Reviews with content warning for Domestic abuse - The Flatshare

LOVED this book. I finished it in a day. Just what I needed as a break between series reading. Engaging, funny, sweet, emotional, and just absolutely lovely. All of the characters were all so human and well-written, they all really shined in O'Leary's writing. Also I ADORED Leon. He was absolutely perfect in every way and I loveeeeed him. I really enjoyed Tiffy too but I just want to emphasize that I absolutely thoroughly enjoyed reading from Leon's pov. Many times I feel like, a man's perspective or character is too boring, or uninteresting, or just not realistic. But Leon was just absolutely perfect. I loved reading this, it was SO much fun. would definitely read again

I'm surprised at how much I enjoyed this. The relationship was believable and both main characters were endearing. I loved how the different POVs were written and thought it was a brilliant choice by the author to get the reader inside the head of each character. I think the Justin plot-line was challenging but well handled and

showcased how difficult these situations can be despite having a relatively strong support group.

My main drawbacks were

that I hated how easily Martin got off. He should have faced some real and legitimate consequences. I also HATED the Gerty-Mo relationship! Why can't people just be friends! I'm going to pretend that Gerty and Rachel hooked up and Mo is actually asexual just so I can be happy.

I haven’t read a comfy rom-com in awhile and I’ve seen this book going around last year and decided to finally pick this up and OMG🥹 this was so cute and beautifully written. I love Tiffy and Leon’s relationship! Especially in the beginning when their friendship developed through notes to each other around the flat before they’ve met and how it’s so innocent and sweet. I also love the mc’s friendships because it adds a layer of comfort and playfulness in the story that makes you love all the characters even more.
