    About this ebook

    Olivia, Bertucci, and Codman were the trio no one else in high school could quite figure out, an impenetrable triangle of friendship. Now they're graduating and about to start new lives away at college and without one another. Beyond their friendship, there's one thing they have in common: the Circle Cinema, a once-thriving old movie theater now reduced to a boarded up concrete box, condemned and about to be forgotten forever—which is, as far as Olivia and Codman can tell, a lot like what's going to happen to them.

    So in one last desperate effort to hold on to the secrets they share, Bertucci hatches a plan—an experiment, really. He convinces Olivia and Codman to join him in spending their last night before graduation locked inside the cinema's concrete walls. None of them can open the box before sunrise. Over the course of the night, the trio is then forced to face one another, the events of the past year, and whatever is to come when the new day dawns.

    Emily Franklin's Last Night at the Circle Cinema is the story of a friendship's end and moving rebirth.

      There were some things that I really loved about this book - it's a contemporary story filled with characters who are fun to read about because they're full of cleverness, snarky attitude, and creativity. However, amid the playfulness there's also an underlying darkness that naturally follows the rough teenage years as children transition into adulthood, and there's always the possibility that the ending won't be happy - which creates plot tension.If you decide to read this book, I highly recommend that you don't stop and start it (I read it on airplane flights over the course of about 2 weeks). Because the plot doesn't develop in a linear fashion and the story jumps to different periods of time as well as from one character's point of view to another, it makes it difficult to keep things straight if you stop and start like I did. If you can read the entire book within a week I think the story will come together better in the mind of the reader.
