The Flatshare

First read 7/1/19: I was NOT expecting to love this book as much as I did. I was expecting cute, fluffy, light romance, and while that does play a role here, there is so much more to the story. I loved Leon's quirks and backstory with his brother. Tiffy's situation with her ex-boyfriend hit close to home in the best way, and I loved seeing Leon support her through it. Their notes back and forth to each other were so cute and AAAHHHHH. I just loved this so much.

Second read 9/26/19: still one of my faves.

This was absolutely delightful! More than five stars.

Very, very good - just missed 5 stars by a hair. Great concept and more depth than I was expecting. The set up was the best part; when Tiffy and Leon finally met it was a bit of a let down because their in-person interactions couldn't possibly live up to the charming notes that they left for each other. And I wish the author had let up a little on the horrible ex-boyfriend plot, which had become repetitive by the end. But the epilogue was incredibly adorable and overall this was a seriously impressive debut effort that deserves the buzz it is receiving.

So hard to find good chick lit! This is a proper one with swooning and laughing and cheering and wanting to finish it but not so much because it'll be over.

I love the premise of The Flatshare. It's such a weird living situation, that you know feelings are going to develop. That didn't bother me - the amount of predictable plot was just the right amount.

Overall, I really enjoyed The Flatshare and definitely recommend it.
