And here you are, book, going on my favourites list. This was a pleasant surprise in the best way possible. I knew that I would enjoy it, but I fell in love instead. It’s a quiet, heartwarming story that follows Tiffy and Leon. Both have agreed on an unusual arrangement between themselves and are sharing not only a flat, but a bed together. But they don’t see each other. Tiffy has the apartment to herself in the evenings, and when she’s off to work, that’s when Leon comes home. During this arran...

This was so cute and sweet! The premise is a little hard to believe at first, and I was not a fan of the writing style for Leon, but I was able to get over that once the main characters began interacting and we learn more about their background stories. The romance is very fluffy and wholesome - a wonderful reprieve to balance how the story is rooted in serious topics (healing from an emotionally abusive relationship and dealing with a family member in prison). I appreciated that the romance too...

This was boring and I just didn't feel the chemistry, so just pretty disappointing. I'll elaborate more in a recent reads video

Re-read 10/13/20: I picked this up bc I've been feeling really slumpy and wow, I love love 🥺 This book and these characters mean the world to me!!!Re-read 8/5/19: Y'all, I still love this SO DAMN MUCH. The characters in this book are some of my favorite characters of all time. Tiffy is so strong and complex and goofy and Leon is so soft and caring but also serious and MY HEART IS SO FULL. Brb while I swoon from here to eternity. I'm gonna love this book forever. Original read 5/26/19: I loved th...

Three dull, unsatisfied stars gave my shiny place in the minority among the readers who gave so much stars to this one⭐️⭐️⭐️I mostly like chic-lit books especially written by Irish and British writers. I like Marian Keyes’ books which shouldn’t be defined as soft chic lit ones because of the characters’ heavy baggages and emotional problems ( alcoholism, denial the dead of loved ones, abuse victims)On this book our heroine Tiffi suffers from emotional abuse and with flashbacks of her relationshi...

The Flatshare by Beth O'Leary, Carrie Hope Fletcher (Narrator ), Kwaku Fortune (Narrator)Tiffy needs to get away from her horrible on/off on/off boyfriend. She's sure everything is her fault because he tells her so. Leon needs extra money so he advertises for a flatmate. He'll be at his flat during weekdays, to sleep during the day, and his flatmate can have the apartment (and the only bed) for the rest of the time. No need for either flatmate to ever see the other. Tiffy takes the flat and she

now available in both hardback and eBook format in the UK / IrelandYasssssss!!! Oh I have been waiting for a book like this one to come along FOR YEARS! The Flatshare is exactly what I want from a romantic comedy/dramedy type book... It's got hugely likeable protagonists in the form of Tiffy and Leon, a highly original setup for the meeting of these two characters, a cast of interesting supporting characters and side storylines but most of all... It feels fresh!!! Hallelujah for that. I have fou...

this story really grew on me, in the best way possible. i guess its true what they say, that opposites attract, because a couple of things that would normally be off-putting to me as a reader (tiffy being stereotypically ‘quirky’ and the odd writing/formatting of leons chapters) turned out to be very endearing and made me enjoy the story that much more. i love how this radiated british humour. its so understated, undervalued even, and i thought leon was hilarious. both characters are charming an...

Remind myself that there is no saving people—people can only save themselves. The best you can do is help when they’re ready. I went into The Flatshare with high hopes at first, but after seeing a couple of mixed reviews about it, I became less excited about it, and honestly, I can’t complain. The premise of this sounded adorable, but it lacked in investment and depth.In The Flatshare we follow Leon and Tiffy who become flatmates. Simply said, Tiffy needs a cheep place to live at and

I couldn’t be more surprised that I actually enjoyed this book. A romance?! Who am I?!Tiffy has just gone through a messy break up, she has very little money and desperately needs to find somewhere to live. Leon is paying costs for his brother and could do with some extra cash. They strike a deal, share a flat and even a bed, but they will never be there at the same time. Leon works night shifts so he will have the flat during the day while Tiffy works 9-5 and she’ll have it at night. Tiffy and

This book is now a Goodreads Choice Award Nominee for romance, and it's also MY Goodreads Choice for romance, meaning this is very good and I enjoyed reading it and also Goodreads was involved. When I first read the synopsis of this book, I thought: I think I'll like this very much.Then I read a little bit of it and thought: Actually I do not think this is going to go very well. In fact I think this is going to go rather badly. Then I finished it and thought: As I said and as I, a liar, always b...

I should have known from the blurb on the front cover saying: “The new Jojo Moyes” that this book was not gonna be my thing. This is a contemporary romance novel about this girl Tiffy who’s boyfriends breaks up with her and she needs a place to live, so she moves into this apartment where Leon lives. Leon is a nurse and he works at night and he only uses the bed/apartment during the day so he needs a roommate to help him pay rent, and so Tiffy moves in and they share the same bed but they’ve nev...

when i say all men are trash, leon twomey is obviously exempted

4 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Adorable, Left Me Feeling Content Stars for Beth O'Leary's The FlatshareThis book worked its way into my heart with its: ~ slow burn romance (and I'm usually not a slow burn fan!)~ adorable post-it notes (I LOVED reading the back & forth notes!)~ fierce, quirky & hilariously inappropriate friends (everyone needs a Tribe like this in their life!)~ subtle yet frank look at emotional/psychological abuse (totally unexpected but handled appropriately for this type of read)There is unexpect...

This fun and heartfelt novel, from the author of The Switch, is just what I never knew I needed to read this weekend. Tiffy needs a place to stay, pronto. Her ex-boyfriend is kicking her out of his home. With little money and a fragile heart, she decides to do a flatshare. Essentially, she will move into Leon’s flat, share the living room area, share the kitchen, share the bathroom, and share a bed. Before your dirty mind hits the gutter, just know that the intention is that they will never meet...
