      Tiffy a Leon sa delia o byt, dokonca aj o posteľ. Tiffy Moorová si po nepríjemnom rozchode s priateľom hľadá nové bývanie. Čo najrýchlejšie a čo najlacnejšie. Lenže ponúkané londýnske byty sú príliš drahé a so svojím nízkym príjmom pomocnej editorky si ich nemôže dovoliť. Je taká zúfalá, že odpovie na inzerát, v ktorom sa hľadá spolubývajúci. Leon pracuje na nočné zmeny v hospici a byt vtedy nepotrebuje. Tiffy by ho teda mohla využívať v noci aj cez víkendy. Leon bude doma len v čase, keď sa ona bude zdržiavať v práci. V skutočnosti sa teda nikdy nemusia stretnúť. Tiffy a Leon si začnú nechávať odkazy – najprv o tom, kedy sa odvážajú odpadky, postupne sú však odkazy srdečnejšie, jeden druhému nechávajú jedlo či koláče, debatujú o všeličom možnom. Hoci sú rozdielni, čoskoro sa spriatelia. A možno medzi nimi vznikne aj niečo viac. Ibaže zaľúbiť sa do svojho spolubývajúceho asi nie je dobrý nápad, najmä ak ste sa s ním nikdy nestretli!

    • What if your roommate is your soul mate? A joyful, quirky romantic comedy, Beth O'Leary's The Flatshare is a feel-good novel about finding love in the most unexpected of ways. Tiffy and Leon share an apartment. Tiffy and Leon have never met. After a bad breakup, Tiffy Moore needs a place to live. Fast. And cheap. But the apartments in her budget have her wondering if astonishingly colored mold on the walls counts as art. Desperation makes her open minded, so she answers an ad for a flatshare. Leon, a night shift worker, will take the apartment during the day, and Tiffy can have it nights and weekends. He'll only ever be there when she's at the office. In fact, they'll never even have to meet. Tiffy and Leon start writing each other notes - first about what day is garbage day, and politely establishing what leftovers are up for grabs, and the evergreen question of whether the toilet seat should stay up or down. Even though they are opposites, they soon become friends. And then maybe more. But falling in love with your roommate is probably a terrible idea...especially if you've never met.
