Wholesome Perfection.

Tiffy More desperately needs an apartment after her recent breakup with Justin.
Leon Twomey works the night shift and needs rent money to help his brother Richie.
Tiffy and Leon will be sharing the same apartment for months, they will never meet.

I LOVED IT WITH ALL MY HEART. Loved Tiffy right from the start, so sweet, and funny! Took me a little longer to open up to Leon, but maybe because I’m just as reserved as he is. I also can’t explain how much I loved Rachel, she’s like THE perfect bff. Always made me smile or laugh whenever she was around. Mo and Gerty were great. So was Richie. And Holly. On the other hand, totally HATED Justin with every fiber of my being, and my only complaint about this book is that I feel he wasn’t punished enough. (view spoiler)

I think all the hype and fame as one of the best romcoms is very well deserved. Endless supply of quotes and moments to remember by. Lost track of how many times this book made me smile, laugh and swoon, wholesome like a healing balm to the soul. Painful moments also included along the ride. The post-it thing was simply adorable. The banter was addictive. The slow burn was beyond amazing.

PERFECTION; like few others I’ve ever read. One of those books I would love to re-read like the first time.

-----------------------------------------------
PERSONAL NOTE :
[2019] [394p] [Romance] [EXTREMELY Recommendable] [“Leon has a limited number of words to use, by this time of day he’s entirely run out.”] [“Rachel’s chucking all attractive men in my direction... she’s just being an excellent friend.”] [T: Did you write Gerty is right? R: I forbid you to tell her. T: Screenshot already sent. R: Bitch.] [“Be good. Holly grins. Get the impression she has other plans.”] (view spoiler)
-----------------------------------------------

★★★★� #1. The Flatshare
★★★☆� 1.5 Tiffy and Leon's Christmas Letters [3.5]

-----------------------------------------------

Perfecta Sanidad.

Tiffy More desesperadamente necesita un apartamento después de romper con Justin.
Leon Twomey trabaja por las noches y necesita dinero para ayudar a su hermano Richie.
Tiffy y Leon van a compartir el mismo apartamento por meses. Nunca se van a conocer.

LO AME CON TODO MI CORAZON. Amé a Tiffy desde el comienzo, tan dulce, ¡y graciosa! Me tomó un poco más abrirme con Leon, pero eso es tal vez porque soy tan reservado como él. No puedo explicar cuando amé a Rachel, es como LA perfecta amiga por siempre. Siempre me hizo sonreír o reír cuando estaba cerca. Mo y Gerty fueron grandiosos. También Richie. Y Holly. Por el otro lado, totalmente ODIE a Justin con cada fibra de mi ser, y mi única queja con este libro es que no sentí que fuera castigado lo suficiente. (view spoiler)

Creo que todo el bombo y la fama de este libro como una de las mejores comedias románticas es muy bien merecido. Cantidad ilimitada de citas y momentos para el recuerdo. Perdí la cuenta de cuantas veces este libro me hizo sonreír, reír y conmover, sanador como una crema curativa para el alma. Dolorosos momentos también incluidos en el viaje. La temática de las notas fue simplemente adorable. El ir y venir adictivo. El ardor lento mucho más que espectacular.

PERFECCION; como pocos otros jamás leídos. Uno de esos libros que amaría poder leer como la primera vez.

-----------------------------------------------
NOTA PERSONAL :
[2019] [394p] [Romance] [EXTREMADAMENTE Recomendable] [“Leon tiene un limitado número de palabras para usar, para esta parte del día ya se le acabaron todas.”] [“Rachel envía todos los hombres atractivos en mi dirección... sólo está siendo una excelente amiga.”] [T: ¿Escribiste Gerty tiene razón? R: Te prohibo que le cuentes. T: Pantalla enviada. R: Perra.] [“Se buena. Holly sonríe. Tengo la impresión de que tiene otros planes.”] (view spoiler)

Lo leí en inglés. El título en castellano es "Piso para dos", al menos la versión que encontré en internet. Gracias Myryam! Supongo que no dejo ver mucho mi lado romántico, pero sí en el fondo creo que lo soy jajaja
