The Last Thing He Told Me by Laura Dave
3.75
This book was a treat! I expected a mystery, and also got a heartwarming story of found family, selflessness, and love.
From the start, I was quite hooked. The plot started swiftly and maintained a steady pace throughout. There were a couple times where it slowed, but that gave us time to enjoy the blossoming relationship between Hannah and Bailey. I'm a huge fan of character-driven stories, so this gave me a nice mix of plot and people.
While I didn't find the writing particularly complex or detailed, it was easy to follow and drew me in quickly. And Dave gave me just enough information to truly care about the characters without bogging us down with unnecessary information.
Overall, my favorite message in this book is that both good and bad can exist in a person at the same time. I think the author did a fabulous job at giving us an engaging mystery that tugged on the heartstrings at the same time.
