One Last Thing Before I Go by Jonathan Tropper
3.0

Not gonna lie, I almost DNF-ed this one because the first few chapters are so unbearably dragging.

The introduction of the characters really annoyed the living hell out of me, but I think it was really intentional. The plot isn’t really the most original. It’s one of those books that have a very predictable conclusion, but you stay because of the exceptional writing (except maybe the excessive use of the word “disconcerting”).

I loved how Tropper approaches communication or lack thereof by using complex yet beautifully flawed characters which made them more human and the story more relatable. Even the supporting characters have their own unique personalities and personal struggles that were all presented well throughout the book.

I’m actually looking forward to reading more of the author’s works.
