contemporary fiction

Tiffy needs a place to live and Leon needs some extra income. After changing his schedule to so he can earn more money as a night nurse, he sublets his flat during the day and on weekends to Tiffy.  They never see one another, but they sleep in the same bed.  Hilarity ensues, of course.

Amy's Review

This was such a cute story with loveable characters.  Their communicative notes and leftover food eventually lead to a friendship that neither realized how much they needed. It was a perfect escape from real life and would make a great beach read.  I enjoyed the British-isms and the heartwarming gestures made by several characters.

There isn’t too much to say about this novel but I did really like it. If you’re looking for a light, uplifting novel, I highly recommend it.

Lynnie's Review

Beth O'Leary's The Flatshare is a completely delightful few hours of reading. It's kind of a ridiculous story, but I absolutely loved every single minute of it. The characters were charming and colorful, the side plots were mostly engaging (I hated the villain, as one is supposed to, but he was almost too much of a cartoon villain sometimes), and I found myself completely wrapped up in the drama of Tiffy and Leon.

When you need a book to put a smile on your face, this is the one to reach for. It's total chick-lit, but it is absolutely entertaining.
