I want to give an in-depth, thoughtful review. Alas, I cannot. Tiffy and Leon were just two people who were put together through specific life situations. The flatshare agreement was so specific for example, (I dont see this as a spoiler but I'll use the tag 
When leon has days off where would he go? He works 24/7? He and kay split fairly early in the story but he and tiffy aren't  even close to being a couple until weeks after they break up. I doubt he goes to his mom's every day off he has. The weekends are one thing- its every other weekend but the days off are my hang up
  Another thing Justin and Tiffy's relationship sound extremely toxic and her friends actually agreeing to the "rule" 
to never bad mouth him
  should have been a major red flag. 
All and all if you're looking for a slow/medium burn with fluffy wholesome romance with a peaceful happy ending this is for you. The author touches on some deep topics: Abuse, neglect, gaslighting, manipulation ect. Check the warning tags before reading.
