Kissing the groom on his wedding day is not the best idea

Who's That Girl? by Mhairi McFarlane

December 20, 2021 by Sophia 1 Comment

I finished Just Last Night, but I apparently didn’t have my fill of Mhairi McFarlane, so I immediately picked up Who’s That Girl? (2016) in order to appreciate a little more of her writing. Like all of her books I’ve read, I enjoyed this one as well. McFarlane writes complex, emotional, fun, and entertaining romance novels. She includes some dark topics in realistic ways that make her characters feel more real and relatable. I plan on reading all of her books eventually. Edie is attending the wedding of […]

“There’s shock and then there’s grief, and there’s the simple tiring unending chore of life afterward.”

Just Last Night by Mhairi McFarlane

December 19, 2021 by Sophia 7 Comments

I have become a big fan of Mhairi McFarlane, and although I haven’t yet made it through her entire repertoire, I’m making progress. So, when I saw that Just Last Night (2021), McFarlane’s latest book was available, I snatched it up. I love McFarlane’s writing (even though she uses so many English idioms, I sometimes have a hard time understanding her). Although this wasn’t my favorite romantic story of hers, I’m very glad I read it. Eve is the main character. She is one of a quartet […]

Cute romance with deftly handled depth

Just Last Night by Mhairi McFarlane

May 17, 2021 by wicherwill Leave a Comment

Content warning: descriptions of [past abuse] Adam Driver, patron saint of ugly hot, is definitely the mental image I had in mind for Fin, who I assume is the cartoon dude on the cover. This book was…not what I was expecting and a pretty lovely ride (ha) nonetheless. In my mind, what makes for a good romance novel is a proper blend of growth and tropes which together “earn” the HEA. McFarlane appears to have the formula on lock and so is able to branch […]

But what happens next?

After Hello by Mhairi McFarlane

February 12, 2021 by Sophia Leave a Comment

I slid After Hello (2017) by Mhairi McFarlane into my reading pile as a little break. It’s a short novella and a follow-up to another McFarlane romance novel, You Had Me at Hello. Rachel and Ben didn’t have much time together at the end of the first book when they finally got together. After Hello allows them a slightly longer happily ever after. However, it’s hard to have a novel with no obstacles to overcome, so Rachel and Ben do face some challenges in this second story. Rachel and Ben […]

“Do nothing, and nothing happens. Life is about decisions.”

You Had Me At Hello by Mhairi McFarlane

January 9, 2021 by Sophia Leave a Comment

My old friend from school introduced me to Mhairi McFarlane’s books. McFarlane writes contemporary romance novels that don’t fit the typical romance formula. It usually takes longer for the characters to get together, and there is more emphasis on friends and family. I started with her latest novel, If I Never Met You (2020) before quickly jumping into Don’t You Forget About Me (2019). I thoroughly enjoyed both of these books, so it didn’t take long before I picked up another one by McFarlane. You Had Me At Hello (2014) is […]

Definitely my favorite new (to me) author

Don't You Forget About Me by Mhairi McFarlane

December 15, 2020 by Sophia 1 Comment

I enjoyed If I Never Met You so much that I knew I was going to read another book by Mhairi McFarlane very soon. And it didn’t take long before I picked up Don’t You Forget About Me (2019). I was not disappointed. McFarlane is on top of my list of favorite romance authors at the moment. Lucas and Georgina were high school sweethearts. Their burgeoning love is catalogued in the first chapter, and it is so sweet and innocent. The two are put together for a project at school, […]
