Emma Grey clearly wrote what she knows in this novel - the lessons and reflections on grief and loss are so poignant they left me reeling.
Kate is struggling. She’s raising her 5 year old son alone after losing her young husband to a debilitating disease. She’s trying to keep her head above water with the help of her best friend and mum, and her understating boss Hugh. Two years after her husband’s death, however, she’s still deeply in the grips of grief and can’t figure out what to do next.
With a little help from the closest people in her life, Kate starts to realize there is more out there in the world for her. She wants to figure out who she is and where she wants to be. Lovely and heartbreaking yet hopeful throughout (with some laugh out loud anecdotes sprinkled in), The Last Love Note gave me all kinds of feelings.
