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...

Initial thoughts: It took me an unusually long time to finish The Flatshare, though it wasn't for lack of enjoyment. I actually really liked this book. It was quite charming, filled with good cheer but peppered with a good deal of difficulties too that gave rise to conflicts that made me root for Tiffy, Leon, Richie, Gerty, Mo, and even for minor characters.
