br3nda 's review for:
The Last Thing He Told Me
by Laura Dave
So good!!
This was my first Laura Dave book and I it was so good! Right from the start I was interested in reading more. I could have read this in a day if life's responsibilities did not always get in the way!
I started off thinking this would be a story about the relationship between Hannah and Owen but I soon realized that is was more about the relationship between Hannah and Bailey. All characters, even though we never really "meet" Owen, were well written. I became interested in, and concerned with, their choices and actions. I found myself questioning their decisions, especially Owen's, throughout the book.
The plot seemed to move at a good pace. I never found myself thinking that it was dragging on for too long. The flashback chapters were short and concise, which I liked so that I could be brought back to the present where I wanted to be. I would have liked there to be a bit more to the epilogue. It seemed to make a good story line end with a resolution too easy. Such a complicated few days became an easy few years? I also felt that the four year-old Bailey, easily remembered a lot of details. I think that is too hard to believe but I didn't dwell on that.
I have added Laura Dave to my list of authors to read more of. She definitely has the ability to write a story that can pull you in and keep you for the duration!
Thanks to Netgalley and Simon&Schuster for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book.
