I loved the storyline and the unexpected twists. The history of one character was not what I thought Which was great. I loved that this book highlighted mental health and the importance of speaking out

A little slow but really great in the end. I did really like the book and it was well written. I didn't expect Brody's story.

The Last Goodbye is a well written story about coming to terms with different types of grief and moving on with life afterwards. Our main character Anna lost her husband Spencer three years ago and is still struggling. After having a really hard night she calls Spencer's phone to hear his voicemail greeting one last time... and someone answers. She soon begins a friendship with a man named Brody who listens to her vent and understands her like no one else in her life can.
I loved all of the characters, but I did feel Brody was a bit underdeveloped as a character. I wanted to know more! Fiona Lucas did a great job exploring grief while not letting the book become overly serious.
I switched back and forth between the kindle version and the audiobook while reading. The narrator did an excellent job bringing the story to life.
Thank you Netgalley and Harper Audio for allowing me access to this advanced reader/listener copy!

Loooooottttts of navel gazing. Lots. A well-written book, but a bit of a slog to get to the end.
