The Last Word
by Katy Birchall
3.75 stars
If you enjoy rivals-to-lovers with a dose of “he’s been crazy about her all along,” The Last Word is going to be a new favorite.
Typically, I like dual POV in romance because I like to have the insight into both characters. However, in this book, author Katy Birchall absolutely make the right decision and writes the entire story in Harper’s POV. As a reader, you really understand the way that Harper thinks, which can be as charming of an experience as it is infuriating. There were a couple of times during my reading when I didn’t quite see how Harper had gotten to the place that she was, but as a whole, I think the story was entertaining.
Overall, this is pretty minimal on angst, and more comedic in tone. And it definitely feels evocative of books like The Hating Game.
Thanks to St. Martin’s Press and NetGalley for the ARC.
