A beautifully written book by this brilliant author. Love, laughter, loss, rejection, sadness and community are weaved into this story, written from different peddlers over one New Years Eve. A great read.

Ailish Ryan was visiting her friend Gwen in hospital with their best friend, Rhonda. It was the one thing Ailish left her house for after her cheating husband left their thirty year marriage for a younger model. It was New Year's Eve and her final divorce papers had arrived that morning. Could she possibly join her friends for their annual Hogmanay celebration? When Gwen was allowed to come home, Ailish knew, for Gwen's sake, she could do it. The night at Gino's restaurant was always great fun; she hoped this new year was the same. Meanwhile Emma, Ailish's daughter, was having having heartache of her own...

Dario Moretti had taken over Gino's when his mother had died and his father, Gino, was grief stricken. Dario had worked in the family business in Scotland all of his working life, and Gino always arrived on Hogmanay to join in, talk to old friends, make new ones and count down to the bells. But Dario had major problems, ones he'd have to put on the table that night and he dreaded disappointing his father. As well, the elderly Minnie Ryan had a mission of her own that Hogmanay eve, one she hoped she could fulfil.

One Midnight With You is another exceptional read by Shari Low which I couldn't put down. I loved the characters (most of them anyway!) especially Minnie, and found myself having to put the book down to control my laughter at times. I've only recently discovered Shari Low and have enjoyed each and every book I've read of hers. Highly recommended.

With thanks to NetGalley & Boldwood Books for my digital ARC to read and review.

This was my first time reading Shari’s books and I loved it. I’m a huge fan of dual POV and this is multiple POV ☺️
The story is told over the day/night of Hogmanay (New Year’s Eve). The main characters are Ailish, her daughter Emmy and Minnie (Emmys gran)
Ailish is newly divorced, trying to embrace single life but not succeeding so far but this turns around thanks to her friends Rhonda and Gwen.
Emmy has massive trust issues thanks to her dad Eric cheating on her mum. Minnie is just fabulous, she’s totally focused on her Hogmanay plans, she doesn’t have time to deal with her dizzy spells and falls.
The other main focus is Dario and his restaurant which has shaped so many of their lives, since the pandemic he’s financially struggling but has so many lives/futures to consider, he really carrying the weight in his shoulders.
This is such a perfectly wholesome story of family, love, heartbreak, trust and hope.
Thank you NetGalley, Shari Low and Boldwood Books for this ARC, all opinions expressed are my own.

I always enjoy a Shari Low story and especially one over a specific timeline like One Midnight With You. Each of the characters we meet have had such changes in their lives over the past year and the 24 hours of Hogmanay will hopefully allow them to move on with their lives.
I really enjoyed how each of the characters was given a voice and that we were able to fully comprehend their emotions and needs. The story weaves between the four of them really neatly, each linking with the other as more of their histories are unveiled.
Minnie’s story was the one I enjoyed the most as she relived her moments at Gino’s over the years, although Ailish and her friends sounded great

This author has quickly become a must read for me. Every one of her books has been really good. They all take place over the course of one day.
This story centers over several people and where their life is on this day, New Year’s Eve. The book flows well as we get to know everyone. There’s joy and some sadness throughout this book. Definitely recommend, you won’t be able to put it down!

Wonderful!

This is another beautiful book by Shari Low. Taking place over the hours leading up to Hogmanay, also known as New Year’s to people in the US, several people experience events in the day. There are friends and relatives, all interconnected in some way to each other, and all the day’s stories lead up to midnight at Gino’s restaurant, a gathering place for many years.

I love the way this author crafts her stories, so much emotion and love woven in. Simple events turn into something so much more. The characters are so real I feel like I know them personally. I can’t say enough good things about this book, please read it!

Thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book, but my opinions are my own.

This was a fun, emotion filled book that had me hooked from the start. Lots of characters with flaws that make you love them even more. Each chapter is told from the POV of a different character that slowly weaves together a story of love, loss, friendship, forgiveness, and starting over. Absolutely loved it
I received an advance copy of this book in exchange for my honest review

I know when I get a Shari Low book I’m buckling in for a roller coaster read of emotions! This book had it all! Love, tears, laughs, ,friendships, but most of all a sense of community! I love the fact it’s set in Glasgow and I know where these places are. Loved all the characters and you always recognise your own family or friends in some of them!
Highly recommend this book but also all Shari’s other books as well! Makes you feel all warm at the end of it!

🌃Great community of characters: will this day end in celebration?🎉

I am a big fan of the way author Shari Low packs so much everyday drama and such fascinating storylines into a short timeline. In this case, it's New Year's Eve or Hogmanay in Glasgow where the story's set. Everyone's day ends up intersecting at a well-beloved, family owned Italian restaurant, with multi-generational families, partners and close friends experiencing their highs and lows on this special last night of the year.

Business woes, romantic problems, health issues and family disagreements run rife but, if you're looking for the upside, you get it, too, in a happy ending that takes you past midnight and into a New Year full of promise.

