As a reader who enjoy stories that explore themes of grief, second chances at love, and hopeful endings, I had big expectations for "The Last Love Note". It's always been a hit on Bookstagram so I went in with a bit of hype surrounding this story. Grey's novel packs a punch containing a protagonist looking to find love again after a significant loss.
Main character Kate was hard for me to like. As I read, I found myself giving her grace upon grace because of all she's been through. However, there were times when I found her to be a bit dense, which frustrated me. What I think didn't help me connecting to Kate was the clunky timeline. It was just a bit too much back and forth for me.
While this one brought many readers to tears, I was simply thrilled to reach the end and see if I had picked the right love interest (I didn't. I was incredibly wrong!).
