'About Last Night' was the book I read between some epic fantasies to give my brain the same sort of break that people do when they watch reality TV.
But please don't think that's me diminishing how much I enjoyed it!
My highlights were the relationships between the sisters - both very different, still with that competitive edge, but ultimately there for each other. Shae-with-an-E is an absolute villain of an ex that all of us have either had the misfortune of dating or helping our friends pick up the pieces after they dated them...I hated her and I think that was the point! We love to see women in charge, and the fact that this foursome was (mostly) unapologetic about their goals, drive and careers was refreshing.
The chemistry between Toni and Audrey flitted between hot, adorable and frustrating predominantly due to (as Max points out) the importance of communication. I like that Laura Henry didn't shy away from people calling Audrey out on her behaviour at points, we all need friends like that!
Ultimately, I will unashamedly look out for the next book to find out what happened between Willa and Greta!
