The Flatshare

First contemporary romance in a very long while where all the characters – besides antagonists, of course – were lovely and likeable. Quite heartwarming, and deals with some complex issues in a sensitive way that felt right to me (I've experienced similar things as the main character and reading this book was a trip down memory lane that made me feel uneasy but it also made me feel seen). The story had the right balance of sweetness, light, and seriousness, all wrapped up in a calm, warm hug. I will be checking out Beth O'Leary's other books.
