At times the story flows over situational humor even as the plot directs the cast through believable challenges. In the end, you’re rooting for everyone—main and supporting characters alike. ( ) An epistolary novel of sorts, via post-it notes, written in a very accomplished narrative voice that gave distinctive personalities to the two main characters, Tiffy and Leon. It worked surprisingly well, interspersed with descriptive action. A pretty solid read that engages the reader, assuming that the genre is appealing. The realistic relationship situation with Tiffy and her ex-boy friend was pretty edgy for me, and felt very real. The flatshare set-up with Leon on nightshift while Tiffy is on a daytime job is realistic, since people in the UK have to go to extraordinary lengths to afford living in London. Altogether, there was very little aspect of worn-out tropes showing up, which is a big plus. The layering with Leon's brother, Ritchie, was a nice fleshing out of how life can be so fraught with other issues. O'leary wrote well in terms of building Leon's psychological background from childhood. I wanted to learn more about Tiffany's, other than her recent hassles with the ex-BF. The plot did become rather long-drawn out, a phase about two-thirds of the way through. Creating a misstep in the narrative's trajectory pulled me out of the story from time to time. The ending was okay, though quite abrupt in cutting off the action. Readers are left with too much of a sense that there is unfinished business ~ not conducive to satisfying dénouement. This was extremely angsty for a rom-com, but I liked it. The plot includes a loved one behind bars, emotional abuse, an aggressive/stalker ex, and dying patients in hospice. What fun! For all the bummer elements, it's a fun story. It reminded me of You've Got Mail because they fall in love mainly via the written word without meeting. Gaah! This book is so cute, funny, witty, and clever, it had me giggling like a schoolgirl. I had initially received this book as a birthday gift last year, but I really wish I had read it so much sooner. I found it impossible not to fall for Tiffy and Leon as they slowly fell for each other. One of my favorite things that a romance author can do is show me why the couple works. Because as much as I love a book where the plot is not deeper than a couple characters undressing each other, one’s that show the couple growing together as people, will always hold a special place in my heart. My favorite kinds of romance novels are the ones that show how and why the couple works together. The feeling of getting to know the leads as they get to know each other is a special kind of magic that novel fully captures. The leads journey starts with both characters in a bit of a financial muck where they need to save some extra money and find a roommate. Tiffy is moving out, on the heels of a bad break up, with not much wiggle room in her budget. Leon is in need of a roommate so he can afford keep paying the solicitor working on his brother’s case. Enter a proposition that works out hilariously well (despite a couple mishaps along the way) for our leads: they’ll not only share the same room, but the same bed. But don’t worry! Their conflicting work schedules mean they’ll never be in the apartment at the same time. Enter ensuing shenanigans. If you’re looking for a heartwarming read that will give you the giggles, I can’t recommend the one enough! Check Out Other Reviews on My Blog!
