The Last Goodbye

 

Description

Poignant, hopeful, and full of emotional power, an unforgettable story in the vein of P.S. I Love You about two people learning to love again after great loss, perfect for fans of Jojo Moyes and Josie Silver.

How can you move on if you can’t let go?

Spencer was the love of Anna’s life: her husband, her best friend, her rock. She thought their love would last forever.

But three years ago, Spencer was tragically killed in an accident and Anna’s world was shattered. How can she ever move on, when she’s lost her soulmate?

On New Year’s Eve Anna calls Spencer’s phone number, just to hear his old voicemail greeting. But to her shock, someone answers…

Brody has inherited Spencer’s old number and is the first person who truly understands what Anna’s going through. As her and Brody’s phone calls become lengthier and more frequent, they begin opening up to each other—and slowly rediscover how to smile, how to laugh, even how to hope.

But Brody hasn’t been entirely honest with Anna. Will his secret threaten everything, just as it seems she might find the courage to love again?

My Review

I was drawn to this book because of the mention of PS I Love You, I was in the mood for another book in this same type of vein. Overall, I did like this book but found it moved very, very slow. Although, if you stick with it, the characters do grow on you and you feel for them. This is what happened to me. 

In the beginning, I was feeling this story but then it wavered some. Every time I started to think about stopping this book, it would pick up again for me. This was the vibe for me throughout the whole book. Yet, I was here for the characters. The middle feel a bit flat for me but the last third of the story picked up again and finished off nicely. There are a lot of emotions woven into these characters. While, I might not have "loved" this book, I still liked it and would suggest readers give it a try.
