THE LAST THING HE TOLD ME - where do i begin?

holy crap this was a wild ride!

read this at the insistence of my mother who was a huge fan of this book and read it over the span of one day.

it's a lot to digest for sure. a bit complicated at times, and a bit fast paced for my taste. i felt like everything was being hurled at me all at once. i felt as if i didn't spend as much time with the characters as was necessary, especially grady.

i thought it was very heartwarming at the end
when bailey finally calls hannah "mom"?? my heart melted aaa
but a bit fast paced. overall a good, fast read for those interested in a mysterious yet heartwarming book about the bonds we make, the bonds we break, and the secrets we keep, even from those we love.