It's not my favorite of the many novels I've read by Shari Low but it's still warm, entertaining and poignant, emotional times alternating, to form a really enjoyable story.

Thanks to Boldwood Books and NetGalley for sharing a complimentary advance copy of the book; this is my voluntary and honest opinion.

In my opinion, Shari Low never fails to deliver a great story. Her books are always uplifting and heartwarming. The characters are absolutely adorable and feel so realistic which made this another addictive page turner. Devoured in just 24 hours i just wanted it to continue and find out more about all the characters after this story ended. Thoroughly enjoyable, i never feel let down by this remarkable author, one of my favourites.

Thanks to Boldwood Books and NetGalley for allowing me an advanced copy to read in exchange for my open and honest review. As always, my reviews will also be posted on Amazon, Goodreads and Waterstones and interaction on Facebook and instagram where possible.

Thank you NetGalley, Boldwood Books and Shari Low for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

One Midnight With You is a really unique story told over 24hours from several different perspectives. There are about 15 characters whose lives are intertwined that we hear about.

I have read 2 of Shari Low’s other books in a similar format and enjoyed them. It’s remarkable what can happen in such a short amount of time, especially when you consider a group of people connected like this.

The story seems so straight forward and clear from the start but there are several twists that keep you turning the page.

I wouldn’t consider this a typical romance, I would have said more Women’s Fiction but it doesn’t have a lot of focus on relationships.

I adored the tradition of celebrating New Year’s or Hogmanay together and now want to create a tradition like that in my life. The friendships in this book were something so touching and special.

Aw I love Shari Low! Her books are just so full of heart. I adore the Glasgow settings and dialect, I can relate to so much of it. And just when you think things are maybe getting a wee bit twee and comfortable, there is an unexpected shift in the story. She writes so realistically about friendships, we might not approve of our friends choices but we will always defend them to the hilt and be there for them.

Shari Low transports her readers into a world of love and friendship but does not shy away from darker emotions such as grief and jealousy.
The reader is drawn into the magic circle of friends and experiences their highs and lows, health scares and celebrations, relationships and endings.
I have yet to be disappointed with a Shari Low read, I am instantly transported to Glasgow and the circle of characters which usually overlap slightly in each book. One Midnight with you has alternating chapters from Ailish, her daughter Emmy, her ex mother in law Minnie and Dario, son of Gino who founded the ailing Gino,s restaurant where everyone gathers on New YearsEve.
This book is funny, sad , uplifting and absorbing, a must read if you enjoy life, living and friendship.

*"One Midnight with You"* follows three generations of women—Ailish, her daughter Emmy, and mother-in-law Minnie—through a single day on New Year's Eve in Glasgow. The story is set over 24 hours, divided into two-hour segments, as multiple characters face pivotal moments of loss, whether it be a job, a loved one, or a relationship. As the clock ticks toward midnight, they must make decisions that will shape their futures.

The novel is heartwarming and packed with emotions—laughter, tears, love, and anxieties—as the characters gather at GINO’s, their traditional New Year’s Eve spot. The book emphasizes the importance of letting go of the past to embrace the future, and despite the challenges, each character brings a heartfelt determination to find solutions. It's a feel-good read where even those who've made mistakes are genuinely likable, making it easy to lose yourself in their stories.

One Midnight With You is Shari Low’s newest release. This is my 5th book from her and I love her writing style. This is an uplifting book with many different characters you get to know through each chapter. Friendships , divorce, family, love .., this book has it all. Thanks to NetGalley for this early release in exchange for my honest review. To be published August 26, 2024.

This is another terrific book by Shari Low. There is a large cast of characters in this story - something that I usually don't enjoy and find confusing but this was written in such a way, with different ones having their own chapters, that it was so easy to keep track of who was who. All the people involved had their own experiences and memories of past New Years Eves, some good and others not so good and this particular year saw all of them facing different issues and dilemmas which kept me hooked on their stories and eager to see the outcomes. A very enjoyable book with nice, memorable people. I highly recommend it. My thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Thanks to NetGalley and Boldwood Books for the opportunity to read One Midnight With You by Shari Low. I am completely hooked on Ms. Low's "One" series and they only get better and better!

Shari Low's latest novel is a masterclass in storytelling, filled with richly developed characters and an engaging plot that keeps you hooked from start to finish. Although the extensive character list might seem overwhelming at first, the narrative quickly draws you in, making it easy to keep track of everyone and their interwoven lives. The way Shari intricately connects the characters through their individual journeys and a central event is both impressive and moving. Her writing is not only beautiful but also deeply captivating, making this book a truly great read. Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys a well-crafted, character-driven story.

I really enjoyed the way this book was broken into sections leading up to the big event at midnight.

I sometimes struggle with many characters but these all were connected seamlessly and had their own little story.

This was different to the other books that this author had written but I enjoyed it.

Thanks for the opportunity to review.

New Years Eve, three women, Ailish, her daughter Emmy and her mother-in-law Minnie all about to have their lives changed after the clocks ticks on to midnight.

A wonderful story of love, broken hearts and hope with long time friendships, disappointment and dreams makes this book, not to miss!
