Rating: 9/10

So, personally I loved this book. I thought it was a beautiful work of fiction. It was romantic, but not without being realistic and cynical. The story follows Francesca, a gallery owner who after a breakup is forced to search for roommates. Eileen, a young teacher, Chris, a divorced father with an addict ex-wife, and Marya, a widowed chef, join Francesca in her house. The story follows the four as they become friends, not just roommates, and through their difficulties over the course of a year. An excellent work of realistic fiction, I would definitely recommend this beautifully written book.
