Romances often have these subplots that you can see coming from a mile away, but the Flatshare does it in a really nice way, the surrounding supporting characters are actually really enjoyable as well as their relationships with the mmc / fmc. This novel does a good job at having a very sweet, touching (and kind of slow burn) romance between its main characters whilst also addressing pretty dark themes (abuse, manipulation). It was a very light-hearted read that I'm really glad I picked up! the whole plot and romance of this book being created throughout post it notes that turn into love letters was the best thing to come out of this book
