Holy shit, y’all.
When I started this I was almost immediately turned off by the third person perspective writing & almost didn’t finish the story. I’m SO GLAD I stuck through it.
The Last Word is chalk full of twists and turns you’ll never imagine coming. The suspense building is great. The ending is absolutely perfect. Easily one of the better thrillers I’ve read the last few years.
Definitely recommend for anyone that wants a quick paced, heart squeezing, nail biting read!

3.5 rounded up for such a fast start! Do not start this book at night, alone in bed!
Crazy story that loses it a bit in the middle but a fast and wild ride anyway

Oy. This book was pretty painful to read. Funny to give this book a bad rating when the premise of the book is about a writer who stalks a woman who writes a bad one star review about his book! I gave it an extra star though because I do appreciate the way the author writes. I do really enjoy his writing style. But OMG THIS BOOK WENT ON and ON AND ON! It could have probably been at least 75 pages shorter. A lot of predictable plot lines.
And in case you’re concerned and love dogs..

I’m rounding this up to 4.5 stars. I was HOOKED the whole book. I can’t believe I let it sit on my shelf for so long. I predicted a few of the plot twists, but had no concept of how things would actually shake out. It was a perfect, quick-paced, action packed thriller.

This book just took off running and it was pretty fun.
So much action from the first page and I really enjoyed it even though I felt like it was slow in the beginning.
I didn't fully predict what was happening / who the mastermind was at all UNTIL Emma and Deke were having tea. I suspected earlier but I let it go.
Emma did GREAT throughout the story, all the way up til the end. BRAVA

Here’s a scathing review of a book with a main character who gives a scathing review. Until the final acknowledgments that proved otherwise, I genuinely hoped the author designed this as an meta experience for the reader.
This was very bad. Most of it felt like a child telling a story they made up on the spot, or a middle schooler stretching sentences for an assigned word count on a class paper. It had some of the weakest character development I’ve ever wasted time reading. The story-embedded-in-the-story was sloppy and indulgent. It was worse than predictable: parts of it could be guessed in advance and the rest I just didn’t care about one way or the other. The throwaway element of mental illness was cheap and irresponsible.
I feel bad writing a review this bad, but I owe it to myself and the dozen times I muttered “this is really bad” throughout.
Would not recommend.
