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.
