Loved this book and couldn’t put it down. Such lovable characters and a unique plot for a romantic book. I couldn’t put it down and would read again!

I didn't like the writing style and there were far too many side plots and characters introduced.  I can appreciate unusual or quirky writing, but it just didn't work for me here.

I loved this! The plot beyond the romance didn’t feel forced, which I feel happens in a lot of novels like this. Just a delightful read.

Forced to share a bed is one of my favorite guilty pleasure love story troupes, and this book did it perfectly!
A really fun, chaotic slow burn. I loved that each character had a couple of side stories aside from the romance and they both felt like real people with believable dialogue. The post it notes were cliche but cute and I loved the way the author brought in heavier themes without feeling overwhelming.
Absolutely loved this and can't wait to read more of her work!

It took me a little while to fall in love with this charming, sweet and joyous book and I worried that it was too light but before I knew it I was head over heels. It’s Bridget Jones’s Diary and The Rosie Project meets Me Before You and it’s delightful. Tiffy is emerging from an emotionally abusive relationship and watching her find herself again, make professional gains and develop feelings for her flatmate Leon is lovely. Leon (who may well be a feminist fantasy) is dealing with his brother’s incaceration, the damage of his mother’s relationships and his inability to commit and watching him emerge from the fog thanks to Tiffy is lovely. Basically, if you want a feel good, sweet book that does have some weight to it then this is the one. Also, I want to see the movie of this NOW.
