I loved how the phone calls throughout the book really sounded more electronic and distant as if the listener was actually hearing it through a phone and not just more regular audio. The difference in audio styles of the phone calls is a nuance and attention to detail I do not typically hear in audiobooks.

J'ai apprécié l'histoire mais il y avait des longueurs. J'ai aimé le début et la fin mais le milieu de l'histoire était répétitif.
Les personnages étaient ok. Un peu unidimensionnels. Tiff est un peu l3 cliché de "not like the other girls". Elle est quirky et gorgeous mais ne le sait pas. Pourquoi pas écrire un personnage d'une femme qui est belle et qui le sait? C'est ridicule d'écrire encore des personnages comme ça...
Le personnage de Leon est décrit comme ayant cheveux bouclés bruns et ayant un "adorable lopsided smile". Ces mots ont été tellement utilisés c'en était étourdissant. Le personnage n'est pas assez développé selon moi.
Les amis de Tiff sont très premier degrés. Ils n'ont pas d'utilité mis à part de faire avancer l'histoire de Tiff.
Le personnage de Justin était réaliste. J'ai apprécié cela. Le cheminement de Tiff avec la violence conjugale était réaliste.
L'histoire de Ricky était assez prévisible. Il n'y avait pas de rebondissements.
Bref, ce livre était très prévisible et beaucoup de celui-ci était très unidimensionnel. Je ne recommanderai pas ce livre. Puisqu'il y en a des meilleurs. C'est dommage parce que le début du livre était vraiment bon et l'histoire était prometteuse.

the story built up our main characters with great delicacy and care. the book gave us so much slow buildup - and it worked.
and then came the mid-to-end part where everything was suddenly fast-paced. that conflict just hadn’t received the same careful buildup as the rest of the narrative. and it could really have been so much better if it had.

on a reread i found the writing style in leon's chapters insufferable it felt like he constantly missed the first few words of every sentence. the premise sounds a bit ridiculous at first but honestly with rent prices in london i really don't think it's that crazy of a circumstance - the craziest thing about it is that leon is a normal guy and not some creepy 50 year old. i love the characters though and the story in general and even tiffy's 'quirkiness' is super charming in this book. i love romances where the main characters have their own shit going on tho (am i delusional or is this way more common in british romances?) so im biased. this was one of the books that got me back into reading a few years ago and i think i'll always love reading it. also if i don't start a new book in the next couple days it's because i'm (finally) watching the flatshare miniseries.

loved it but tiffy was a little too quirky girl for me to fully immerse myself in the novel
