"Mhairi McFarlane writes with a singular wit, charm, and emotional complexity, every word just right, every page brimming with delicious tension." -- Emily Henry, #1 New York Times bestselling author of People We Meet on Vacation "Mhairi McFarlane's voice is as clear as a bell--she makes you laugh, but she also makes you feel. I adore her!" -- Sally Thorne, USA Today bestselling author of The Hating Game "Fun and engaging but with thought-provoking twists that deepen the emotional impact beyond light romantic comedy." -- Kirkus Reviews "McFarlane balances sensitive observations on love, death, and friendship with an intoxicating sense of humor as Eve imagines Susie's witty asides in her head. Eve has a way with words and her ebullient narration delights. an engaging protagonist whose complex emotions keep the pages turning. [A] dynamic story of friendship, forgiveness, and finding love where it's least expected." -- Publishers Weekly "McFarlane has a charming voice, one distinctly British in its wry humor, whimsical turn of phrase, and vibrant sense of setting.

the novel itself is a dizzy delight, bursting with rom-com tropes.

What a luminous, heart-achingly beautiful love letter to friendship. Knockout!" -- Josie Silver, New York Times bestselling author of The Two Lives of Lydia Bird "McFarlane's distinct voice, mixing comedy with deep topics of manipulation and trust, never disappoints and will have readers eager for the next page.

Perfect for fans of Sally Thorne and Emily Henry." -- Library Journal (starred review).
