I devoured The Last Love Note in 24 hours on audio thanks to some commutes and a deep desire to know what was in store for Kate, the protagonist. The book appealed to me on the blurb but once I'd dipped my toe in, I could not put this book down.
There was a hilarious start to this book with lots of excellent and witty banter-ish dialogue that set the tone for things to come in the book. Kate was endearing, relatable and loving. There was however, a sad story within, one that made me cry and choke up on a few occasions but the author gently led the reader to those difficult bits in a manageable way.
The characters beyond Kate were wonderful and compelling, especially Charlie, Cameron, Hugh and Kate's mum. It didn't take long for me to adore both Cameron and Hugh. I don't want to spoil a thing but Hugh was all the things to Kate in terms of friendship and loyalty; he wore a cape in a realistic way.
The story felt somewhat roller coaster-ish but that was its appeal; the ups and downs and then the hopes that crept in. It's a story of loving deeply but the hurt that can come with it.
This debut was fantastic. Emma Grey's writing reminded me of Katherine Center's whilst still being all her own signature. I will be following this author to look for future releases and I recommend to all my contemporary romance loving friends.
The narration was excellent and the narrator embodied Kate so well. Dialogue was good and I just slipped into this drama as it played out.
Thank you LibroFM for the review copy.
