What to expect

'The new Jojo Moyes ... This has all the ingredients of Me Before You' COSMOPOLITAN

'Funny and winning ... a Richard Curtis rom-com that also has its feet firmly planted in real life. A real treat' Stylist

Tiffy and Leon share a flat
Tiffy and Leon share a bed
Tiffy and Leon have never met...

Tiffy Moore needs a cheap flat, and fast. Leon Twomey works nights and needs cash. Their friends think they're crazy, but it's the perfect solution: Leon occupies the one-bed flat while Tiffy's at work in the day, and she has the run of the place the rest of the time.

But with obsessive ex-boyfriends, demanding clients at work, wrongly-imprisoned brothers and, of course, the fact that they still haven't met yet, they're about to discover that if you want the perfect home you need to throw the rulebook out the window...

'In the league of Bridget Jones and Marian Keyes' Walsh sister books...' Claire Allan

(P)2019 Quercus Editions Limited

Utterly charming... a Richard Curtis rom-com that also has its feet firmly planted in real life... above all else, it's funny and winning

It's funny and charming but there are moments of real poignancy, too. Guaranteed to leave you with a smile on your face
Good Housekeeping
The Flatshare is a huge, heartwarming triumph

This wee smasher is up-lit/romcom at its best
Sunday Post
Uproariously funny with characters you fall for from the first page
Woman & Home
The last book to completely emotionally absorb me in this way was Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine, and I think fans of that will adore this. . . addictively readable
Daisy Buchanan, Brides Magazine
Each novel is like if Richard Curtis and Nora Ephron made a story baby
Zoella Book Club
An inspired premise... Much Up Lit, often characterised by infantilising whimsy and pat resolutions, raises this reviewer's hackles. The zesty Flatshare, however, proves a tonic
Sunday Times
There's no denying the sparky charm of this rather quirky love story
