The Last Goodbye by Fiona Lucas

5.0

I have to say, when I came home to this on my doorstep as an advanced courtesy copy, it came at a time where I needed a positive pick-me-up the most. Little did I know how much this book would resonate with me and take me exactly where my mind needed to be.

WITHOUT ANY SPOILERS, this book is about grief, handling it (or not handling it), and mental illness in the form of anxiety and depression. The universal themes Fiona Lucas used in this book and the way she told each characters story make it such a wonderful read. It’s so EASY to connect to the characters because most of us have been in similar situations or are in them currently. There was nothing dragged or stagnant about this book!

Although I thankfully have not lost my husband, Anna’s journey through grief resonated with me more than any character I’ve ever read. I’m also NOT a fan of gushy, mushy, over-the-top romance, but this book was so realistic and didn’t make me roll my eyes at any moment. I do hope there is more to this story someday
