 Anita de Monte Laughs Last is the perfect book for anyone in the art world, especially women who may feel they don’t belong. 

I was not obsessed with this book, but I did immensely enjoy it. I found myself wondering what may happen next when I wasn’t reading. I really enjoyed the supernatural aspect and all the different POVs. The audio narration was spectacular. Jack’s POV was so well done that, at times, I found myself actually believing what he was saying. Anita and her art felt real; I found myself wanting to Google the art pieces mentioned. 

Good for fans of Yellowface, feminine rage, and dual timelines. 

Thank you Macmillan Audio and Netgalley for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
