The Last Goodbye by Fiona Lucas

4.0

Thoughts: Grab your tissues and buckle up for an emotional ride. Fiona Lucas writes such a poignant story of grief, love, and loss that readers will feel it on every page. Anna and Brody are at two different stages of their grief but their friendship comes along at the perfect time for both of them. Anna is struggling to move forward after the loss of her husband over two years prior, and Brody's grief has left him agoraphobic, living in a small cottage in the middle of nowhere with his dog Lewis. This story has total 90's vibes in that Anna and Brody get to know one another via phone chats, and their journey from friendship to something more is incredibly sweet. But prepare yourselves for a very slow burn with this one, and I definitely could've used an epilogue. Totally worth the ride, though -- this is a beautiful story of two people forging a judgement-free friendship grounded in grief and the healing process.
