When I picked this one up I thought I was going to be reading another run of the mill contemporary romance novels that would make me feel all gooey inside. Well I was wrong.


Just last night is about a group of close knit friends who have known each other since six form. They see each other all the time and go to a pub quiz once a week. 

That is until tragedy strikes.

The novel is more about loss of a loved one and how people deal with that sudden loss in their own way; of love and of what we think bring in love is compared to actually being in love and about not prejudging people and taking them for who they really are. Doing that you can fondly find some happiness and perhaps true love yourself.
