The Last Thing He Told Me: A Novel

I really loved this book. It had a great plot I couldn’t put it down. The end was really good tho it wasn’t much it was really great read 10/10 would recommend.

It took me a long time to finish this book. I kept waiting for it to pick up and it just didn’t for me until about the last 30 pages. Even towards the end, it just disappointed me. It was more of let me finish this book than it being a page turner. It was just ok…not what I thought it was going to be.

“Protect her.” – That’s all the note said as Hannah’s husband Owen disappears without a trace, leaving Hannah to fend for his daughter, Bailey. The book is told in the present day, but flashes back to the past as things start to get clearer for Hannah when she realizes that she never truly knew who her husband was. Laura Dave did a good job developing the relationship between Hannah and Bailey and I was happy to see that they finally learned to depend on each other. Overall, it was a good read. It had just enough mystery to keep me coming back for more. I’m definitely going to check out the TV series on Apple+ to see how it compares to the novel.

This book was a good little thriller and I was pretty into the plot and character development. Not a 10/10 but overall a good read!

The first 15 or so chapters were soooo boring. Super painful, almost DNF'd this one. But it was a book-club read so I stuck with it. Really glad I did because it really picks up. And amazing character development. One character that I really wanted to throttle damn near made my cry tears at the end.
Only took away 1 star because the constant flipping of timelines was a little bothersome. I don't mind timeline switches if they are consistent throughout the story (ie. 1 year prior, 5 years prior, etc...) this one is all over the place (2 years, 10 years, 5 days prior, 2 months prior, 10 years forward).
