Summary
An alternative cover edition for this ISBN can be found here。
Tiffy Moore and Leon Twomey each have a problem and need a quick fix。
Tiffy’s been dumped by her cheating boyfriend and urgently needs a new flat。 But earning minimum wage at a quirky publishing house means that her choices are limited in London。
Leon， a palliative care nurse， is more concerned with other people’s welfare than his own。 Along with working night shifts looking after the terminally ill， his sole focus is on raising money to fight his brother’s unfair imprisonment。
Leon has a flat that he only uses 9 to 5。 Tiffy works 9 to 5 and needs a place to sleep。 The solution to their problems？ To share a bed of course。。。
As Leon and Tiffy’s unusual arrangement becomes a reality， they start to connect through Post-It notes left for each other around the flat。
Can true love blossom even in the unlikeliest of situations？
Can true love blossom even if you never see one another？
Or does true love blossom when you are least expecting it？

📖Tiffy Moore and Leon Twomey get into an arrangement where they not only share a flat but also one bed （as against the advice of Tiffy's friends and Leon's girlfriend） without actually having to meet each other。 Instead of texts or calls， they find a unique way to communicate by leaving post-it notes - about daily chores and little gestures in the beginning， and eventually sharing their personal lives such as Tiffy's toxic ex boyfriend， Justin and Leon's convicted younger brother， Richie - leadi 📖Tiffy Moore and Leon Twomey get into an arrangement where they not only share a flat but also one bed （as against the advice of Tiffy's friends and Leon's girlfriend） without actually having to meet each other。 Instead of texts or calls， they find a unique way to communicate by leaving post-it notes - about daily chores and little gestures in the beginning， and eventually sharing their personal lives such as Tiffy's toxic ex boyfriend， Justin and Leon's convicted younger brother， Richie - leading them to get to know each other very well albeit not having met in person。 One thing leads to another and they start falling for each other despite all the efforts to maintain a platonic relationship。📝I really loved the storyline which was much more than just another rom-com。 It talked about some grave issues such as stalking， over possessiveness and most importantly Gaslighting， a form of psychological abuse where the victim is made to question their sanity and perception of reality。The book is written in a dual narrative with each chapter alternating between Tiffy's and Leon's point of view。 Though I loved Tiffy's narration right from the start， it took me a lot of time to get used to Leon's mainly because a lot of characters were introduced making it tough to connect the dots。I loved the major characters， specially Tiffy's friends， Gerty and Mo， and Leon's brother， Richie， all of whom had substantial roles in the story。 Even the character of Justin as a toxic ex boyfriend and an antagonist was well depicted。✨In the end， the book left me smiling and had this refreshing and feel good effect。 I would recommend it to everyone who is looking for a fun read irrespective of their preference for the romantic genre。 。。。more

Uma história divertida com muitas personagens todas elas bastante bem descritas e muito engraçadas。 A ideia dos post-its é divinal e faz que com não consigamos parar de ler。 Uma história que relata um tipo de relação má e cruel e que nem sempre é vista/percebida a tempo。 Mas a amizade e o amor vencem sempre。 Gostei muito。Dá vontade de partilhar um apartamento também 😅🤩

2。5 really - I didn't mesh with Leon's POV chapters due to lack of description and found Tiffy bordering on being annoying quite a lot。 There were times when I was tempted to skip， waiting for something to happen that wasn't constantly being reminded that Tiffy doesn't wear matching clothing and Leon has a lop-sided smile。 I didn't really find the book all that humorous and， after finishing reading， felt like nothing really happened much at all。 The ending was pretty good though， and I enjoyed t 2。5 really - I didn't mesh with Leon's POV chapters due to lack of description and found Tiffy bordering on being annoying quite a lot。 There were times when I was tempted to skip， waiting for something to happen that wasn't constantly being reminded that Tiffy doesn't wear matching clothing and Leon has a lop-sided smile。 I didn't really find the book all that humorous and， after finishing reading， felt like nothing really happened much at all。 The ending was pretty good though， and I enjoyed that at least。 。。。more

I really loved this book！ Have become a bit of a sucker for a love story recently and this ticked all the boxes！ Tilly & Leon are totally loveable characters and I really feel like you get to know them throughout the book。 It’s a fun concept （sharing the bed despite never having met） and I like all the ongoing side stories which give each character more of a depth to them！ A bit late to the party so I’m sure most have already read this novel， but， if not - I recommend！

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 It was cute！ Tbh I wasn’t into the story until they finally meet， and idk what about they but they’re just not my favorite characters， but even so， was a great time。 Loved the whole setting and the story， it was different and lovely。 The end was surprisingly so cute and i’m still smiling about it。 Also， Richie and Rachel （even she “supporting” Justin earlier） are my favorites。 Anyway， not my absolutely favorite but i will definitely indicate to my friends！ 💖
