A review by erinevelynreads
The Last Goodbye by Fiona Lucas

5.0

Three years ago, Spencer, Anna’s husband and the love of her life was tragically killed in a car accident. Despite the best efforts of her friends and family to help her move forward, Anna’s still shattered by grief. On New Year’s Eve, she calls Spencer’s old cell phone number, expecting to hear his voicemail, only to hear a new voice. Spencer’s phone number has been assigned to Brody. Brody is not a stranger to grief, and he becomes the first person Anna can talk to that understands her experience. Through her conversations with Brody, Anna can start moving forward. But Brody has secrets that, if exposed, will threaten their relationship.

This is 100% my cup of tea when it comes to books! It has romance, but also depth and complexity. The story centers around grief and the dark place many people struggle to emerge from when a loved one dies. I cried so many tears while reading this story. It’s such a gorgeous narrative. The story alternates perspectives between Anna and Brody. I fell in love with Anna and Brody and their unique stories and situation.

I highly recommend this for fans of Josie Silver, Me Before You, and Dear Emmie Blue.
