Fun Friday The Flat Share by Beth O'Leary

 This situation as a ‘Flat share’ is very much a strange one. I have to ask, what happens in reference to days off, holidays, illnesses and the like?

What an amusing yet realistic ‘Voice mail’. Also a realistic reaction yes, a female so yes, now to tell ‘Kay’, but I cannot see that being a problem but I am not Kay. it is still a weird set up though.

Yes, Kay was listening. I don’t want to sound stereotypical but isn’t it the men that often get accused of not listening, and not the women. I don’t know why that part was even written as it could be deemed inadequately stereotypically unrealistic.

The logistics of the ‘Flat share’ situation, although still weird, is really well written clearly enough that it cleverly works.

This is an interesting book and I like it but I don’t like how the, she said, he said or I said aspect of the story using :. It doesn’t flow as it should. However, it doesn’t spoil the idea of the story so I was willing to overlook the terminology used.

This book is amusing and some parts made me laugh out loud. Even some of the not so nice parts had an amusing element to them. I loved it, I didn’t want to put this book down.

This book does highlight that not all relationships are as straightforward as they really should be, but it is all nice in the end.

Thank you for reading
