Great story and really like the characters. The mysterious story was really good, it kept you guessing and what would happen next. Thanks for a good read.

Usually when I download a book to my kindle I will read the opening page just to see how much the story will draw me in. Sometimes it's a few days,weeks or months before I return to read the book and occasionally I don't stop reading it until the end. This is what happened with Tabby & Kat I couldn't put it down.
Adam and Polly were great housemates but Polly was leaving and it all had to come to an end. Just how to do you find the perfect person to share with? How do you know if you've made the right choice? Tabby and Adam soon find out that their choice in a housemate would change everything they ever thought about themselves and push their friendship to the limits.
Along with the humour there is an aura of danger in this book as I feared for Polly's sanity and indeed her life which kept me turning the page and not wanting to put it down.
I loved the main character Tabby and her dysfunctional family back home, they were all so lovely especially her grandmother.
Everyone should have a Timothy in their lives, he always managed to say just the right thing at the right time. He had me laughing out loud and brought tears to my eyes, but I'm not telling you why.
The only person in the book I would not want to know is Kat and perhaps we have all met someone at sometime who is slightly like her.
This is one of those books where I really don't want to tell you any more about the plot because it gave me one surprise after another and I want the same to happen to everyone who reads it.
I will say that it was refreshing to have Adams adult brother James who has learning difficulties as part of the story. He was perhaps the most sensible of them all as he said things just how they appeared to him, straight to the point. His part was written very sensitively by the author where she showed us the caring, happy young man first before the disability. Loved it!

Good, quick read.
The overall story was great. I really felt for Tabby, James was a delight, and Timothy was awesome. I only have two problems with the book. One: I realize that lack of communication is the driving force behind most of the plot, but it got a little tiresome after a while. I just wanted to shout at the characters "Just talk to each other!" Two: The end was abrupt. Just boom, over. I can't say much more than that without giving it away. Maybe I was just so caught up in the story that I wanted it to go more in depth. Like I said, great story, great characters, but I feel like I can only justify four stars. Well worth your time, just maybe a stronger ending would have earned that fifth star.

No words
At first I wondered why this book had all 5 stars and now I know but it did start out as a slow read. It's a romance and somewhat suspense in one. Very life like characters. The only thing I didn't like is all the British slang that I didn't understand at first but it's an English author so it is expected

Chick lit meets Single White Female. Not at all what I was expecting, but still a good read.

I really enjoyed this book, great characters, bit of romance and some suspense added in, Few laugh out loud bits too and Timothy sounded adorable.
