Shari Low is an exceptionally good author. Her stories pull you in and keep you invested right to the very last page and even then you want more!. This book has it all, humour, friendship and romance.
A really lovely story set in Glasgow on New Year’s Eve, beginning at 8am, running right through until midnight. We meet a group of three 50 something ladies whose friendship has got them through the best and worst times of their lives. Midnight is spent in a Glasgow Italian restaurant that’s is family owned, with Dad Gino at the heart of the restaurant the restaurant holds lots of memories, good and bad for all our characters.
Shari takes us on an emotional rollercoaster, I laughed and I cried (only a little)
This book is brilliant, read it you will not be able to put it down.

There never a bad Shari Low book and I was delighted to be granted access to this just as I was about to go on holiday. Day one of my sun lounger and I devoured this. This story centres around Alish; her friends Gwen and Rhonda. Hogmany marks the day that Ailish’s divorce is finalised; and Gwen has insisted they go to the Italian restaurant that all previous Hogmany’s have been celebrated. Throw into the mix Dario who runs the restaurant and his family; Emmy; Ailish’s daughter who is worrying why her boyfriend is being secretive and her ex husband who has decided today is the day he wants to win her back! A riotous emotional and uplifting 24 hours in their lives is packed into this book; love it.

I really enjoyed reading this one! This was actually my very first Shari Low, and I couldn’t brag on her writing enough. It hooked me in from the beginning and I really didn’t want to stop!

I love Shari Low and I loved this book. The characters were so true to life and the storyline kept me engrossed from beginning to end. It’s 5 stars from me!

Thank you to NetGalley and Boldwood Books for my copy of One Midnight With Low by Shari Low. This is definitely a two boxes of tissues book.
I laughed and I cried along with Ailish, Gwen and Rhonda.
And assorted members of their families, all with their own stories that all came together at Midnight.
Feel good reading at its best. Curl up with coffee and chocolate and lose yourself in the delight of a new Shari Low novel.

What I need story. I enjoyed this book a lot. It kept me engaged from the very beginning to the very end. I stayed up well past my bedtime to finish this one.

This was a brilliant character read set during the hours leading up to Hogmanay told from the perspectives of four connected individuals. The book starts with an introduction to the characters which gives great background but felt a bit overwhelming until I’d started reading it when it all started to make more sense. Each character has been dealing with different issues over the past while and as the hours pass each gets nearer to a resolution. Ailish is still recovering from the end of her marriage two years ago after the discovery of her husbands infidelity, her daughter Emmy is worried that her boyfriend is being unfaithful, Emmy’s gran Minnie has been making secret plans for this Hogmanay now for some time and close family friend Dario fears devastating his father by selling his business. The stories are well intertwined in two hour sections, some parts I could predict but others were a pleasant surprise. The characters are all well written with solid stories and there were references to some characters from some of Shari Low’s previous books. I really like how much happens over such a short time frame and how well the stories weave together. Overall this is a lovely uplifting read.
