“You may never stop loving the one you lost. But you can still find love again.”

This quote 👆🏼perfectly sums up what The Last Love Note is all about!

I rarely read books about someone losing their spouse because it is my biggest fear, but I kept hearing so many incredible things about Emma Grey’s debut adult novel that I couldn’t help but be slightly curious. I listened to it on audio, hoping it would help me avoid being overwhelmed with sadness while reading this profoundly moving novel.

I knew that the main character, Kate, was grieving the loss of her husband after losing him at a tragically young age, but I wasn’t prepared for how she lost him. I won’t go into the details here because I think it’s an integral part of the story; just know that it made Kate’s loss even more challenging to bear. I honestly can’t imagine trying to survive all that she did.

But there’s another aspect to the story that does not give anything away, as it’s alluded to in the synopsis. I loved this storyline because the author wrote it so that it was apparent to us as a reader, but because of Kate’s grief, she could not see what was right in front of her. It gave me such grand appreciation for Hugh and his respect for Kate, her late husband Cam, and, most importantly, Kate’s role as a single mother.

I recommend reading The Last Love Note if you’re looking for a heartwarming journey on one woman’s journey through love, loss, grief, and, most importantly, learning to love herself.
