So office playboy Jamie has a proposal for her: they should start a fake relationship to make Dan jealous and help him win a promotion. Moving on is made even harder for Laurie because she and Dan work for the same Manchester law firm. Laurie's long-term partner, Dan, decides to end their relationship and shortly afterwards, announces his new girlfriend is pregnant. This moving story, interspersed with McFarlane’s trademark humour, transports you on an emotional journey – and a road trip up north – as Eve grieves her loss, reassesses her relationships, and finds a way to move on. It also introduces a prickly character into the mix. One night their weekly outing ends in tragedy, which leads Eve to uncover an upsetting secret which makes her wonder if she really knew her friend as well as she thought. Eve has held a flame for Ed for years, even though he now has a girlfriend. So overall, a mixed reaction to this book.Įve, Susie, Ed and Justin are a tightly knit group of thirty-something friends. But there were times when the characters didn’t ring true to me, and it felt they sometimes acted that way only to fit nicely into the plot. This arrival of the malevolent ex only added to my interest in the story. This story took a more serious turn than I was expecting, with the author shining a spotlight on toxic relationships and online abuse. But, considering their past relationship mishaps, she doesn’t want to get too close.
