Sammy Espinoza's Last Review by Tehlor Kay Mejia
3.0

Thankful that I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. Thank you Netgalley!

The book starts with Sammy Espinoza having a rough time in her life. Her recent girlfriend dumps her, her mom isn't really in the picture, and she feels like this is her last chance to redeem herself at work. So she eventually goes back to her hometown where she meets someone she has to interview but then then it happens to be someone Sammy already knew from her past. Throughout the story, Sammy is healing from a lot of trauma and I like how this story comes to terms with some childhood issues with her mother. However, I didn't really connect with Max or Sammy.
