealt with some pretty heavy topics: eating disorders, contraception, depression, suicide... and that's just from the books I've read so goodness knows what topics the others dealt with! Not really selling college life here! But it really was a good, thought-provoking read.
I remember reading one of the books in the Roommates series but I can't remember which one. I know that I enjoyed it and wouldn't of minded reading more but it wasn't very well known back in Britain, unlike Sweet valley High which was very well read among the kids I went to school with, so getting hold of the books wasn't always easy.
