I enjoyed this book. Eve is funny and she has such a great arch. It's not always at it seems. Prince charming might be gaslighting you, the bad guy might be your happily ever after and loosing your best friend might keep her close to you still.

This was my first book by the author, as my friends kept recommending her older ones.
I quickly learned that Just Last Night is quite a bit different, and not just a romantic comedy, but also a book about death, loss, friendship and old problems.

I must confess I had a hard time getting into this one. At first the circle of 4 friends just didn't click with me. Their way of drinking, partying and joking around didn't feel like something I'd like to join, but rather made them feel superficial and shallow. Especially one early scene had me doubting I would enjoy the book.

However, you should never judge people on first glance, should you? Right at the start one of our friends dies, and we then get to read the aftermath of losing one of theirs. The handling of the whole situation does start to shine a light deeper into the characters, and you discover hidden depths and traits. And after about 1/3 I found they somehow had weaseled their way into my heart and I did care for them.

I especially liked that this book has a strong friendship at the heart. I wish there were more books were strong bonds don't always have to be romantic. Yes, there is romance in here, but actually it is more a sidestory and not the focus. I loved it.

If you are looking for something sweat and easy, this will not be the best choice.
If you are in for something that goes deeper, and has fun and jokes, but also a realistic handling of grief and loss, then this is a great choice!
