I think a way to fix this honestly would have been to have the initial meeting of the friend group as the prologue honestly. The read is a bit more of a struggle and less easy reading and comedic than previous novels by the same author - and the ending quite quick - but it still worth a read if you like her novels and still better then many others I’ve read. This is definitely women's fiction (or chick lit if you started your tags thirteen years ago), but with a strong(ish) romance that shows up well past the halfway point. Das Buch bietet nicht nur eine unterhaltsame Leseerfahrung, sondern auch eine emotionale Reise, die jeden Leser berührt. Roisin is strong and knows her own mind; I admired her not wanting to be messed around by any romantic partners and the gutsy way she deals with Joe's indiscrete writing of his TV show.
Between Us: The biggest rom com of 2023" hat meine Erwartungen übertroffen und verdient ohne Zweifel fünf Sterne. Some of the issues I had are definitely based on my particular likes and dislikes so I would still definitely recommend reading this one!While I came to like Matt, and understood the basis for their connection, for me their burgeoning relationship didn’t have the sense of inevitability that is present between the couples in McFarlane’s previous novels, and the balance between the romance and angst wasn’t there. References to abortion and abuse are handled with a respectful touch and feel like an organic part of the plot.
He’s much richer than the rest of them now, he thinks nothing of dropping 12k (English pounds) on a house for the weekend, so they can all hang out and catch up and enjoy each other’s company. I read a Q and A with Mhairi McFarlane a while ago and she said she had to really plot this book out and you can definitely tell. Die Charaktere des Romans sind so lebendig und charismatisch, dass man sich sofort mit ihnen verbunden fühlt.For Roisin, the decision isn’t that hard, but Joe has to rush off so they agree to table it until he gets back. Overall Rating: ❤️❤️❤️❤️Heat Rating:Emotional Rating: 🙄😒😬🙈😂🤬😬💔💓😂💓😒🤬👏🏻💓🥰😢💔😍🥰💓👏🏻💔💓🥰*Thanks to NetGalley for the opportunity to leave an honest review. That starts her wondering what kind of man Joe is and if she can see herself moving on from their relationship. and nobody felt too caricature-like, everything was just very messy in the way human beings do usually get.
When Roisin and Joe join their friends for a weekend at a country house, it's a triple celebration--a birthday, an engagement, and the launch of Joe's shiny new TV show. She's not comfortable with his enamored feelings about celebrity, having no interest in the status or even potential wealth it will bring to them as a couple. Roisin (Ro-sheen for us Americans) is also a typical McFarlane heroine: Gorgeous but doesn’t know it, good-hearted, intelligent, and funny as hell.There's the core friend group, a classic staple in the author's arsenal; a longterm relationship going tits up, with a new love in the wings waiting to be discovered; and, of course, some messy familial dynamics to sink your teeth into. The one thing that I love about her leading ladies is that once they understand that the relationship is over (usually because the guy is a real baddie) the guy stays dumped despite the fact that he will usually be desperate to get back with her, because she is so awesome. And Matt, well it was lovely to just have my heart warmed any time that he was with Roisin, as you could tell that, despite how Joe was trying to depict him, he was genuinely a nice guy. Things start to go sideways rather quickly though, even before Joe’s betrayal of Roisin is writ large on the eight-foot-wide HDTV for all to see. Thank you to Netgalley for providing me with an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Great Deal
