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...

I thought this had a really interesting concept, and I loved how the MCs/love interests interacted via post-it notes. That was a fun and inventive form of communication between two people who've never met. But that's about all I enjoyed here. I liked the characters individually just fine, but when they all started interacting with each other, it felt really repetitive.

I just don't think this type of story was for me.
