my favorite part about this book was the concept

DNF @43%

this maybe would’ve been cute if he didn’t have a girlfriend for 30% of the book… which is the majority of the part i read before deciding to drop it. i enjoyed The Switch by Beth O’Leary a lot more.

i didnt like the way this was written and i kinda hated how the writing format was different based on the dual perspectives (especially with the name-semicolons rather than quotation marks). the fatphobic comments bothered me and i didn’t like how it was off-handedly dealt with at the beginning. there were certain conversations that felt off. i find the flatshare concept cute but not when the guy is currently dating someone else and the girl constantly mentions her ex every other page or what felt like every other page

this dragged on for so long that i read it too fast because the only times i read at a fast rate is if i absolutely love it or im really not enjoying it. the conflict took too long to get there and i was left behind on the way. dare i say it, i'm actually getting tired of all the hp references especially in books published around the same time as this.

this is for when you just want a light romance to pass the time that doesn’t go too deep into real life
