What if your roommate is your soul mate? A joyful, quirky romantic
comedy, Beth O'Leary's The Flatshare is a feel-good novel
about finding love in the most unexpected of ways.
Tiffy and Leon share an apartment. Tiffy and Leon have never met.
After a bad breakup, Tiffy Moore needs a place to live. Fast. And cheap.
But the apartments in her budget have her wondering if astonishingly
colored mold on the walls counts as art.
Desperation makes her open minded, so she answers an ad for a flatshare.
Leon, a night shift worker, will take the apartment during the day, and
Tiffy can have it nights and weekends. He'll only ever be there when
she's at the office. In fact, they'll never even have to meet.
Tiffy and Leon start writing each other notes - first about what day is
garbage day, and politely establishing what leftovers are up for grabs,
and the evergreen question of whether the toilet seat should stay up or
down. Even though they are opposites, they soon become friends. And then
maybe more.
But falling in love with your roommate is probably a terrible
idea...especially if you've never met.
