JUST LAST NIGHT BOOK SERIES

The build up to the climax is amazing – and so well described, it would make a brilliant film / TV series – it’s epic! You are given the back story of how he controlled her – it was really very emotional to hear what he did.Īnyway – everything then goes spectacularly tits up! It is so well written – and you are totally rooting for Harriet and her loyal friends – old and new. The storyline then follows Harriet’s relationship with her friends / Cal / her ex Jon – until everything implodes even more when her path crosses with someone else, this time, an abusive ex. Her path has crossed with Cal before – although neither of them realise that when she agrees to move in. The relationship ends (fairly spectacularly!) and she moves out, and rents a room with Cal. The book starts with Harriet living with her loaded boyfriend Jon.

Mhairi Mcfarlane’s moving Mad About You (out 14 April, £7.99, HarperCollins) explores coercive control” Just before I started the book, it featured in a Stylist article where Francesca Brown (who I frequently got drunk with over 20 years ago!) wrote: ” It’s also telling that some of the biggest titles in the commercially heavyweight genre of “women’s fiction” aren’t anywhere close to the fluffy romance stories of lazy stereotype either. Ĭan these two take a crazy risk, face the past and finally find a reason to stay?” Harriet Hatley is running away from everything.Ī dream house-share seems like the perfect place to hide, but her unlikely housemate Cal is no stranger to running away himself.

This one is, I think, my favourite to date (admittedly I say this every time!)Īnyway – for those of you who want some info rather than just buying a book because you adore the author – here it is:ĭriving each other crazy is just the beginning… Surely at some point the books couldn’t improve, surely at some point one of them was going to be a bit ‘meh’ – but I shouldn’t have been worried at all. I bloody love Mhairi McFarlane books – and every time I get one of her ARCs it whizzes to the top of my TBR pile (I recognise I’m an acronym w*nker at this point!!) However I was also a bit nervous.
