Micah
I’m a broke ex-football player with a bum leg and PTSD. Last summer, I had two choices: the streets, or find a cheap room to rent in the city. I chose the second option, which landed me with a brand-new problem, cos I hadn’t banked on my roommate becoming my best friend. Or that before long I’d find myself head over heels in love with him. Trouble is, even if Sam likes me back, I ain’t fit to be no one’s boyfriend. I don’t know how. All I do is wade through every precious moment and hope that he doesn’t regret the day he ever met me.
Sam
I’m a gay book nerd with no business falling in love with hunky athletes. Micah is the dictionary definition of beautiful, inside and out, he just doesn’t know it. And he definitely doesn’t know I’m ridiculously in love with him. The embarrassing kind of love.
He’s all I can think about.
But it’s not as simple as loving someone who doesn’t love me back. Micah is damaged goods—at least, that’s how he’d put it. The world has chewed him up and spat him out, and he thinks he deserved it. That he’s still the battered mess he was a year ago.
I want to shake him, and shout in his face that he’s not. To force the truth on him and make him believe in himself the way I do. But I can’t save Micah. One day, perhaps he’ll realise that he already saved himself.
Garrett's debut novel, Slide, won Best Bisexual Debut at the 2014 Rainbow Book Awards, and her polyamorous novel, Misfits was a finalist in the 2016 LAMBDA awards.
When not writing, Garrett can generally be found procrastinating on Twitter, cooking up a storm, or sitting on her behind doing as little as possible, all the while shouting at her menagerie of children and animals and attempting to tame her unruly and wonderful FOX.
Garrett is also an award winning cover artist, taking the silver medal at the Benjamin Franklin Book Awards in 2016. She designs for various publishing houses and independent authors at blackjazzdesign.com, and co-owns the specialist stock site moonstockphotography.com with renowned LGBTQA+ photographer Dan Burgess.

Falling for My Roommate
by Garrett Leigh was an angst filled tale of two very different men who found
each other at a low point and build a lasting relationship based on a friendship
of love and understanding.
I adored both Sam and Micah. Ms. Leigh, one of
my favorite authors, has a way of creating flawed and realistic characters that
draw you in- suck the marrow from the bone- and deliver a transfusion of sensuality
and awareness.
Depth of imperfection
radiated throughout, with credible storyline and even more so, credible characters.
Characters whose survival of the soul depended on each other and modern medicine-
where mental distress could be overwhelming and not made light of. All problems
are not fixed in a novel when the words The End are written, but
continue to develop throughout with the knowledge that even when you finish the
book, the characters evolution will continue, and transform them into something
that only your imagination can conjure.
Ms. Leigh
is a masterful artist and has honed her craft to the fullest. A story worthy of a read.
