Last Night at the Disco is a wild ride through the 70s disco and rock culture, following the insane, wickedly brilliant Lynda Boyle as she narrates her part in the rise of fictitious rockstars Aura Lockhart and Johnny Engel.

Part Daisy Jones & The Six, part American Psycho, Last Night at the Disco thrives in its unreliable narrator, who assures us she can do no wrong and then sets out to prove it, taking back what she assumes the world owes her.

I found it insanely fascinating: like watching a trainwreck, but one that I didn’t want to get off! Lynda is narcissistic and really, really awful, but so charming that I couldn’t help but keep reading, wondering what she was scheming about next. The disconnect between her and the realities of her situation kept me on hook, and the mystery of who her husband actually was did provide me some sort of glee when I figured it out.

An unpredictable journey full of ups and downs, Last Night is funny, insane, and over-the-top in all the best ways.

What a ride! I can't remember the last time I read a book where the villain was the main character. Oh, how I despised Lynda Boyle! She's such a narcissist, possibly a sociopath. Much like how I feel watching, "The Boys" to see what unpredictable, despicable, things Homelander will do next, I had to keep reading this book. Ms. Boyle took us on a epic, often eyebrow-raising, journey filled with sex, rock-and-roll, with very little love. I enjoyed the hell out of this book.

While I loved the potential story, it’s execution left a lot to be desired. Sometimes an anti-hero protagonist is simply too unlikable and predictable to make the narrative worth it.

Last Night at the Disco is a wild, glittery ride through the 70s music scene. It follows Lynda, who's messy, ambitious, and totally unapologetic as she tries to claw her way to fame - first in New York then years later when she tries to rewrite her story. Lynda isn't exactly 'likeable' which made me struggle to connect with her early on, but as I got further in I realised that that's kind of the point, and I ended up loving that about her.

One of my favourite books is Daisy Jones & The Six, this book definitely gave me the same sort of vibe! Think Daisy Jones meets Almost Famous but with more grit and less glamour. It dives into friendship, betrayal, and the kind of ego that can either fuel you or destroy everything around you. It's sharp, chaotic and full of heart - if you're into character driven stories with a strong feminist edge and a dash of disco drama, this is for you.
