What if your roommate is your soul mate?

A joyful, quirky romantic comedy, Beth O'Leary's The Flatshare is a feel-good audiobook about finding love in the most unexpected of ways.

Tiffy and Leon share an apartment. Tiffy and Leon have never met.

After a bad breakup, Tiffy Moore needs a place to live. Fast. And cheap. But the apartments in her budget have her wondering if astonishingly colored mold on the walls counts as art.

Desperation makes her open minded, so she answers an ad for a flatshare. Leon, a night shift worker, will take the apartment during the day, and Tiffy can have it nights and weekends. He'll only ever be there when she's at the office. In fact, they'll never even have to meet.

Tiffy and Leon start writing each other notes - first about what day is garbage day, and politely establishing what leftovers are up for grabs, and the evergreen question of whether the toilet seat should stay up or down. Even though they are opposites, they soon become friends. And then maybe more.

But falling in love with your roommate is probably a terrible idea...especially if you've never met.

Praise for The Flatshare:

Reseñas de la Crítica

“The Flatshare is a huge, heartwarming triumph.” (Josie Silver, number-one NYT best-selling author of One Day in December)

sweet story, excellent narration

I loved the story - the characters were engaging and I never wanted to stop listening! the narrator voicing Tiffy was just perfect - she brought to life all of the character's quirkiness, confidence, and spontaneity. Leon's chapters were a lot quieter and more terse, which made it especially enjoyable to hear his narration style change when Tiffy started moving into his life. The secondary characters were well drawn, but I wouldn't say either narrator gave any of them distinctive voices. I definitely got invested in their stories too though! overall, a very enjoyable read.

Amazing Book; Less Than Incredible Narration

Tiffy’s parts are okay - the choice to use a phone effect on voices makes them hard to hear (especially when I’m listening while driving).

Leon’s parts...yikes. He’s not bad, but his mic picked up all sorts of extra sounds. Lip smacking, big breaths...chewing? I don’t know, but it was definitely distracting.

But the paperback or ebook instead.

great fun light read

very cute storyline. Narrator did a great job going back and forth with the voices

Light, refreshing read

I thoroughly enjoyed this story! O'Leary wrote a funny, relatable story about flatmates who got to know each other through post-it-notes, met under hilarious circumstances, each dealt with difficult personal issues and ultimately found friendship and acceptance in one another. I needed this light, refreshing read. The narrators were superb.
