The Last Thing He Told Me by Laura Dave

5.0

Would you make a deal with the devil if it meant protecting the ones you love? In The Last Thing He Told Me, Hannah Hall was told, “You can’t make a deal with the devil and expect it to turn out okay”. However, she was determined to prove otherwise. Hannah Hall is married to Owen Michales and is the step mother to his daughter, Bailey. As Owen’s daunting past comes to light, the lies and danger that follow him and threaten his family and force Hannah and Bailey to grow through the their reluctant step mother daughter relationship in order to discover the truth together.

This thrilling and realistic story illuminated marriage and family in a creative way that showcased the importance of having a strong sense of self and in doing so, pushed the boundaries of selfishness and sacrifice, leaving the reader heartbroken yet hopeful.
