A review by bookphenomena_micky
Promised Nights by Louise Bay
3.0
3.5 stars
This was a boxset of three shorter stories in a series. The premise for this story is pretty everyday which was quite appealing; three friends, girl in love with boy for forever, boy oblivious until he isn't. However, this has an older feel, as the characters are more mature at late 20s, established in their careers and truly focused on their friendship being more like family. I quickly got drawn into the story and connections.
Both Luke and Ashleigh were likeable characters. Luke lacked some depth and self awareness especially in the first story, but he did seem to develop as a person and a character as the second book progressed. Ashleigh was a little annoying with her self-destruct button, I didn't understand some of her decisions. The books ebbed and flowed, with some parts that seemed to lack momentum. Overall, the series was a good read with characters you could identify with.
A copy of this book was provided by the publisher in return for an honest review.
