The Last to Let Go by Amber Smith
3.0
3,5 / 5 stars
'The Last to Let Go' has been on the top of my TBR pile ever since it came out, my expectations were sky-high but were unfortunately not met.
I honestly don't have anything bad to say about the writing or the characters in the book, I just found that the story itself didn't mesh with me the way I'd wanted it to.
Summary:
'The Last to Let Go' follows the main character Brooke who is on her way home from her biology exam. When she arrives at the apartment police and ambulances have surrounded the building. Brooke's father is known for being aggressive especially towards her mother and her older brother, and because of that Brooke immediately believes that her father had killed her mother. However, it was the other way around. Brooke's mother is sent into custody and her little sister Callie (who was in the apartment when the incident happened) goes mute and is sent to a psychiatrical hospital. Meanwhile, Brooke and her brother Aaron are sent to live at Jackie's (Their mother ex-best friend) house. Throughout the book, we follow Brooke as she is starting at a new school and meeting new people while having a mother who is waiting for trial, a sister who refuses to speak to her and not fitting in at Jackie's house.
