ABOUT THE FLATSHARE
 
Tiffy and Leon share a flat
Tiffy and Leon share a bed
Tiffy and Leon have never met...
 
Tiffy Moore needs a cheap flat, and fast. Leon Twomey works nights and needs cash. Their friends think they're crazy, but it's the perfect solution: Leon occupies the one-bed flat while Tiffy's at work in the day, and she has the run of the place the rest of the time.
 
But with obsessive ex-boyfriends, demanding clients at work, wrongly imprisoned brothers and, of course, the fact that they still haven't met yet, they're about to discover that if you want the perfect home you need to throw the rulebook out the window...

My Review:

About to be homeless Tiffy is desperate for a cheap place. Is sharing a flat with Leon the answer to her prayers? It's an unorthodox idea – Tiffy has the flat evenings and weekends, Leon has it daytimes.
 
An absolutely brilliant book. I was expecting a will-they or won't-they storyline but there was so much more. Gerty the no-nonsense barrister and Tiffy's strange writers and colleagues. And Leon's brother. All the characters were so real and have stayed with me for days.
 
The ending nearly had me in tears.
 
VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
