The Last Word
by Katy Birchall
The Last Word is a journalism rivalry romance with a lot of heart, passion, wit, mixed with a touch of London flare. Having just been in London only a week ago, I loved being able to visually see where these characters interacted.
Harper is a celebrity journalist who is passionate about her job, and Ryan is just the one annoying guy standing in her way. I loved the way this romance was built around current second chance scenarios and past flashbacks. It felt very much in the vein of Same Time Next Summer meets The Hating Game.
There are a lot of cute little moments and I enjoyed Ryan as a love interest as there's definitely more to him than just a competitor. Theres many wonderful romantic situations that were really sweet.
What frustrated me about the book is that the conflict repeated itself in a way that felt retroactive to the characters growth. I just didn't like how the "history repeats itself" situation was done and handled. I also felt like the book could have had a great conclusion much earlier on in the story, so the ending felt a bit prolonged.
I loved the authors writing style and sense of story, so while this wasn't a home fun, I definitely would not hesitate to read this authors next book because I did enjoy quite a few things about it.
**2 open door more mild with light strong language.
