Tiffy and Leon share a flat.

Tiffy and Leon share a bed.

Tiffy and Leon have never met....

Tiffy Moore needs a cheap flat, and fast. Leon Twomey works nights and needs cash. Their friends think they're crazy, but it's the perfect solution: Leon occupies the one-bed flat while Tiffy's at work in the day, and she has the run of the place the rest of the time.

But with obsessive ex-boyfriends, demanding clients at work, wrongly imprisoned brothers and, of course, the fact that they still haven't met yet, they're about to discover that if you want the perfect home you need to throw the rule book out the window....

This audiobook contains an exclusive interview with author Beth O'Leary and narrator Carrie Hope Fletcher.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"The new Jojo Moyes.... This has all the ingredients of Me Before You." (Cosmopolitan)

"Funny and winning...a Richard Curtis rom-com that also has its feet firmly planted in real life. A real treat." (Stylist)

"In the league of Bridget Jones and Marian Keyes' Walsh sister books." (Claire Allan)

Light and easy listen

Took a little while to get into it, but once I did I really enjoyed it. Felt the characters were very relatable. Light and easy listening

Feel good listen

Great narrations. Feel good story with recognisable moments and characters you can identify with! Listen to it! :D

This book makes me want to love again

It's so uplifting and interesting story about 2 people can fall in love in a witty way.

Imagine how much we can know about one person without the benefit of his/her appearance. By the coffee cup in the sink, the clothes left in the rack, the book he is reading in the bed stand and the smell of her perfume lingered in the flat. It is just defined a new kind of romantic gestures when you are learning how to take care of one and another.

Leon, Leon, Leon... my heart can't stop humming his name.

Post-it notes replace messenger and bring the air of vintage into their daily conversation just like a slow dance.

One more positive thing about this book is it brings up the information of female's emotional abuses and I'm happy that contemporary now is doing a good job to convey controversial and necessary issues to readers.

And I must give the author credit for her well plot. It's quite simple but the series of events have arranged intentionally and rationally.

Slow start

Really had to push through to get in to the story. After a 2 month pause, I finally gave it another go and turned out it was surprisingly cute.

Loved this

This is such a funny, gripping book and it really
Boosted my mood which was much needed

Lovely, original rom-com with excellent narration

I enjoyed this audiobook very much. It's perfect, light escapism combined with the kind of originality that hooks a reader from the blurb to the "Audible hopes you have enjoyed this program," tagline. The narrator choices are both excellent, and both voice actors do an excellent job in bringing their characters to life with apparent ease. I would highly recommend this to anyone who loved a good rom/com, especially one with a twist - a genuine delight in this dark, uncertain time.

so much more than romance

I rarely pick up a book in the romance genre, and now I wonder why. Because. I. Loved. This. Book.
The synopsis gives you the feeling that this book will be cute and fluffy, but it isn't. This book deals with some heavy topics (phsychological abuse) and the author succeeds in carefully handling this topic without making is seem less problematic than it is.
Tiffy and Leon are both very loveable characters. Although Tiffy has been mentally abused and her self-confidence is almost completely gone, she still remains true to herself. She demonstrates this through her exuberant clothing style and she does not let her friends' or colleagues' opinions change this.
The way Leon deals with Tiffy's eccentric personality and her deep emotions is heart warming. Can there be more Leons in this world, please?

VERY ENGAGING AND LOVELY STORY!

This book was a lovely surprise!
Don't be fooled by the cover, it's not a romantic comedy. It has many funny scenes but it also has some possible scenes that may cause some discomfort if you ever went through something like this in your life (emotional abuse, abusive relationships). I loved the characters! Disliked Tiffy a bit at the beginning but, once I get to understand why she was the way she was, it changed completely what I thought about her. Leon has his problems too and he's not that sociable. Their interaction however is really amusing and sweet. I totally recommend this book.

WARM HEARTS ALLL OVER

Just the best, the best, the best! You won’t regret it, believe me! Just listen.

Love the story and the narrators

Loved the story, the characters, the development and the end. Particularly enjoyed the narrators, felt they for the characters really well. Totally recommend.
