Description
'The last thing I want is all these total strangers, who live literally inches away from me, knowing every last detail of my life.'
When a young woman buys her first flat it seems that all her dreams are coming true. Then she meets him. Overbearing, brash, and prone to spectacular gaffs, her across-the-hall neighbour is definitely strange - yet strangely attractive. But when an innocent prank goes horribly wrong the newly-formed friendship is pushed to breaking point. Only then do the neighbours realise they don't know as much about each other as they thought they did.
A vertical thriller for a time when a stranger is only one wall away.
