Bookroo's summary

Henry, a peace-loving hamster, has endured Marvin's chatter for 205 days. Marvin, the talkative roommate, fills every moment with noise, driving Henry to his breaking point. When Henry finally snaps, he gets the silence he craved, but at what cost? Now, both must navigate their differences and find a way to coexist. Can they bridge the gap between introversion and extroversion, or will their cage become a battleground? Discover the hilarity and heart in this tale of unlikely friendship and the art of compromise.

From the publisher

Two hamster roommates with wildly different personalities crammed in one cage–what could go wrong in this hilarious story about introverts versus extroverts? It’s been two hundred and five days since Henry has had peace. That’s because it’s been two hundred and five days since Marvin has come to live with him. Marvin, who loves to talk in the tunnels, talk while they’re eating, talk while they’re running. Marvin, who drives Henry up the cage walls. But when Henry finally loses his cool and gets exactly what he wanted, both hamsters have to figure out a way to live together and work through their communication mishaps.
