i have read and loved all Cecelia Ahern's books and this one didnt' disappoint.

This was a little different from some of the others as a little more twisty but was gripping and easy to read like all her other books.

Enjoyed it

A good book with several twists to keep you guessing. I love Cecilia Ahern’s books and this was another good one!

A different style of writing - was more of a mystery book
It was an interesting concept
The main character, Dr Enya Pickering seems to have it all, a loving husband and a young son.
Her life is turned upside down one fateful night and the decisions she made that night have repercussions that forces her to leave her home and take up a new job in remote rural Ireland
But her actions are haunting her - the guilt, the infidelity and the choices she made
It’s raw and powerful, exploring trauma, resilience and the transformative power of nature
However I did find Dr Enya frustrating - her self-pity and “woe is me” attitude
All in all it’s a very thought provoking read and would generate excellent book club discussions
Thanks @official_ceceliaahern @harpercollinsuk & @netgalley for the interesting read

"One Night" is a gripping and emotional story that keeps you hooked from the very first page. Her unraveling marriage and quest for self-discovery drive the narrative, set against the backdrop of a remote country town that becomes both her sanctuary and a place of reckoning.

The writing is vivid, especially in describing Enya's internal struggles and the profound impact of the night in the rain. The themes of freedom, and personal transformation are explored with depth and sensitivity.

While the pacing is generally solid, the emotional intensity of the story can be overwhelming at times, and some moments may feel predictable. Still, the book delivers a satisfying and thought-provoking conclusion that leaves you reflecting on its characters and themes long after you turn the last page.

Overall, *One Night* is a compelling read with strong character development and a heartfelt message about finding strength in difficult times. A highly recommended pick for fans of character-driven stories.

I usually love Cecilia’s books but for some reason I couldn’t get into this one. The story seemed dragged out and I struggled with it. However I look forward to reading the next book by this author. Thank you for my ARC.

2.5*
I have mixed feelings about this book. It follows the experiences of a doctor, Enya Pickering, after she gets caught up in a hit and run incident on a remote road outside Dublin on a wet winter night. I've enjoyed other Cecilia Ahern novels and this one delivered some of her trademark features: she creates vivid scenes and scenarios that get you right into her characters' lives, exploring their emotions, relationships and motivations under difficult circumstances. I hate the term 'women's fiction' but this would fit the bill. It does what it says on the tin, essentially. For this reason, I'd give this 3-4 stars because it does deliver on expectations in many ways, and no doubt many of her avid fans will like this.

As for what pulls my rating down, it's the story. It felt contrived and rather heavy handed. As I read, I could almost picture the story broken down into index cards pulled out one at a time to construct the narrative, with none of the individual pieces feeling quite convincing. Two threads - the whole tree thing (avoiding spoilers) and her mother's letters - in particular were just cloying and felt like filler. In short, I observed the story unfold, rather than getting caught up into it.

In my view, fiction lives or dies on suspension of disbelief. It's the trump card in the pack. This time, it wasn't played.

Storms have always given me mixed emotions- a scared anticipation and an excited thrill. Reading this book was just like sitting through a storm, there were highs and lows, thrills and scary bits. It was a totally enthralling read. Really enjoyed it and would totally recommend it.

This story of a traumatised GP who is caught up in an accident in bad weather was okay but did not engage me as much as other novels by this author. The mystery behind the trauma was not that surprising and I zoned out in parts.

Thanks for the opportunity to read and review an advance copy of this novel.

Ahern's In a Thousand Different Ways was the first book I read by her, and I enjoyed it enough to want to read another of her books.

Despite the unpopular present-tense narrative, along with slapdash editing, this had me hooked to the end. Ahern managed to toss my smugness all over the place. Within only a few pages, I thought, oh, it's obvious, I know how this is going to pan out, but then Ahern throws you curveballs and twists and turns, and your powers of detection are all over the shop. Now that's clever.

The story is tightly and intensely coiled with emotion as GP Enya Pickering worries about her upcoming birthday—the age at which her mother tragically and suddenly died—and then has to deal with lasting trauma of tending to a road-traffic victim on a cold and stormy night. The storm isn't just literal, it's metaphoric as well.

Well-written and very compelling, I was glad I read another book by this author, as it tipped her into my 'definitely read more of' list. It's a shame she didn't acknowledge her readers at the end, it's always a nice touch.

Dr Enya is driving home when she stops to resuscitate a boy the same age as her own. This sends her into a spiral of emotions and she makes some big changes to her life to avoid confronting what really happened that night. Bring in the rag tree which she hates along with her new community job. The problem I had with this book is I just failed to connect with Dr Enya and her reasons for walking away. Her mom had died whilst swimming in the sea. I did however adore Margaret the property manager for her new home. The story was addictive and easy to read but my lack is compassion for Dr Enya did spoil it somewhat.

After previously reading other books by Cecelia Ahern and enjoying them I thought I would love this one but u fortunately I didn’t. It just wasn’t for me, I will definitely still read her other books as this is the only one I haven’t enjoyed.

Cecilia Ahern is one of THE go-to authors for me. But this one was a little disappointing and I gave it 3 stars.

The main character (Enya) is a GP who drives back to her family during a storm, but she is stopped in the middle of the road by the body of a teenage boy. Enya is traumatised by this experience (not helped by her twat of a husband and detached son), so she’s given the opportunity to run away to rural Ireland where she hopes to start a new life. But obviously it’s not clear cut as her problems don’t disappear.

I was slightly disappointed by the plot and expected more, given my experience of this author’s writing. But this doesn’t remove her from my favourites!

I would say that this is the best Cecelia Ahern book since Ps I Love You. I absolutely adored it and kept me guessing right until the end. I look forward to reading more of her. back catalogue that I managed to miss over the years.

I have read almost all of Cecelia Ahern’s book, so I was keen to get into this one. The story was quite slow in pacing, but it suited the story well and I found myself flying through it. I really liked the main character and also Margaret, who added some humour to the story. Lots of interesting facts were cleverly woven through this. I felt I learned a lot about Ireland and about rag trees without feeling like I was being told about it. I definitely recommend and would love another book featuring these characters. Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers.

I’ve been a fan of Cecelia Ahern since P.S I love you and have read everything she’s ever written.
Into The Storm is completely different to any of her other books and it pleasantly surprised me.
I loved the suspense and mystery but I also loved the Irish mythology and family dramas.
All together very different but an enjoyable read by one of my favourite Irish authors

A wonderful novel that kept me hooked until the very last page. The writing was beautiful, and the plot was both thought-provoking and uplifting. Highly recommended.

If you like Cecilia Ahern you'll enjoy this one. Thought provoking, serious yet light, dark in places but with hope in its heart and with an unseen twist, this will keep fans happy and newcomers will look for her back catalogue.

Unfortunately i was not able to open my edition of this book so therefore cannot review. Apologies but it did not appear in the NetGalley app ands wouldn’t send to my kindle app either

A well-crafted story with plenty to appreciate. The pacing, characters, and plot twists kept me interested throughout. I'm looking forward to seeing how readers respond once it's released!

Cecilia Ahem has long been a favourite author of mine. It took me a couple of goes to get into this book as on first read, it seemed really different from her usual offering. However, once I set aside some time to persevere, I got the hang of the story and was hooked. I have to say that I changed my mind as to who I should believe a number of times. It took some following as there were so many lies and mistruths told by all the characters. An unusual premise for a book but stick with it and you will not be disappointed.
