THE SMASH-HIT STORY OF LOVE, FRIENDS AND FLATSHARES TURNS 25

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?

Tropes/themes:

1. Love triangle
2. Forced proximity
3. Best friend’s current lover
4. Roommates

Not my own social scene, but (somewhat abhorrently !) intriguing to observe anonymously

Loved it in 1999 and still love it now.

Long gone was the paperback book bought at LGW WH Smith on the way to BGI 1999. This book made me fall in love with Lisa Jewell’s writing and have read everyone since. I feel a reread of Vince and Joy is up next. You’ll love this book, I know I do very much.
