A review by kristiekat
One Last Word by Suzanne Park

3.0

I want to like Suzanne Park's books more. The premise of her books sound good but the execution is lacking. Her dialogue doesn't sound like how real people would talk. The vast majority of the dialogue is dry. The few funny or clever parts? The author ruins them by explaining her own jokes as if her readers were stupid.

Who are her readers supposed to be? Her characters are supposed to be in their thirties but have the EQ of teenagers. There is character growth in her books but largely because the characters start off so immature that there's nowhere to go but up. Her books have moments of brilliance while others have plot holes so large they're laughable. This one is no different.
