“will bring the drama and the messy era in full force”
I tend to be a fan of Mhairi McFarlane's writing. Some people may not like her books since it’s not really romance that she writes. It’s more of a women's fiction genre than romance. If you keep that in mind while reading any of her books, then you are truly going to enjoy them.
Her newest release, Between Us, will bring the drama and the messy era in full force. It will keep you entertained from page one. Between Us centers around Roisin's changing life as she begins her new journey after ending her long-term relationship. It won’t be easy for Roisin to end their relationship since they both belong to the same friend group. However, things change when Roisin realizes how much she loves her relationship. She doesn’t feel appreciated or heard for a while, so it takes a toll on her. And I admire her for realizing how unhappy she is in her relationship and how much it will take to break it up.
While I admire her strengths in bettering herself, I also love her messiness when she starts unraveling her former ex's secrets. It's a bit messy to read, but it’s realistic to read as well. When you break off a long-term relationship, you start to realize how much you gave and never gained back. And you will also realize the few details you haven’t noticed, especially devastating secrets. It’s something Roisin will discover as she forms herself again. It's been a long time coming.
Whenever you pick up any of Mhairi McFarlane's books, you will realize that she writes women's fiction best. Keep that in mind, and you won’t be disappointed. It’s not a romance book; it’s more women's fiction.
