Recent Reads: The Flatshare by Beth O'Leary
My review: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Oh, this was a glorious book! A wonderful tale of how 2 people are not going to meet, even though they share the same bed.
Tiffy is trying to move on from her ex, whose apartment she is still staying in, and Leon is trying to get more money together to help his brother. Neither of them really want to do this, and Leon's girlfriend, Kay, really isn't pleased. But, it's not as if they'll ever meet. Leon works nights, and is to spend the weekends at Kay's.
This isn't always a light book (see below for the warning!) but it is a very enjoyable one, and sweeps you along in the action. Tiffy and Leon have very different voices, which drives home how different they are, and saves you from getting confused which one you are reading!
Be warned, some might find the emotional abuse described upsetting, and one of the characters has PTSD. This is the first book that I've reviewed on my blog that I've felt needs a warning, but that's just because it's being described as uplifting, joyous and so on, which it is, but not always.
With that warning given, this is a book I'm going to be recommending to every one to read, and is one that is going to do well! So what are you waiting for? Go and pre-order it from your favourite bookshop, or pre-order it to your device!
The Flat Share is out on 18th April this year, and is available on Amazon to preorder, and everywhere else you can find books!

I was given this book for free in return for an unbiased review, so my thanks to NetGalley and to Quercus (the publishers) for this book.
