FOR FANS OF ONE DAY AND THE FLAT SHARE
THE SMASH-HIT STORY OF LOVE, FRIENDS AND FLATSHARES
Meet the residents of 31 Alamanac Road . . .
Ralph and Smith are flatmates and best mates. Nothing can come between them – until the gorgeous Jemima moves in. They’re both falling for her, but which one of them does Jem want?
Upstairs, Karl and Siobhan are happily unmarried and have been for fifteen years – until Cheri, in the flat above, fixes her sights on Karl. Why should a little problem like his girlfriend get in her way?
Sooner or later it’s all going to come to a head – and what better place for tears and laughter, break ups and make ups than Ralph’s party?
Tropes/themes:
1. Love triangle
2. Forced proximity
3. Best friend’s current lover
4. Roommates

Another lovely book by Lisa Jewell
A nice easy listen but with enough substance to make me want to continue each evening.
Not as dark or shocking as some of her others books but a lovely listen with good narration. I also enjoyed the 2nd book which gave us more insight into the 2 of the main characters and how their lives played out.
I’m sad that I’m now running out of her books to listen to 😢

Relatable to when I was younger
I loved this book, its basically a trip through someone's 20s and the trials and tribulations many people go through at this age! you feel sorry for characters that you probably shouldn't feel sorry for. cringeworthy moments that you feel like you're there watching 1st hand. funny romcom well worth a read!

Good story - unfortunate narration.
Really enjoyed the story, but the narration was not for me. I definitely prefer my audio books just to be read, rather than acted.

Loved this.
Got off to a good start ( can't abide slow starts),
plenty going on but not the fashionable overkill of far too many twists. Highly amusing in parts.
Excellent characterisation by a superb narrator - best I've ever heard- she realistically bright the characters to life, some to hilarious effect.
