sophiesbookmusings's review against another edition
3.5
I went into this somewhat apprehensively, having not been overly keen on The Flat Share (personal preference). This, however, seemed much more my thing and it was! This was the perfect light read to start the year with, while never shying away from some hard-hitting themes. A heartwarming and charming read that you can’t help but enjoy. I loved Eileen and would happily read more about her.
The audiobook was well done and really captured the characters well. The dual-POV utilised by Beth O’Leary means her work is ideal for the audiobook format, with two clearly distinct voices throughout.This is further helped by the decision to have two narrators.
Thanks to NetGalley for providing me with this in exchange for an honest review.
