I was a little nervous about this. Just because The Flatshare didn’t fully live up to the expectations I put on the book. However I loved this. Managing to get through this in one day.
The audio narrators were perfect. They really brought the characters to life. Such a easy listen. I wasn’t wanting to put it down.
Grandma Eileen is such a cool gran. Especially with how helpful she is and wanting to improve the place. Caring about people.
The story itself was on the simple side. A lighter read. Although there is grief from a past death still effecting the characters. But I think it was handled well. The characters coming to terms and beginning to put themselves together again.
This wasn’t as heavy on the relationships for one of the characters as I had hope. I didn’t think it harmed the story. I preferred this to an insta love. Although it could have had a little more build.
Cheating trope usually annoys me. I understand why Beth O’Leary did it here. But I would have preferred something else.
This was a sweet, wholesome and endearing book. With two people in two different generations learning something from the other generation. Coming to terms with grief and moving on with their lives.
I definitely want to read more by Beth O’Leary.
