The Flatshare by Beth O'Leary

This was a super cute, quick and fun romance, with just a little bit more substance to it. I loved this story, about Tiffy and Leon, who share a flat, but just at different times, so they never actually are there at the same time and have never met. They get to know each other just by leaving notes for each other, and those notes get more and more friendly and personal. I liked how this book used both of them as narrators, alternating between both of their perspectives and helping us to get to know both of them. And I liked how Tiffy was dealing with an emotionally abusive ex-relationship, which she didn't really understand at the beginning of the novel. I liked how Tiffy began to see what she had gone through and to uncover the trauma of her relationship one layer at a time, slowly, as she got to know Leon. I thought it was so believable and it made their relationship much more meaningful as she tried to recover from what she went through. And the romance itself was really sweet and adorable, and Tiffy's friends were great characters to follow along with. All in all, a very fun listen.
