The Last Goodbye
by Fiona Lucas
This story was painful and raw, but ultimately a pleasant surprise despite the heavy subject matter.
It is too long and sags a little, but not enough for me to want to give it up at any point. I was actually surprised at my own reluctance to put this book down. It's not a riveting plot by any stretch, but the storytelling is competent enough to engage and sustain my continuous interest.
I was not a fan of the instant soulmate love idea (the main character's first marriage was apparently based on one), although the second time it seemingly happens in the book, it's actually the farthest thing from instant love, which did work quite well.
And I did appreciate the introduction of therapy at least for one of the characters, although most characters here would have benefited from some.
I can't say that the experience was enjoyable (see re. painful and raw), but definitely engaging. I am glad I finally summoned the courage to read this book.
