Late Last Night | Lilian Darcy

Title: Late Last Night Author: Lilian Darcy This was a lovely and quick read. It takes place in the '90s and centers around Kate, a high school teacher who is also a nearly full-time caregiver to her brother and sister-in-law's, like, one thousand kids or whatever. She is mentally exhausted and scattered and keeps getting speeding tickets, because she is so distracted as she drives home from work.

I'm still amazed that they turned such a mediocre Book 1 and turned it into one of the best shows I've ever watched. I really enjoyed how Jennings fleshed out the characters and finally brought them together. My head is still spinning. I don't know what to say! This was going to be a three-star book for me, but, like I said, the last third of the book really reeled me in. I have to give it four out of five stars. Well done, Mr. Jen...
