This will also perhaps remind us of some of the things we have picked up over time. Just a bit of fun.

Lease on Love ARC Review | For lovers of The Flatshare

I would like to DEEPLY apologize to this book for thinking it would be “discount ‘The Flatshare’ by Beth O’Leary.” People who loved that book will also love this one, but it is also so sweet and strong on its own.
