The Flatshare meets Me Before You, this book flips modern dating on its head and asks if you can really fall in love with someone you've never seen. CAN YOU FALL IN LOVE WITH SOMEONE YOU'VE NEVER SEEN Alice and Alfie are strangers. But they sleep next to each other every night.

Alice Gunnersley has been badly burned and can't even look at herself yet, let alone allow anyone else to see her. She keeps the curtain around her bed firmly closed, but it doesn't stop Alfie trying to get to know her. And gradually, as he slowly brings Alice out of her shell, might there even be potential for more
