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...
It's been ages since I read a contemporary that grabbed me as much as The Flat Share did. Right from the offset, both Tiffy and Leon really came alive for me. I loved the alternating povs, and how they were written differently and I could really get a sense of their differing personalities. The side characters were great, huge fan of Richie and Rachel here, and the underlying stories for both Tiffy and Leon were realistic and unexpected.
This debut contemporary adult novel is very readable, I read the last 290 pages in one sitting - couldn't hardly bare to put it down; and is the perfect read if you enjoy a contemporary read with a bit more to then story. Highly original idea which was very well executed, I felt like the pacing was very well done and I was never bored with the book - safe to say that I loved it, I'll be lending my copy out left, right and centre.
