Tiffy Moore, reeling from a bad breakup and in desperate need of affordable housing, stumbles upon an unconventional flatshare arrangement. Her new flatmate, Leon Twomey, is a hospice nurse working demanding night shifts. The deal is simple: Leon occupies the apartment during the day while Tiffy is at work, and Tiffy takes over at night and on weekends. They never cross paths, sharing only a bed, a kitchen, and a growing stack of Post-it notes. What begins as practical communication about shared space – garbage days, leftover food etiquette, and the ever-contentious toilet seat – gradually evolves into a deeper, more personal exchange. Through their written correspondence, Tiffy and Leon, despite their contrasting personalities and lives, begin to form an unexpected bond. They share vulnerabilities, offer support, and find themselves falling for a person they've never met. This charming, witty, and heartwarming novel explores the unique challenges and joys of finding love in the most unconventional of circumstances, proving that sometimes, the best connections are formed when you least expect them, and without ever seeing the other person face-to-face.
