Freaky Friday without the magic

The Switch by Beth O'Leary

April 5, 2021 by Nart Leave a Comment

Do you need a gentle, low stakes story with zero surprises to get you through a brain fog? Have I got the book for you. Plot: Leena’s sister died last year after a protracted battle with cancer and she has not handled it well. In fact, she’s handling it poorly enough that her work, some consulting company, insists on her taking a paid 2 month sabbatical to get her head on straight. Her grandmother Eileen is also reeling from her husband of 50 years leaving […]

Oh No There Is Only oNe BeD???

The Flatshare by Beth O'Leary

February 11, 2021 by wicherwill Leave a Comment

CW: mentions of (past) emotional abuse After a series of books that were either meh or abandoned for not being engaging enough to warrant staying up late (a litmus test that is terrible from the perspective of my sleep schedule but very effective), I’m glad to note that this book has broken the streak! Is it that surprising that well-written romance novels tend to break my streaks? Perhaps it is because they are emotion-forward novels where the main characters solve their issues via communication, and […]

Thanks, Beth O’Leary, for making 2020 a little less cruddy.

My 2020 was all about comfort reading. I bought a bunch of well-received mysteries and horror novels and then, when I started reading them, I just couldn’t deal. My brain wasn’t up for anything that wasn’t a happy ending. So I’m glad I discovered Beth O’Leary. Last year around this time, I was in London, and I saw ads for The Flatshare in all of the tube stations and at all of the bookstores. Not knowing anything about it, I bought it, threw it in […]

A Sweet Romance

The Flatshare by Beth O'Leary

July 20, 2020 by Tracy Leave a Comment

CBR 12 Bingo: Money! (I think this fits the category.) So, the flat that is being shared is a 1-bedroom. More specifically, a 1-bed. Tiffy and Leon, our romantic leads, have an arrangement in which they will only ever be in the flat when the other person is out. Leon works nights as a nurse and spends the weekends with his girlfriend (until they break up), and Tiffy works a day job and gets to have the flat on weekends. By agreement they each sleep […]

An interesting twist on the “there’s only one bed” trope

The Flatshare by Beth O'Leary

December 21, 2019 by Malin Leave a Comment

Official book description: 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. […]
