nadia 's review for:

The Flatshare by Beth O'Leary
4.0
hopeful lighthearted medium-paced
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Such a cute, fun read. There were times when I chuckled, gasped, exclaimed "nooo!", and cringed. 

What I love is that the author dealt with serious mental health and trauma issues incredibly well in a book that was ultimately warm and feel-good.

There were things about the plot that were a little annoying, but overall this was a great story and I'm definitely looking forward to Beth O'Leary's 'The Switch Up', due out in April 2020.

Interesting fact: The bulk of the book was written on O'Leary's train commute between Winchester and London! 2 hours of focused writing time each day!
