Tiffy has broken up with her horrible boyfriend, Justin, and needs somewhere to stay. Her job publishing rather niche crochet books pays a pittance, so she is tempted with an interesting flat-share proposition; for cheap rent, she can inhabit Leon's flat during the nights and weekends while he is at work at the hospice and staying with his girlfriend, Kay. Tiffy and Leon share a bed, but never at the same time. It seems like an ideal solution, but things change and life gets in the way of the best laid plans.
I really enjoyed this. Yes, it's a bit predictable and there are some amazing coincidences that the plot relies on heavily. However, it's a cheerful and lively read that will keep you turning the pages as Tiffy and Leon get to know each other without meeting - the trails of notes are really sweet. There are also lots of likeable characters and some real pantomime villains. It does occasionally get a bit dark in places, but there are some lovely humorous touches too; I especially liked Katherin, the crochet queen, and Rachel, the oversharing work friend.
Overall, there is a lot to enjoy here and it was great to read something light and happy. I'd recommend this and will look for more from this writer in the future.
