What if your roommate is your soul mate? A joyful, quirky romantic comedy, Beth O'Leary's The Flatshare is a feel-good audiobook about finding love in the most unexpected of ways.
Tiffy and Leon share an apartment. Tiffy and Leon have never met.
After a bad breakup, Tiffy Moore needs a place to live. Fast. And cheap. But the apartments in her budget have her wondering if astonishingly colored mold on the walls counts as art.
Desperation makes her open-minded, so she answers an ad for a flatshare. Leon, a night-shift worker, will take the apartment during the day, and Tiffy can have it nights and weekends. He’ll only ever be there when she’s at the office. In fact, they’ll never even have to meet.
Tiffy and Leon start writing each other notes — first about what day is garbage day, and politely establishing what leftovers are up for grabs, and the evergreen question of whether the toilet seat should stay up or down. Even though they are opposites, they soon become friends. And then maybe more.
But falling in love with your roommate is probably a terrible idea...especially if you've never met.

An awesome, somehow believable love story. I truly enjoyed it from beginning to end and was saddened to say goodbye to Leon and Tiffany. Searching for more books related to their story. The background to Mo and Gertrude. What happened with the brother? Rachel? Even the mother and the man in the apartment upstairs! MORE please ??

Cute, fun read! It’s a bit slow in the beginning, but definitely picks up. Would be a good beach/summer book!

Not insta-love at all. I was expecting it to be cliche and annoying but it was actually very very good finished it in 1 day no problem.

Love the narrators, the story is pretty good, funny and I really feel sorry for Tiffy with her ex. And Leon is having a hard moment so he needs the money! This looks like the perfect roomie, tbh I found funny the way they get to meet through post-its. The meeting scene is hilarious, I loved that part!
Rating: 4Such a sweet love story with a lot of humor and fun!
Rating: 5This story was just so clever. Who would ever imagine two people sharing an apartment and even a bed but have never met? The concept seemed novel to me and the cast of characters were just so likeable! It was the kind of book you don’t want to end.

I started off reading this book and was quite frankly bored because I wasn’t connecting with the characters and felt it was a typical RomCom plot I had figured out from the beginning.
However because it was a buddy read and had so many good reviews I decided continue the book on audio. Thank you Scribd.
WOW! What a difference! The narrators were superb and the characters came alive. The audio also eliminated the weird formatting of Leon’s chapters.
The humor was hit or miss for me, but the depth of the story and the issues it covered that went deeper than an flat-mate to lovers story made it an overall cute, engaging book. Rounded up to 3.5 stars!!!

Romance or women's fiction? Don't care because it is really good and important. Especially for women. There's abuse here but not physical. It's emotional and psychological but it doesn't mean it's less. Important for people to read this to understand that it is not easy to get out of an abusive relationship and that even if you're out, doesn't mean it is out of your system. Abusers start with little, unnoticeable things that control and manipulate their partners. It is so good and heart warming.

It was a fun read. I loved the narrators of this book.
Rating: 5Amazing book! Though it did get me a long while to get used to the male narrator, he made some uncomfortable mouth noises. I really loved the interview with the author at the end. Amazing relatable characters and healthy relationship without insta love. Highly recommend! Carrie’s great as Tiffy too.
Rating: 4This was such a beautiful book. I loved it
