The Last Goodbye by Fiona Lucas
5.0

Oh, my HEART! This. Book.
*sigh*

THE LAST GOODBYE is an achingly wonderful and sweet love story about moving forward and opening your heart after unimaginable loss. This book covers all facets of that grieving process: how it affects friendships, family relationships, romantic relationships, daily life, and one's mental and emotional health.

I loved these characters. Each of them is complex, human, and relatable. And the friendship turned love story is the sweetest sort of perfection.

I listened to this via audiobook and I liked the narrator when she read in narrative voice and as Anna, the main female character. I disliked her reading of the side characters, particularly those with accents and, most notably, her voicing of the male lead. It sounded oddly insincere and affected when she changed to that male voice.
