The Flatshare

Product Information

Leon puts an advert on the internet and Tiffy answers it. Their friends are wary about the arrangement, but to Tiffy and Leon it’s the perfect solution: he will occupy the flat while she is at work during the day, and she will have the flat to herself while he works night shifts. Their lives and routines are as disparate as their personalities: Tiffy is a chaotic, impulsive, talkative girl who “panic bakes” when things get tough. Leon is shy, twitchy, awkward, introverted. It’s the perfect pairing for a romantic comedy. Working on The Flatshare and bringing Tiff and Leon to Rom-com life alongside the BRILLIANT Anthony Welsh was a dream come true.

That Jo Jo Moyes comparison couldn’t be more misleading. I’ve never read Moyes but my impression is that she writes tearjerkers. This book as not that. There’s a central love story with a happy ending and emotional justice so its a romance no matter how the publisher is pitching it. SusanS: LOL. I read a library copy too and then bought it when it went on that one-day sale on Cyber Monday. MaryK: Oh, I adored Tiffy. I loved her quirky sense f style and how much she loved her job and how good she was at it. I loved her openness and the way it was contrasted with Leon’s personality. I loved her kindness to him and to Richie. And her fragility with regard to Justin resonated with me. Not that i didn’t love Leon too—he was great. Wiseman, Andreas (28 January 2020).

One thing did surprise me: there was no mention of Tiffy’s family until the epilogue, when there’s a reference to something her dad said. I was startled to learn that Tiffy had a living father, and apparently a supportive one at that. Where were you all along? was my thought in response to that.)

I adored this book. I was so curious as to how the author would get the concept to work, but by golly she did it. It was so darned charming. Paramount Plus adapts Beth O'Leary's The Flatshare as first UK comedy". British Comedy Guide. 18 January 2022 . Retrieved 27 May 2022. In February 2022, it was announced Jessica Brown Findlay and Anthony Welsh would star as the leads Tiffy and Leon. Also joining the cast were Bart Edwards, Shaq B. Grant, Shaniqua Okwok, and Jonah Hauer-King. [2] I loved this book. The story unfolds as it goes along and you gradually realize there’s a lot more going on than it seemed at first. I wasn’t all that impressed initially because at the beginning Tiffy seems kind of shallow and flighty. I continued reading because I loved Leon’s POV. He’s an introvert who doesn’t talk a lot and his POV is full of staccato, abbreviated sentences. (They remind me of medical charting which makes sense given his profession.) This may be the first book I’ve read where I identify more with the hero than the heroine.

Tiffy is quirky and accepting; for example, she’s tall but open to dating someone shorter (Leon is tall too, though) and nice to the crochet lady. And she is gabby and social and warm.Playing Tiffany and Leon are Jessica Brown Findlay ( The Riot Club , Munich: The Edge of War ) and Anthony Welsh ( The Great, Fleabag ) It’ll be a definite change of bathroom size for Brown Findlay, who is best known for playing Lady Sybil Crawley in Downton Abbey. There is definitely a gap in the market for a new streaming series about being a twentysomething London enduring the city’s maddening rental market… and Flatshare could well be that show.
