This book could have been excellent. However, at less than 300 pages, I felt like it was missing so much. I liked the characters and I enjoyed how different they were and how that was written. I just wanted MORE.

This book was wonderful and un-put-down-able! The exposition wasn't overly done, and I loved how we jumped straight into the plot. The chemistry between Toni and Audrey was so good, it had me giggling.

All the characters were great, Willa in particular! Loved the spice, the strong friendships and, of course, the love story. I laugh, cried, and swooned over these two.

Definitely recommend this one!

Unfortunately as much as I wanted to enjoy this story, it just wasn’t for me. I just don’t think I’m the target audience and found the sex scenes spanning 3 chapters a bit much. Too much detail here and not much detail in the build up of how they got to this point.

Thank you for allowing me to read and review this book however,

This book is queer and messy and all sorts of opposites attract cute. While Audrey is getting over her cheating ex, she has a one night stand with the hot DJ... who turns out to be so much more. Can they overcome their mutual hot messyness to find an HEA together?

Some of the dialogue was a little bit cringe but ultimately a fun sapphic romance Definitely more of a Christmasy read rather than a summer beach read

One thing about me is if there is a lesbian romance book I am going to find a way to get my hands on it and read it as fast as I can.

I think I liked this book so much because the characters are so relatable:

Audrey is strong-willed and a boss bitch that just left a toxic relationship.
Willa is a soft-spoken ride-or-die with no love life.
Toni is a nature-loving DJ dirtbag who's afraid of letting her family down.
Greta is a stone-faced businesswoman who has walls up to keep people out.

The only gripe I had with this book was how Audrey handled a very important conversation with Toni (word of advice to literally anyone, don't break someone's heart on Christmas Eve while spending the holidays in their vacation home??? )

Other than that, this book has some of the top romance tropes you could wish for - one bed, workplace romance, strangers-to-friends-to-lovers (okay, maybe I made that one up but you know where I'm going with it.)

Stop what you're doing and go grab a copy of About Last Night!

About last night is a dual pov romcom about Audrey, who just got out of an emotionally abusive relationship, and hooks up with Toni. The Monday after they hook up, they realize that they work together, more specifically that Toni's sister hired Audrey and her sister to work for them on a contracted project. Now they have to navigate the sexual tension and awkwardness between them while trying to remain professional.

The book is just a little over 200 pages which must be why the author prioritized major plot points over the seemingly minor ones and that made the book less enjoyable for me. A lot of Audrey and Toni's relationship and conversations progressed off-page and left way too much for the reader to interpret. I'd also have loved to see a little bit more about their other relationship dynamics, with siblings, parents etc, not so much that it takes away from Toni and Audrey but enough that we know more about them as individuals.

I really enjoy dual POV in romance books, so I really appreciated having that in this book. I preferred Toni over Audrey, but Max was probably my favourite character overall. I thought the author did a great job making us hate Shae immediately as well.

The writing was a bit stilted at times and the pacing was a little off. Since the majority of it is between around the holidays, I do wish they would have just fully leaned into that more.

Overall it was a good read if you are looking for a cute, quick sapphic romance.

I wanted to love this book but I just didn’t. I don’t think that this fulfilled the comedy half of the romcom genre at all. In fact, I felt as though it was more on the corny, cliche side of humor….

At times, the sapphic language felt forced and as though it were throwing the whole kitchen sink of terminology at the reader to show it’s a book about lesbians. I wish it was more focused on being a book about love than specifically lesbian love because we the readers know that this is a romance between two women already. I also think focusing on it from this angle would have allowed the characters to be more fleshed out because it seemed as though they were either with or thinking about each other with little life and personality outside of the relationship. Girls need separate lives! The pacing of the story was the saving grace for this book. Thank you for the opportunity to read.

About Last Night is a sapphic story about Audrey who leaves a toxic relationship and has a one night stand with Toni, a woman she has had her eye on at a bar she went to with her ex. The one night stand immediately feels a little more than that but she’s not ready to move on. She then starts her new job as a contractor with her sister to find that Toni just started working at the same place, her family’s business. They both have to try to navigate their feelings while staying professional.

