This isn’t perfect but it’s a fairly fun HR. We wrote:
Caroline and Zachary are familiar character types. There’s no getting around that. But what Ms. Enoch does with them is – initially at least – fresh and interesting. Caroline’s ambition is very real and when Zachary comes up against her he’s forced to reexamine his own haphazard life choices. What he sees in Caroline is a woman who has set herself a goal and will do anything within her power to achieve that goal. Which sets up an interesting dynamic between them. How do they reconcile a relationship with her ambitions? How does Caroline fall for a man who’s life is as aimless as hers is driven? It’s an intriguing character driven story. That in and of itself was refreshing.
Equally appealing was the overwhelming presence of Caroline’s family. Her sisters would put Lydia Bennett to shame in their attempts to catch a husband. Seeing Zachary caught up in their machinations and then his turnabout attempts to redirect their energies provided a lot of the humor (as promised in the back blurb). Though I suspect the youngest is sequel-bait, her wry observations and practical outlook made for some of the best dialog in the book.

Patchett is one of my most beloved authors and The Dutch House is my favorite of her works. (The audiobook narrated by Tom Hanks is astonishing.)

Just Last Night is a wonderful tale of friendship, the complexities of adult relationships and the joy of discovering who you are meant to be and whom you are meant to be with. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a well-crafted book that is emotionally rich and satisfying.
