This was cuuute. I love how individualistic Tiffy is! She's not of average appearance, but she doesn't it affect what she can wear and act like. She's not the definition of "conventionally" attractive, as Leon's girlfriend so viciously remarks upon, but Leon is absolutely enraptured by her looks & beauty. I love it!

It's also solid epistolary literature. The way the chapters transition from one of their notes/letters to a relevant scene is awesome. It feels so natural.

I appreciate that the book covers more than just their romance, too. I like the prison subplot, how it shows what people might be like when justice fails and truth is suppressed. And the look into publishing, and hospice even moreso, is interesting.

I didn't give a full 5 because I prefer having an up-close-and-personal look into characters, but this felt a bit bird's-eye at times.

I give both Carrie Hope Fletcher and Kwaku Fortune 4.5/5⭐️'s. And the only reason they're not higher is probably (unfortunately) not thier fault. The production left in a lot of mouth sounds. The tracks should have been edited better.

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 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.
