Last Night is the first book I read of McFarlane’s, but it most certainly won’t be the last! I absolutely fell in love with this story and the narration of our main character, Eve. I love how much I related, since I am closer to her age and also still a goth at heart. Going into this, I did expect a fun contemporary romance, and while there is romance and funny moments, this is definitely more on the serious side since it does deal with a lot of grief. As I said, there were light moments and I believe it balanced it out beautifully. I loved the romance and was very pleased with the direction it went.

I liked learning about her friend group and all the dynamics. It is wild how much friend groups can shift once feelings are involved. With relatable characters and development, this easily became one of my favourite contemporaries and I plan to work down the Mhairi McFarlane backlist. I also just have to mention that I am a HUGE Twin Peaks fan and loved the references all throughout the novel!

Since there is a major spoiler in the first half, I can’t go into much detail, but please pick this up and message me to talk about it! I am obsessed with a certain brother..

Thank you to Harper Collins UK and Netgalley for the arc! This title was released April 1, 2021.
