A very easy to read and engaging light-hearted novel. It is about Leah and other quirky characters that live in the house opposite her apartment. One day, Leah got the chance to get to know the landlord, Toby, and his tenants in the house and as she helps Toby to get his tenants on their feet again and face life (each is escaping life or not embracing it), she gets to know about herself and the man she likes.
What I like about the book is that it does not have a heroine, someone too tomboy or someone too girly/ needy or anything like that. People who seem normal but each has their weakness and the ability to blend all these characters and their struggles out of this stagnant phase in their life is what makes this book an engaging read.
