Between Us
by Mhairi McFarlane
Thanks to Avon for the copy of this book!
Mhairi is a favorite author of mine, and Between Us didn’t disappoint! Roisin and Joe have been together for a decade, and when their friend group goes on a weekend getaway, they watch the pilot episode Joe’s new show… and Roisin sees a few too many similarities from their relationship in the show that make her start asking some questions about its integrity.
I stayed up so late reading this book - it’s such a page-turner! Roisin and Joe’s relationship is clearly imploding, and Joe is such a dirtbag — I was so anxious waiting to see what would happen! There was such a feeling of dread as Roisin is second-guessing herself amidst Joe’s words and actions. She’s trying not to impact the larger friend group since there’s drama brewing elsewhere within it as well. But as more and more episodes of Joe’s show come out, there’s hope as Roisin starts to be more sure of herself and take matters into her own hands. I thought the messiness of relationships was really well done. To me, it was reminiscent of a Josie Silver-like storyline where the characters are messy and real and raw and you can’t help but cheer them on and hope everyone gets what they deserve in the end.
