Yet the most unexpected twist of all is an old friend, who is suddenly there for Roisin in ways she never knew she needed. All of her thoughts on Joe, her friends Meredith, Gina, Matt, Dev, her mother, her brother, her father, etc. We’ve all been there either a relationship, a friendship, a career, and thought “gosh is this really where I want to be? References to abortion and abuse are handled with a respectful touch and feel like an organic part of the plot.

I loved the struggle of keeping a friendship group together, through the decade of being in your twenties and then into your thirties. I do hope in the next one, McFarlane doesn't spend the majority of the book focused on a break up or an ex, as she now has in her last two books.I think this is because I didn't particularly like them as a group of characters and the storyline just wasn't for me.

I question as I usually do whether the male characters would describe their emotional states as candidly as they do but this is a good read and recommended. You know it’s going to be good, because all of her books are good, so you can just kind of relax into reading it. While I sign up for her stuff because I love the friend groups and actual plot with a side of romance thrown in, maybe I read this too soon after Mad About You as there were several similarities in the goings on with those two releases. That is always the main character coming to terms with upheaval and change, generally from a break up of a long term relationship but sometimes there are other issues at play as well, like a past trauma that still overshadows them in the present, or the loss of a loved one and grief, etc.Die Handlung ist einfühlsam und gleichzeitig humorvoll, was eine einzigartige Mischung schafft, die das Lesen zu einem unvergesslichen Erlebnis macht.

I liked that while she turns to Gina and Meredith for advice, and then to Matt for help, they all support her while also maintaining a realistic tone.For all ebook purchases, you will be prompted to create an account or login with your existing HarperCollins username and password. Some of the issues I had are definitely based on my particular likes and dislikes so I would still definitely recommend reading this one! With their friends watching Joe's new tv show, she realizes that Joe took something she told him and put it in the show. Roisin has moved on and eventually starts to see one of The Brian Club in a new light, someone that has been at odds with Joe for years.

Even after they have broken up, we then go on to spend the last 20% of the book mostly on Roisin still playing detective and trying to catch him out, which did make her seem rather too obsessive.The provocative opening takes a dark turn when Lily receives a warning about Ryle’s intentions from his sister, who becomes Lily’s employee and close friend. Thank you to Netgalley for providing me with an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
