The Last Thing He Told Me by Laura Dave

5.0

This book follows Hannah, who you truly cannot help but love, as she navigates life after receiving a note from her husband Owen that contained only two words: “Protect Her”. Who is this her? His 16 year old daughter, Bailey, who is not a #1 Hannah fan. Hannah soon finds out that her husband wasn’t the man she thought he was. Her life is falling apart around her, all awhile she’s trying to hold it together for the daughter that never really wanted her.

I truly enjoyed both Hannah and Bailey. I loved watching their relationship grow and change throughout the story. I found it very organic and my favorite part of this story. It also shows how deep a mother’s love for their child truly goes, regardless of blood.

This book gave me all the feels. I’m so glad our book club picked it. If you are looking for a quick, page turning mystery… look no further than The Last Thing He Told Me.
