I absolutely loved this book. I didn’t want to put it down! Rachael Lippincott did an excellent job with writing about Will and Stella and their battles with Cystic Fibrosis. I loved these star-crossed lovers and their story and would highly recommend this book!

I thought this book had a clue premise. You get a call on the day you are going to die so that you can say your goodbyes, tie up loose ends, and live your life to its fullest. There’s an app where you can find your last friend to spend the day with, and that’s how our main characters, Rufus and Mateo, find each other.

I wasn’t sure how I’d feel reading a book that I know the ending to, but it didn’t ruin it for me. I listened to the book on Audible and enjoyed the narrators.

3.5 stars rounded up to 4.

This was one of my free Audible Original books, and I probably would not have found it otherwise. I loved Zachary Quinto as the narrator. He did a great job and I could totally picture him as Tony Valdez. I think the plot was great, but could have been developed a bit more. It seemed rushed. I can see this becoming a series.

This was a cute love story. I liked all of the characters especially Kristen’s Grandma. I liked Kristen and Cam, but this story was short so their relationship wasn’t as developed as it could be. The narrators did a great job.

I thought the subject matter was interesting, but the narrator was not the right choice for this book. He was too upbeat especially with such a dark topic.

I’m really glad I got this free as an Audible Original. I’m not big into science fiction or books set in space so I wouldn’t have read this if it wasn’t free, but I needed a book set in space for a reading challenge so went for it. The story just wasn’t for me though.

I can’t remember my own name

A stranger arrives in a village in England, but can’t remember her name. She’s lost all her personal belongings in an airport and thinks she’s heading home, but that’s not the case when she gets to the house and someone else answers the door. Tony and Laura are nice enough to take the stranger thing, but who is she? Someone who used to live in their house, a convicted murdered, the daughter of one of their neighbors, or a Russian spy?

“The Last Thing She Remembers” by J.S. Monroe started off great! I was intrigued and really wanted to figure out who this woman was. There was so much potential, but I just found myself confused most of the time. There were a lot of characters, a lot of characters, and a lot of back and forth between locations like England, Berlin, India, and the US. The author also had a few different characters that looked alike to help with the plot, but that just confused me more.

I really wanted to love this book so I kept reading. I figured some of the ending out, but not all of it which was good. I do think this could have been edited to be a bit shorter eliminating some of the external characters which would have made it less confusing.

Thank you NetGalley and Harlequin for an advanced copy in exchange for my honest opinion.
