Can you fall for someone you have never met? Beth O’Leary has me thinking that you can! The Flatshare centers are two roommates who share a flat due to their completely opposite schedules. They were never supposed to meet, but love tends to find a way...even through Post-It notes!

Leon is a quiet, shy guy who works the night shift at a hospital. His brother is incarcerated and legal bills for his appeal are adding up fast. He comes up with the idea to rent his flat out to a stranger. They would never be there at the same time, so it is easy income. Little did he know he would get more than a roommate; he got Tiffy.

Tiffy is a six foot tall redhead with a colorful, carefree personality. She is quirky and has a crazy ex. It starts off as a simple note about sharing baked goods, and turns into so much more.

I really adored this story and the format of the writing. The novel is written in alternating perspectives that make it an engaging read. Leon and Tiffy are relatable and I laughed and cried more than once while reading!

​This is book will be available May 28th and I very much recommend it.

It was good, the main character is basically Bridget Jones. Kind of weird storyline with Richie but very easy to read

Could’ve done without the cringey epilogue if I’m honest but that aside, I really loved flying through this book over the weekend.

Two ~random~ people sharing one flat? and ONE BED? YES please.

The book is told from two POV’s, Tiffy and Leon (flatmates). Kinda slow burn(?) but you totally feel the connection very early on. I fell in love with their way of communication, post-it notes (ESPECIALLY in the end ah). SO romantic and intimate. Extremely cute, light and funny.

Overall quite interesting story. I was hooked from the beginning and finished it very quickly. I haven’t read a contemporary romance novel in a while that had me smiling as much as this one has.
