The Last Time She Saw Him: A Novel by Kate White

2.0

Kiki and Jamie have just called off their engagement. She likes Jamie, but he isn't her person. The problem is they still have friends in common. Their first meeting after the cancelled engagement is at a mutual friends book party. The avoid each other all night but at the end of the party, they exchange pleasantries and Jamie is on his way. Five minutes later, a gun shot is heard and when partygoers investigate, they find Jamie dead of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. The police rule it a suicide, but Kiki isn't so sure. Even if he is no longer her fiancé, she knows he isn't the type to do this out of nowhere. There would have been signs. She decides to investigate but Jamie's family isn't happy with the idea of the woman who broke his heart dredging up old secrets.

I had such high hopes for this book but it just missed the mark. The chapters end on awesome cliffhangers, but when the next chapter begins, the cliffhanger is just brushed away. I found it difficult to read through this one and was unfortunately counting down to when it was over. The author had such a great premise and this story had all the potential to be great, but nothing was done with it.
