Thanks kindly to NetGalley and Bookouture for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This book was one of a series of romcom books I was reviewing so in that context, About Last Night was an okay read. I liked that it featured a queer romance but felt the spicy language felt more forced than authentic. Overall it felt a little meh - certainly wasn't one I devoured quickly - just kept going hoping it would get better.

This is the first book I’ve read by this author and it definitely won’t be my last. I thought it's was a cute and endearing queer romcom with both spice and plot. It gave me what I'm after in a romance, I would happily read more by this author.

I loved the beginning of this book. It started off strong with the one night stand and like 3 chapters of spice. I even loved when the next day she finds her one night stand at her new job. The writing was great and the story was interesting but it lost me in the last 30%.

things I didn't like:
- the miscommunication trope
- the lack of spice until the very end
- how we never get a conclusion with Audrey's crazy ex

Yall I wanted to love this one. I really did. But after the first 20% it just dragged. I picked it up and put it down no less than five times. Unfortunately this one just wasn't for me.

🌟🌟/5

I received an advanced copy for free and am leaving this review voluntarily. Thank you to NetGalley, Bookouture, and Laura Henry. ❤️

This novel tells the story of Audrey, a girl who, from the very beginning, we see is going to leave her current partner because she is in a toxic relationship. While her sister is emptying the apartment where she lived with her ex, Audrey goes to the bar they used to visit and sees her ex enter with another girl in a romantic way. Upon seeing this, she gets on stage and sings a breakup song. As she leaves, the DJ follows her, and they go out for dinner, later ending up at her place. But the last thing Audrey wants right now is a relationship, and she makes it clear to Toni: it was just a one-night thing, and it's over.

But when Monday comes, and Audrey and her sister arrive at the new company that has hired them, she can't believe the first thing she does is run into the person she least expected to see... and everything that follows.

This is a book with strong and well-developed characters. However, one of our protagonists exhibits some very "red flag" behaviors, and while the book addresses these, I think it's important to mention, as every relationship resolves differently, but it’s also crucial to know how to manage these situations.

An entertaining book that reads quite quickly, where we get to know two completely different families. I really liked how it portrays these two perspectives on life, their family, and personal situations. We get Audrey's point of view, as I mentioned, she has just come out of a toxic relationship, and then there's Toni, a girl who has always been with people for just one night and not in relationships.

I really enjoyed this sapphic romance. The characters were interesting and unique and the storyline was interesting. The sexy scenes were hot!! I can’t wait to read the next one in the series.

Cute romance! Characters are fun, side characters as well! I also enjoyed the storyline. I did feel it was all moving really fast, and that there were not a lot of cutesy fluff moments. This is however a personal preference.

Thank you to netgalley and the author for sending me the book in exchange for an honest review

Loved this! Flew threw half of it on a flight and couldn't wait to get home to finish the other half. Loved the characters and dynamics created between the 4 main characters. The only thing I thought was missing was a satisfying conclusion to what happened between Greta & Willa - that felt a little bit unfinished in my opinion.

I was really captivated by "About Last Night"! The blend of brilliant dialogue, relatable characters, and steamy moments make it a standout romance novel. Audrey and Toni's perspectives bring depth to the story, and the inclusion of their sisters' relationships adds an extra layer to the narrative. I was hooked from the moment Audrey stepped on stage to sing the ultimate breakup song right through to the find period. The endearing characters captured my heart and I can't wait to see more of all of them in Laura Henry’s next novel!

About Last Night is a fun lesbian rom-com with characters who have real heart. Toni and Audrey fall in lust and have an amazing one night stand after Audrey breaks up with her toxic ex. But she is starting a new chapter - new apartment, new job, new hair. Audrey is ready to tackle the world with Willa, her twin, but on the first day of her new project, Toni just happens to there - because it is her family's business. Hijinks and miscommunications ensue, but both Audrey and Toni are ready to make a new start. But will it be together?

This was a cute sapphic romance by Laura Henry. I think our patrons will definitely like About Last Night and we will be purchasing a couple of copies for the collection. Thank you!

Comedic and cute forced proximity sapphic
romance

Post break-up with her toxic ex, Audrey goes home with a beautiful woman for an unforgettable but definitely one time experience. Until she goes into her first day at her new job and quite literally bumps into her boss - the very woman she had a one night stand with.

An easy read with a good progression between the two main characters. I really enjoyed the dynamic between Audrey and Toni. The side characters were also very interesting. Kept me invested.

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.
