About this listen

"I cannot remember the last book I loved as much... a luminous, heart-achingly beautiful love letter to friendship. Knockout!" (Josie Silver, New York Times best-selling author)

International best-seller Mhairi McFarlane explores lifelong friendships, long-buried secrets, and unexpected love in a heartfelt, emotional new novel, perfect for fans of Evvie Drake Starts Over, The Two Lives of Lydia Bird, or In Five Years.

Eve, Justin, Susie, and Ed have been friends since they were teenagers. Now in their thirties, the four are as close as ever, Thursday night bar trivia is sacred, and Eve is still secretly in love with Ed. Maybe she should have moved on by now, but she can’t stop thinking about what could have been. And she knows Ed still thinks about it, too.

But then, in an instant, their lives are changed forever.

In the aftermath, Eve’s world is upended. As stunning secrets are revealed, she begins to wonder if she really knew her friends as well as she thought. And when someone from the past comes back into her life, Eve’s future veers in a surprising new direction....

They say every love story starts with a single moment. What if it was just last night?

"[A] book I almost wish I’d written, except that would have robbed me of the intense joy of reading it... the kind of novel that will have you putting everything else on hold so you can keep turning pages until you reach its sparkling, brilliant end.” (Emily Henry, number-one New York Times best-selling author of People We Meet on Vacation)

Very well written

Without spoiling the exact nature of the intense feelings the main character experiences, I have to say the author did Justice to the real life experience. It was a unique and interesting story populated with characters who could plausibly have been actual people.

I found one small plot detail to be hard to believe, but this in no way diminished my enjoyment of the story.

Brilliant writing and narration.

I absolutely loved this book for the quality of its writing and the beautiful narration. It is not a fast paced, full-of-suspension and sex type of novel but it was a wonderful story of loss, survival and growth through life experiences.

Not exactly what I expected…

But very good! There is a death which I was not expecting based on the blurb, and I wasn’t totally sure where the story was going, but I really enjoyed losing myself in it.

Even better the 2nd time

Just finished listening to this for the second time. I think I loved it even more knowing where it was headed. I love McFarlane’s books, and this is one of my favorites!

Heart achingly beautiful

This book tore me apart and then glued me back together. It was sad and gut wrenching but then it just all came full circle and turned into something beautiful from the destruction. I wish there had been some spice and it would 5 star all the way!

So good im speechless....loved it!!!

The story builds in such a intricate way. The characters are described so well. I felt as if they were people I went to school with. There were two or three significant happenings with the plot. I thought I knew what was going to happen.. then circumstances and characters changed. I enjoyed the book. I worried, laughed out loud, teared up and cheered when snarky people got what they deserved. I am new to this author. I have read and listened to three of her books in the last month! Best read in one day.. I was hiking during the first 15 chapters and sat listening to the rest while nestled in bed on a rainy day. The book leaves me pondering my friendships and the impact on my life.

Cute, funny, heartfelt

If you’re looking for romance where you’ll be squealing with delight, this is it. The main character is absolutely hilarious, the love story is unique, and it’s surprisingly emotionally impactful. The narration is spot on. While it’s not heavy or graphic, I will include a content warning that it does cover death, grief, and child abuse (and covers them well, in my opinion). Overall, I’ll be listening again and this book will stay with me for some time 10/10 loved it!

Wow

How can so many heavy topics tuck into one book? Just wow. McFarlane has officially surpassed Anne Bronte as my favorite author with this one.
