This was a fun read with an interesting story line. I haven’t read a romance book like this before, I loved how they were sharing the same bed and living in the same house but never met as both main characters lived different working hour lives… until one day it all changed! The first half of the book was a bit tedious to get through but once you start seeing them learning about each other and then eventually meeting, I really got into it! The story does cover some tricky topics that could be sensitive to some people. I also wasn’t a fan of how Leon’s character was written, I know he’s meant to be seen as someone quite blunt but the writing style for his character took me some effort to get used too. It didn’t flow as nicely as Tiffys pov, but it was obviously done for a reason. Overall, a fun read and I would recommend!
