‘It was never home until you were there, Tiffy.’
This is one of those feel-good, warm and fuzzy books that you can devour in one sitting. Which I totally did.
The premise is simple: Leon is a palliative care nurse who works nights and weekends. Tiffy is an editor who works 9-5 weekdays. He needs the cash and she needs a room. Talk about two birds with one stone! But Tiffy and Leon soon come to realise that living together but never actually meeting comes with it’s own problems. Throw in an obsessive ex-boyfriend, a jealous current girlfriend and a brother in jail for a crime he says he didn’t commit, and you’ve got one hell of a story!
This book is 400 pages long, and I read it in one go. Well, 300 pages in one go, fell asleep, and the last 100 pages immediately on waking up. It was so good!
The characters were just delightful and so complex.
One thing I would say - I would have loved to hear from Holly and Mr Prior in the ‘two years later’ epilogue! How are they getting on? I guess we’ll never know.
Everyone should read this. It was heartwarming.
