I absolutely loved this book! I loved the premise of how Tilly and Leon start flat sharing, how they officially meet, and how their relationship evolved.

I loved this audiobook! 
I had enjoyed Beth O’Leary’s The Switch so was excited to find this audiobook—especially with Carrie Hope Fletcher as Tiffy. 

The characters were so loveable and I loved the way their story developed through post-it notes! The friendships felt very authentic which supported the main story arc. 

I love that this story had so much depth, touching on trauma, the justice system, and loss while still having so many lighthearted, joyful moments.

I had to get used to the way Leon’s pov was written and Kay felt like she was witten to be a bad person, just so she could easily be dumped. (Literally nothing was likeable about her), it was different than Justin, as the author explored the issues that came with him more. Overall really enjoyed it.

I enjoyed the book overall. But I felt like the characters we know at the end of the book were identical to those we met on the first page. The two main characters are lovable and kind; I just wish we knew much more than that.
Also, Leon and Kay's breakup just felt very unresolved/unexplained. If it was just going to be for convenience, I think it should have happened before Tiffy moved in.
