The Last Thing He Told Me by Laura Dave
4.0
4.75 stars.
"But in the future," he says, "don't say someone is innocent, okay? Say he's not guilty, if you have to say something. But saying someone is innicent makes you sound like an idiot. Especially when most people are guilty as fuck.""
4.7 GLORIOUS STARS FROM ME
We start this book of knowing nothing alongside Hannah, the main character. Her husband left her an extremely cryptic note telling her to protect his daughter, Bailey.
As the story goes on, Bailey and Hannah work together to figure out just who the heck her husband really is and why he is running.
This book was written beautifully, you really get INTO the characters heads and you feel like you are on the journey with Hannah herself...
There are 2 CONS with this book.
1) The book in my opinion could have been about 60-100 pages longer. The story had a lot of build-up, but the explanation and ending didn't entirely wrap it all up for me. I get it's an open ending sort of book, and I won't knock it for that. (hence, the 4.75)
2) The main characters are extremely elaborated, and i love that but every other character, you know literally NOTHING about... You meet the friend Jules about two times, the FBI agents only show up in one page... It seems like it could have been more detailed and written upon more.
Other than that, it was a great book.
