Review: The Flat Share

The Flat Share The Flat Share by Beth O'Leary
My rating: 4 of 5 stars


When Tiffy Moore’s boyfriend Justin leaves her for another woman, she starts flat-hunting. Determined to stand on her own too feet she starts searching for flats to rend when she comes across a listing for a double bedroom flat in Stockwell which is available immediately. The only hitch is that you have to share the flat with a twenty-seven-year-old palliative care nurse Leon who works nights and is away weekends.

Tiffy agrees to the terms and conditions and becomes Leon’s flatmate. They never see each other and communicate via post-it notes and over time, they become friends chatting and offering words of wisdom to each other.

This was a lovely, happy novel which was ideal to read on Spring evenings. The characters are truly believable and engaging, and I really loved Tiffy and wish she could teach me to crochet (I’ve always wanted to learn!!) An enchanting love story that is well worth reading.

Maybe Next Christmas by Emma Heatherington

  Maybe Next Christmas" by Emma Heatherington was a delightful festive read that truly delivered in the end. While I found the beginning a little slow, once the story picked up, I was completely hooked and couldn’t put it down! Emma's storytelling and knack for building relatable, heartfelt characters shines through, making the journey worth it. The Christmas charm, along with themes of love and second chances, make this one feel as cozy as her other novels. Definitely recommended for fans of Christmas romances or anyone looking for a feel-good, warm festive read!
