I'm so in love with this incredibly cute story. The writing is superb. The Flatshare follows a woman who finds herself nursing a broken heart, and no roof over her head. From there, she finds an advert online for a flat-share. Except it's also a bed-share with a man named Leon. They won't be there at the same times, for he takes the night shifts, so she goes for it and finds she gets a lot more than she bargained for...
This book makes me want to dish superlatives and speak in exclamation marks, exclusively! Best romance I've read in some time: uplifting, funny and super-empowering (in a casual, almost understated way.) Has those cute laugh-out-loud moments, close-the-book-and-squeal moments, and plenty of learning moments. It was interesting how the relationships in the book were contrasted: one that is caring and easy and the other, messy and painful. I was also pleasantly surprised by the thoughtful and honest conversations within the book: there's a lot to gain from it.
I stayed up late reading this one and woke up earlier (basically I didn't sleep). It was worth it! A truly delightful debut- I can't believe it's a debut novel at all!
General thoughts:
-Love-notes: I couldn't get over the idea!
-Made me wish this book didn't come with an ending. Or that there was a full-blown series I just didn't know about.
-Reminded me that the perfect romance does exist. (At least in someone's head.)
-Perfect for fans of the debut novel Our Stop, by Laura Jane Williams.
I received this book for review consideration through Netgalley. All opinions are mine and completely honest.
