As with her last book, the focus in Between Us, is very much on a failing relationship, and whilst there is a new romantic interest for Roisin, who I liked, this aspect was just covered far too fast to feel any real connection to, and as such just didn't come off as believable or as a relationship to feel invested in. Don’t miss the brilliant and hilarious new romantic comedy, YOU BELONG WITH ME, coming June 2024 from the queen of romcoms. They go away for the weekend with a group of friends and watch the first episode of Joes new series and she sees that things reflect her life and other things crop up that haven't happen, but could it actually be the truth? The one thing that I love about her leading ladies is that once they understand that the relationship is over (usually because the guy is a real baddie) the guy stays dumped despite the fact that he will usually be desperate to get back with her, because she is so awesome.

They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. This though has been completely unenjoyable, somewhat shrill in tone (especially that awful opening), an absolute chore.I am a HUGE Mhairi McFarlane fan and so I am a bit gutted that this one didn't live up to my expectations.

As the episodes continue, Roisin questions her life choices and how she can trust anything in the future. It is pretty surprising and bad, and the book concludes in a hail of drama and confrontation: romantic, family, and adversarial. I do think there has been a change in her writing over her last couple of books, a move away from chicklit and more into women's fiction territory, and whilst I thought this worked really well in Just Last Night, it has left something a bit lacking in her last two books for me personally.I'm giving this four stars, the downgrade because so much of this was, I don't know, McFarlane flavored? This book delves into gaslighting, exploring dysfunctional and manipulative relationship patterns that blend into emotionally consuming family dynamics. Lucky for me I only ended up reading her release from last year earlier this year so I got to enjoy two of her books in 2023. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites. Some scenes really stayed with me days after reading it, including totally engaging scenes of Roisin handling disrespectful boys in her classroom.
