![]() - Ei tämänhetkisiä Keskustelu-viestiketjuja tästä kirjasta. 4.5 Stars. While it is probably a misnomer to refer to a novel that has several thousand 4 and 5 star ratings on Amazon as an ‘under-appreciated gem’, that was my first response to Mhairi McFarlane’s Last Night. Neither this book’s understated cover art or the context established by its synopsis, convey the deceptive depths of the story or the sparkle and shimmer of the heart and humour to be found within. “I notice, once again, that company that’s not the right fit for you is so much lonelier than being happily alone.” Nothing draws me into a book (or movie) like whip smart banter, and this awesome foursome produce it at vintage levels. This Last Night friendship group all know each other’s dirty laundry (or at least they think they do!) and are not afraid to use it for conversational levity. Protagonist Eve though sits a cut above the rest with her wonderfully obscure yet insightful pop culture references and the depth of her dark humour. It is never ‘too soon’ for Eve, and this makes her first person narrative such engaging and thought-provoking reading.

Four lifelong friends: Eve, Justin, Susie, and Ed are playing trivia one night, along with Ed's girlfriend, Hester. When Hester asks Ed to marry him in front of the entire pub, Eve is devastated. It seems that Ed proclaimed his love for Eve years ago, and due to a miscommunication, he felt it was not reciprocated. The next morning, Ed contacts Eve with awful news. As Eve tries to come to terms with this news, she finds out secrets that he held from her. Eve tries to make sense of this, and also re-familiarizes herself with someone that was important to her in the past. Will Eve be able to move forward, and will she be able to come to terms with the secrets, and who she thought her friends were? The back stories were interesting, but I have learned that people usually are different than who we thought they were. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I love this friend group and I felt all of their emotions as they dealt with their loss. I hope there will be a sequel that takes us farther into the lives of these characters. Looking forward to reading more from Mhairi McFarlane in the future. Already requested Mad About You from the library. ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu
