The Last Love Note

Emma Grey

"The Last Love Note" is a heartbreakingly beautiful novel that explores grief without sugarcoating it. I devoured this book in less than 24 hours. The main character, Kate, is left to raise her young son after her husband's death, navigating her own feelings and those of those closest to her. The story follows her journey to love again, with an exceptional leading man.

Emma Grey's first novel, loosely based on her own experience of grief after losing her husband, felt so authentic that it was like receiving counseling through a book, in a positive way.

What a book! It was so good. I love listening to Australian books based in local areas where I live, especially when they don't completely butcher our accents and portray us as unintelligent. The narrator, Leeanna Walsman, did a beautiful job and really captured the right emotions in the novel.

I give it a 9 out of 10 and would highly recommend this novel to anyone who loves a compelling story of overcoming challenges. Emma Grey, I can't wait to read your next book!

This cover is so deceiving. Not the light rom com you might be led to believe from the literal beach pic on the front and instead has you crying ever fifty pages

It’s a great book about finding yourself after a loss and also new romance.

This was a sweet and sad book about life after loss. I enjoyed the way the book jumped between current time and the past. Seeing how Kate navigated her husband’s diagnosis and death; then how navigated life after his loss. I liked seeing the way Hugh supported Kate through the years. And how their relationship progressed. There were some moments that made me laugh when listening. But mostly this was a tender and hopeful book.

Had a LOT of potential but missed the mark for me. I can usually handle different timelines but this was confusing and I feel it would have been a more cohesive story if told in chronological order. Plot is predictable from the beginning. I wouldn’t waste your time with this one.
