When I started this book I thought it was going to be a nice chick lit, sort of girl-meet-boys through a strange living arrangement.
I was wrong: this book is more complex and multilayered than I expected and it's more the story of how to recover from an abusive relationship.
I liked both Tiffy, a bit naif and the type of woman you'd like to befriend, and Leon, so serious and so sweet.
The book is well written, I appreciated the attention to the details and how well it describes the differences between Tiffy and Leon tastes.
The plot develops a bit slowly at the beginning but once you're hooked you you cannot put it down and root for Tiffy and Leon. It made me smile and feel the sufferance of the characters at the same time.
I loved the cast of characters, fleshed out and well written. The villains are perfect and you cannot help loathing them.
I look forward to reading other books by this author.
Highly recommended!
