I really liked this. I love the writing and pace. I adore the main character Hannah. It was all very unexpected as I had started this once and then was reminded about it due to the show jogging a memory and then a friend asking if I had seen it. I opened up my bazillion books on audible and started and finish in about 2 sessions. It was just really heartwarming with enough curiosity and suspense to move the pace in an engaging way.
I will be reading her other book(s?) asap

Kept me hooked, but in the end there wasn’t many twists or turns.

The choices of some of the characters drove me nutty, including the main character. It was well paced. I'm honestly undecided about how I feel about it.

This was a fun read - not an amazing read. There were plot holes and annoying grammar but I was looking for something quick and easy to get me out of a rut and this served that purpose well!

(3.5 rounding up) While I definitely wouldn’t classify this as an intensely suspenseful thriller, I liked it all the more for it? Sometimes it’s just nice to just have a more low-stakes page turner than a nail-biter centring around themes of sexual assault, violence, and murder. What I’m saying: if you like your thrillers intense and scary, you won’t find that here.
The Last Thing He Told Me was a really enjoyable, undemanding family drama that threw plausibility completely out the window for a plot that canters along at a nice steady pace. I loved watching the relationship between Bailey and Hannah grow and the whole of this story really centres upon that for me. While the last stretch of this story got a little too far fetched and slightly ridiculous, the whole of the adventure was enjoyable. I never really knew where Laura Dave was taking this.
Am I happy with the ending? Nah, not so much. It felt a little off and mostly set up for sentimental emotional manipulation, a major literary pet peeve of mine. But overall The Last Thing He Told Me was fun with enough twists & turns to keep the reader interested and well worth the read. The honest and touching mother step-daughter relationship taking top marks.
