Sam and Ilsa are twins, only Sam is seen as the better half of the pair as Ilsa says. Sam is gay, a high flying musician and has it all going for him.
Ilsa however, is seen by Sam as a carefree party girl where as he feels tightly wound and gets anxious easier.
The pair are hosting a final dinner party for their six friends as they're set to graduate. There's KK Ilsas best friend, Johan whom is Sam's crush, Parker whom is Ilsas ex, Jason Sam's ex, Li another friend of Ilsas and finally a potential boyfriend for Sam found by Ilsa, Frederyk.
At the dinner party, hosted in their grandma's large appartment, Sam struggles to keep control so let's loose by drinking where normally he wouldn't while Ilsa tries to ignore Parkers attempts at reigniting their relationship while she also has a secret to share with the group. There's food aplenty, alcohol antics, a surprise thunder storm, crushes falling for others, kisses randomly happening, spur of the moment life decisions and individuals wanting to be exactly that for once in Sam and Ilsa's cases.
For me it wasn't gripping, it was a quick read though and the final reflection chapter made it for me a better read as we could see a bit more character evolution rather than just judging them from one night's actions but seeing how they've grown over ten years as they revisit the site of their last hurrah.
Many thanks to the publishers for allowing me to review this for them!
