The Last Word
by Katy Birchall
medium-paced
NOPE.
BLOG || INSTAGRAM
I became increasingly frustrated with this book the longer it went on. There was a reprieve in the middle for a bit where I felt like things were finally jiving and then it lost me all over again.
I hate cheating that can clearly be circumvented in books. And you can tell me multiple reasons why it’s “fine” and it will still bug me. I didn’t like it and wish the FMC of all people would have thought better.
Ryan was occasionally fine. He was pretty sweet and I liked seeing his emotional side too. Some of the flashback moments were cute.
History repeating itself did not work for me. Nor did the poor enemies to lovers banter. It was childish and a bit stilted.
I enjoyed the authors previous book but now I’m hesitant to pick up the next. We’ll see.
Overall audience notes:
- Contemporary Romance
- Language: mild
- Romance: fade to black
- Trigger/Content Warnings: cheating (main couple), brief mention of death of a loved one
