Even after they have broken up, we then go on to spend the last 20% of the book mostly on Roisin still playing detective and trying to catch him out, which did make her seem rather too obsessive. And maybe because I am inclined not to want to give narcissists undue attention, I wanted the story to move away quickly; it doesn't. If you’re a tropey, smut reader… good lord please do not read this because I will actually cry if I see below 3 stars on a review for any of her books because this is notttt to your tastes.
i just want to preface this by saying that i do think that the cover slightly misleads you into thinking that this is more romance-centric than it is. This though has been completely unenjoyable, somewhat shrill in tone (especially that awful opening), an absolute chore. I do hope in the next one, McFarlane doesn't spend the majority of the book focused on a break up or an ex, as she now has in her last two books.

Despite the better option right in front of her, an unexpected complication forces Lily to cut ties with Atlas, confront Ryle, and try to end the cycle of abuse before it’s too late. I’ve read many a book that claims to be laugh out loud funny and romantic when actually, it fails on both of those fundamentals. Roisin has been starting to see Joe in a new and not pleasant light and that there is much in Joe’s character and ways that she doesn’t like at all. Though there are some obvious growing pains and stress points in the group, and between individuals, there is also genuine affection and the friendships, characterised by witty banter and warm support, offer relief from the novel’s darker elements. When Roisin watches the first episode of Joe’s new show, she’s horrified, hurt and disgusted to see that he’s taken something that she told him in private, and splashed it across for the world to see.I have noted in the past that this author really knows how to end a book and this one is no exception.

As the group head out on a celebratory weekend away; tensions soar and relationships halt as incidents give cause to create a rift between them.
But when Roisin sees secrets she shared with Joe play out on the TV screen, she knows that between us means nothing at all. The leading guy of the story is a liar and cheater, and even the supporting characters are carbon copies of their common friends. Main characters in McFarlane novels almost always go through an upheaval, generally personal where they end up leaving a longterm relationship and needing to kind of start over. I doubt I'll ever find a reason to stop requesting (aka begging, which is what I did to get this early; and I waited, oh, four days before diving into it -- hello from March! But although Roisin is thrilled to spend a weekend with her friends, she can’t deny that something is missing these days – not just in the core group, which has some distance between some of the friendships that time and different levels of socioeconomic status have amplified.I really liked Roisin right from the start, though I'm glad I looked up the pronunciation of her name early so all the nicknames made sense. They’re all gearing up for a weekend away to celebrate an engagement, a birthday, and the premiere of her boyfriend Joe‘s new show.
The basic premise of the book is this: on a friends’ getaway, Roisin starts to suspect that her boyfriend’s new TV show picks closely from real life in some of its plot. The novel’s emphasis on female solidarity against gaslighting, narcissistic boyfriends might be cathartic for some readers, while the off-the-page sex between the eventual couple might not work for others. I was just wondering um okay, and then we shift to a teaching scene, her worry about Joe, and then her going away for the weekend. Die Charaktere des Romans sind so lebendig und charismatisch, dass man sich sofort mit ihnen verbunden fühlt. They go away for the weekend with a group of friends and watch the first episode of Joes new series and she sees that things reflect her life and other things crop up that haven't happen, but could it actually be the truth?She particularly thinks her and Joe’s relationship would only contribute to this, so she’s been mostly ignoring the fact that he doesn’t seem to like her, or Matt, anymore. 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 and the publisher who provided an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
