That being said, I didn't love the characters as much as I did in The Flatshare, didn't connect with any one character and I didn't even understand the appeal of Joseph till the last three chapters of the book. None of the romances were compelling to me, and I didn't really understand why anyone was dating each other. It was a long time before I felt like I was actually enjoying reading it.
It was all a bit too heterosexual for me tbh. I don't want to compare it to The Flatshare, but I liked how The Flatshare was just about people; The No-Show is about cis women and the cis man that they want to have sex with.
I wouldn't recommend this book, I would just tell them the plot tbh.

Enjoyed the twist and I actually thought it worked quite well.
My only issue was that ideas/ characterisations for the characters were already very strong so by the time the twist had been revealed I found it hard to look at some of the characters differently.
I also found the women lost elements of themselves - like Miranda and what was the depth of Jane?
I still found it an easy, interesting read that wasn’t as predictable as I was expecting.
A super holiday read!
