One Last Word by Suzanne Park
5.0
Another great story by Suazanne Park about a app developer workaholic who when she finds that her company doesn’t want to continue developing the app she has invested all her time into, she decides to quit and make it work on her own.
Of course, quitting means that she can’t collect unemployment insurance for being out of work, and she has to move into her sister’s place, where she lives in the closet, literally, while she works on bringing here “One Last Word” to market.
One Last Word is envisioned as an app that notices when you die, and sends out notices that you have prewritten, to all your loved ones. Of course, this doesn’t work the way it should when Sara gets drunk, one night, along with her sister, and writes notes telling people to F off, and fun stuff like this, but think nothing of it, because she isn’t dead, and so they won’t get sent out.
Until they do.
There is also a romance in there. And trying to please your parents. And trying to get VC (venture capital) funding in a world where most women don’t get it.
Well written, as always, and quite enjoyable. This book is one I had on my list to buy, and intend to do so when it comes out the 16th of April 2024.
Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.
