This was quite a lovely story with a unique premise. Tiffy, an editorial assistant at a small publishing house, needs to move out of her ex's flat and into something cheap. Leon, a hospice nurse, works nights and needs extra cash to help his falsely imprisoned brother. He posts an ad offering to share his flat--he'll only be there 9AM-6PM weekdays (weekends he's at his girlfriend's place, though she's not in the picture for long). Though they agree to share the flat, Tiffy and Leon don't meet for months. They do, however, communicate through post-it notes in a fun and quirky way. Tiffy is like a big ball of sunshine--with a shadowy side. As the book progresses, she comes to a serious realization about her previous relationship. Leon is more introverted, which shows in the way his chapters are written, but his humor and kindness still show through. I really enjoyed this one and hope O'Leary plans to write more of the same.