The majority of the romance books I’ve read tend to get steamy at the end, but this was the opposite, it started super steamy and then fizzled a little as the story went on. I think for me, the immediate spiciness was a bit of a shock only to have it not continue through most of the book. There were multiple questions that went unanswered at the end of the book, I’m assuming leaving the door open for a second book potentially from Audrey’s sister Willa or from Toni’s sister Greta’s POV which I would read, but I potentially would have read it even if one or two of my main questions had been answered.

3 stars.

I received an ARC from NetGalley for my honest review.

This is a fun read, but maybe it's time romance novels stopped making the timeline from first interaction to wanting to spend the rest of their lives occur in the space of two months. Audiences know better now. Call it an infatuation with potential, not a happily ever after - or give the relationship a longer time frame to develop.

First and foremost, always a big thank you to NetGalley for the advanced copy of this book. You guys are always gifting me fun new things to read and this one didn’t disappoint!

This was a cute and fast paced love story. Always nice to break up some heavier reads with uplifting ones like this. There was quite a bit of cheese and def some spice in here, but it was a fun quick read.

To start off with what I liked here, the spice was very well written and hotttt. To the point that I didn't mind a sex scene spanning three chapters, and maybe it should have been four or five (lol). The chemistry between Audrey and Toni was undeniable. That being said, their actual dialogue often felt stunted and awkward. The insta-love was also strong, and it felt like there was very little actual development in the relationship. However, I loved Toni and this was a fun read!

Dnf @ 10% • I feel like I’m the wrong audience for this book and I wasn’t captivated, I see that it has potential but not for me unfortunately. Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book!

Thank you NetGalley and publisher for this arc!!

What a great book! I wasn’t sure if I was going to like it and it did start a little slow but it’s really good!! I enjoyed it more than I thought I would! I loved the characters and they worked so well together. Great writing style also.

Just finished About Last Night by Laura Henry, an ARC read that absolutely warmed my heart. This LGBTQ romance was the sweetest story, filled with moments that made me smile and characters I genuinely cared about.The romance between the main characters was so beautifully written. Their chemistry was off the charts, and the way their relationship developed felt incredibly real and heartfelt. I found myself rooting for them from the very first page.But what really stood out to me was the amazing portrayal of sisterhood and friendship. The bond between the sisters in the book was so strong and supportive, it added an extra layer of depth to the story. The friendships were equally heartwarming, showing how important it is to have people in your life who love and support you unconditionally.This book was a perfect blend of love and camaraderie, making it a delightful read from start to finish. If you’re in the mood for a sweet romance with a side of strong, supportive relationships, About Last Night is the perfect pick.

I really really wanted to love this book. While it was a decent premise, and had nice grammar (which is very important to me!), this book felt very much like a first draft of an author's first novel. I loved the WLW themes everywhere, the representation, and the resolution, but it all felt a bit juvenile to me. Overall it was still a nice read, just not a top fave. But I'd definitely give the author another shot!

this was a perfectly serviceable rom com with some workplace romance and some great steamy scenes, but nothing about it stuck out as exceptional to me. the characters were likeable, but not incredibly interesting. this is a quick paced romance, we hop right into the relationship with very little build up. despite not being openly a holiday romance, this does take place around the holidays and i definitely did enjoy those vibes.

'About Last Night' was the book I read between some epic fantasies to give my brain the same sort of break that people do when they watch reality TV.
But please don't think that's me diminishing how much I enjoyed it!

My highlights were the relationships between the sisters - both very different, still with that competitive edge, but ultimately there for each other. Shae-with-an-E is an absolute villain of an ex that all of us have either had the misfortune of dating or helping our friends pick up the pieces after they dated them...I hated her and I think that was the point! We love to see women in charge, and the fact that this foursome was (mostly) unapologetic about their goals, drive and careers was refreshing.

The chemistry between Toni and Audrey flitted between hot, adorable and frustrating predominantly due to (as Max points out) the importance of communication. I like that Laura Henry didn't shy away from people calling Audrey out on her behaviour at points, we all need friends like that!

Ultimately, I will unashamedly look out for the next book to find out what happened between Willa and Greta!

Audrey faces an intense breakup and does so at her local lesbian bar - the bar where Toni so happens to work. After an impressive performance, Toni follows Audrey and a complicated relationship begins.
