About this deal

But where it would have been so easy to completely villainize Hester, and whilst she is still a piece of work, by telling the story as she does, McFarlane still managed to lend her some sympathy. Some reviews have commented that there wasn't really much of a love story here, and I can appreciate maybe why they've felt that way, but I actually disagree. its about grief, people showing their true colours, acceptance and forgiveness, and finding the strength to move on.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. I love the way it’s written with witty Eve talking to the reader which makes you feel her emotional turmoil more deeply. It is totally justifiable angst that comes about because Eve, the main character in this story, has been living a bit of a false life, not really confronting the reality of her relationships or her life choices. Before adding this book to my tbr-list, I was already familiar with this author, as I have read 'Don't You Forget About Me' (yes, the main reason I read that book was because of the title) about 3 years ago and I enjoyed it.At its heart this book is about friendship, and I loved how McFarlane explores these 4 characters and there friendship over the years, with the ups and downs. When this is discovered a decade later, Eve has a semi-breakdown and Hester becomes annoyed - so Ed ends their engagement. Since I went into this one blind, I’m going to keep this real short and sweet and not spoil things for any of the rest of you (especially as I’ve just read the actual book blurb and the storyline isn’t spelled out there either). Starting this review with being completely honest: I wouldn’t say this was or would be a 5 stars read to a lot of readers, but I personally can’t seem to bring myself rating this lower or not round up to a full rating. An unrequited love, of sorts, especially since he is in a long term relationship with someone Eve really doesn't like.

Ebooks fulfilled through Glose cannot be printed, downloaded as PDF, or read in other digital readers (like Kindle or Nook). With good reason; This book was amazing, with lively characters, funny dialogues, beautiful language and a wonderful story. The entire time I read this story I kept feeling like I should have been more annoyed with the eternal misery of the main character, but I wasn't. But in this book's case, it was actually the synopsis that captured my interest and made me want to read it. Susie again, I think was handed really well, as there are things revealed about her that could have made her completely unsympathetic and yet that is not the case.I wanted more of an emphasis on Eve and Suzie’s relationship and Eve’s grieving process, whereas I felt the book focused a lot on the romances with the male characters. With thanks to NetGalley and especially to Harper Collins, Harper Fiction for the much appreciated arc for an honest review.
