Description
When moving on means moving out…
Surely there should be a rule book to guide you through the tumultuous twenties, or a ‘to do list’ at the very least?
Fresh out of university in Manchester and struggling to climb the career ladder in London, Flick’s devastated when her boyfriend dumps her with no warning and leaves her looking for a new place to live.
Being forced into a houseshare with three complete strangers isn’t exactly how Flick saw things going. But the residents of Carlisle Avenue are quickly on hand to help her navigate the ups and downs of the life she’s currently winging.
With their help, along with her big sister, Flick manages to focus her energy on ticking off items that she’s added to her ‘twenties list’ – the perfect bucket list for any twenty-something reclaiming their life post-break up.
And all is going well, that is until her boss catches wind of it and asks her to create a new magazine column documenting her progress. Enter Teddy, a sweet guy who becomes Flick’s friend after a tennis meet-cute. As the column finds its feet Flick’s in way over her head, somehow managing to fake-date Teddy to please her boss and her readers.
But the further Flick gets into twenties life, the more she realizes: maybe she’s not the only one following the ‘fake it ‘til you make it’ mantra.

Such a good feeling when you read this book. Flick is dumped and finds herself in a flat share, licking her wounds and trying to make her career at a magazine. Cue a very cute chap called Teddy, some fab housemates and lots of bruises tears to get over the ex. The life of a 22 year old is so familiar and well described that I relived my twenties reading Heartbreak Houseshare. It made me miss them and live vicariously for a few hours.

This was a cute book about moving on and finding love again. The characters were relatable and made me wish I had a living opportunity like theirs when I was their age!
Reviewer 964069
This was a great book. Flick the main character is likeable and you really root for her to get a happy ending after her heartbreak and past.. I loved watching the romance blossom and grow between her and Carlisle. I loved how no character was pointless and everyone had a purpose

I know from the get-go that I would love this book, and I truly did. It's what every young 20-something needs to read, and for those a little bit older it will certainly invoke nostalgia. This is a beautiful tale of heartbreak and sharing houses, as the name suggests, but also friendship and sisterhood, career paths, being in your twenties in the 21st century. Well written, with characters you can truly relate to, this is just absolutely incredible.
