3.5

Our Last Resort is a mystery thriller with multiple timelines——mainly the present and when the two main characters grew up in a cult. The writing is definitely strong even when it was slow paced. The twist at the end is very satisfying even though I did see it coming. Michallon wrote a well executed suspenseful story of trauma, survival and unconditional love. While I did enjoy this story I do prefer her other novel The Quiet Tenant more. 

3.5 stars!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️💫

Thank you NetGalley, Clémence Michallon and Knopf for an eARC in exchange for an honest review.
