Just Last Night by Mhairi McFarlane

emotional sad tense medium-paced

3.5

Fair warning: this isn’t a book about AFTER a friend dies. This is a book about a friend dying AND what happens after. Very emotional to read about finding out about the death of a friend and all the death admin - identifying the body, planning and attending the funeral, etc.. The first half of the book is written so well, the grief and details described so well, I felt crushed. This is a tear jerker. The last third focused less on grief and more on the rest of the story, and I enjoyed it. I was so proud of how Eve handled her relationship with Ed - so few books in this genre get that honest and introspective. I still love MacFarlane’s skill as a writer.
