THE SMASH-HIT STORY OF LOVE, FRIENDS AND FLATSHARES
Meet the residents of 31 Alamanac Road . . .
Ralph and Smith are flatmates and best mates. Nothing can come between them – until the gorgeous Jemima moves in. They’re both falling for her, but which one of them does Jem want?
Upstairs, Karl and Siobhan are happily unmarried and have been for fifteen years – until Cheri, in the flat above, fixes her sights on Karl. Why should a little problem like his girlfriend get in her way?
Sooner or later it’s all going to come to a head – and what better place for tears and laughter, break ups and make ups than Ralph’s party?

Ralph’s party mmmm
This is a rather silly book. Long winded and a bit childish. It could have been edited a lot.
The characters are entertaining though and I made myself finish it. I won’t be reading another Lisa Jewell novel again. One thing though I like Imogen church’s voice. She’s a good narrator.

Unfortunately Tedious
Thoroughly enjoyed several Lisa Jewell thrillers, which led me to choose this, but hard to believe it was the same author! Utterly tedious in every respect: overwritten (monologue rants/over-extended focuses), over-narrated (irritatingly over- voiced and some errors in interpretation of dialogue utterances), unlikable characters (impossible to invest in) and a thoroughly uninteresting story. I initially persevered, but ended up skipping last too thirds of book to final few chapters - and these were just as tedious...

Disappointed
I really tried but I couldn’t get into this. Excellent narration but the characters (to me) were really boring and uninteresting. Gave up and returned.
