One Last Word by Suzanne Park

4.0

Done with being undervalued and overworked, Sara Chae quits her job and takes her app idea with her. Her app allows you to send people in your life one last message upon your death. So you can let them know how you really feel once and for all. On a drunken night with her sister, Sara writes up her final messages to her high school crush, her BFF who ghosted her, and her overbearing parents just as a cathartic release. But when she wakes up, she finds that all her messages were actually sent. This triggers interactions that never would have happened if the messages weren’t sent out. And there’s also a competition to earn funding for her app, glass ceilings to break, and growth opportunities—both professionally and personally.

I really enjoyed this book and liked Sara a lot. She’s headstrong and sticks up for what she wants and how she wants to be treated, but not so stubborn that she can’t see when she’s wrong or empathize with how others feel. It was exciting to watch her stick it to the man and fight for what she deserves.

Thank you, @NetGalley, @AvonBooks, @HarperVoyagerUS, and @SuzannePark for my advanced copy.
