I LOVED THIS. I loved the story and writing styles and how funny it was and the characters. However, I struggled with reading this and it took a while to read. this is mainly bc of simply HOW many named characters there are, I was constantly getting confused and had to keep checking the x-ray on the kindle app. I felt like some of these characters didn’t need to be named but most of them i loved.

It's also laugh-out-loud funny in a lot of places. The humour is present even in some of the most emotional moments thanks to the story itself; from Eileen's forays into online dating, to Leena's attempts to grapple with unruly puppies, spring fêtes and neighbourhood watch meetings. I was just captivated by the whole thing!
By the end it felt as if some of the new relationships were a little convenient to the narrative where perhaps they weren't necessary for all of the characters, but I did still find myself rooting for everyone. The end is beautifully touching and had me all emotional, while still feeling delightfully warm and fuzzy.
Didn't have my heart to quite the same extent as The Flat Share, but it came pretty close!
