One Last Word by Suzanne Park

3.0

This was a light romance about an Asian woman fighting for her place in the tech world. 

 

I really appreciated seeing the challenges of being a woman in the bro-ey tech environment. The FMC was never afraid to stand up for herself, and it was great to see her say the things many of us wish we had in our own personal business experiences. 

 

Outside of that, I found the book to be slow and a little boring. The whole premise of the book as discussed in the blurb,

the app making a mistake and sending her postmortem messages while she was still alive

, didn’t happen until nearly a quarter of the way through the book. Since I knew it was coming, I spent a lot of the beginning just waiting for the buildup to stop and the action to start. 

 

There were also a lot of classic cliches built into the romance story, and I found the couple hard to root for. I’m not sure I really liked either of them individually, and was not invested in their success outside of the business. 

 

I was provided a complimentary ARC from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.
