FOR FANS OF ONE DAY AND THE FLAT SHARE
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?
Tropes/themes:
1. Love triangle
2. Forced proximity
3. Best friend’s current lover
4. Roommates
