I appreciate how tightly plotted this story is—the story isn't rushed, and there are several smaller, subtler story lines that are just as fleshed out as the main narrative. I think the only element I wish was more fleshed out is Leon's relationship with Kay. It seemed like O'Leary was implying that their relationship, if not as abusive as Tiffy and Justin's, was at least problematic and a bit toxic towards the end. It would've been nice to see that discussed a bit more, especially as a means of Tiffy and Leon bonding over shared experiences.
The Flatshare is filled with poignant insights, laugh-out-loud humor, and the kind of happy ending that feels grounded in reality. A total win.

Tiffy is such a relatable character for me, especially when it comes to thinking about her size/body and I appreciated that much.
The way Leon worries for Tiffy? Peak whump. So much suffering but also! so much love, so it was fine xoxo
This book had me laughing out loud while I was in bed sick and I could gush about it for forever but give it a chance! The writing style in Leon's chapters always made me DNF but it fits so well into the book and really just adds it's own magic, I promise!
