Catherine Alliott is one of my go-to authors. If I need to read something I know I will enjoy. I find Catherine's book like a loyal friend they never let me down.
In About Last Night we meet Molly, her husband has died leaving her with three kids and a dilapidated farm and a plethora of animals. When a relative leaves her a fancy townhouse, Molly's life path takes her on a road of adventure and self-discovery.
The book took me a little longer than usual. I did have a hard time connecting with the characters at first. I think because with Catherine's books I am usually in tears with laughter or cringing with ooh's and ahh's at the awkward moments. But with About Last Night I didn't have those moments, it wasn't a bad reading experience, it was just very different from what I anticipated.
The cover is very different from her others and I don't know if it would appeal to me if I didn't already know I loved the author. Usually, Catherine's book covers have the same sort of theme.
With a host of memorable characters, this is a book of self-discovery and learning that our past mistakes do not define us. I highly recommend you add it to your TBR pile along with Catherine's other titles.

This was a satisfying comical novel which had me chuckling to myself more than once. Very well written and not as predictable as many books of this genre tend to be. Real feel good book!

This was a nice, easy read. It took me a quarter of the book to get into it but once I did, I fully enjoyed it. I would definitely look to read other Catherine Alliott books in the future.

More like 4.5.
'Warm, witty and wise' said the Daily Mail and I couldn't agree more. Had me laughing out loud at moments and with some genuine gasps of shock, turned out to be a pleasant page turner. A lovely summer read.

Molly moved from London to a farm in Herefordshire with her husband and children but then he was killed in an accident. Molly struggles to make ends meet and hold the farm together but then a will reading from a relative on her husbands side changes things for her. However, there is someone living in the house she inherits.
It took me a while to get into this book but that's probably because I haven't read any Chick Lit for a while. Once I got past halfway I did start to enjoy the story, albeit find it a little bit predictable. I would still recommend this book for a summer read.
Thank you to NetGalley for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
