One Last Word by Suzanne Park
3.0
Sara created an app called One Last Word where people can write messages to friends and loved ones that are sent after they die. After having no luck with her misogynistic bosses, she quits her job and is accepted into a program that will give her the opportunity to pitch/ develop it on her own. When her new mentor happens to be her high school sweetheart, Sara sets out on a journey to bring her app to life while also following her heart romantically.
I loved how this dived into woman in the tech world and the sexism they face. Along with that, Park brought a lot of Asian culture to the story and highlighted the familial pressure/ expectations Asian women sometimes face. I love how much Sara grew professional as well as how she learned to speak up for herself with her parents. However, while I love a second chance romance, I did not feel the connection between Sara and Harry and thought the rekindling with former best friend was too rushed.
