The Last Goodbye by Fiona Lucas
5.0
Anna Barry unexpectedly lost her husband Spencer, the love of her life, nearly three years ago and is still struggling with debilitating grief of her loss. Her well-meaning best friend Gabi tries to set her up with the perfect man for Anna, but given she's not ready, this seemingly harmless act thrusts Anna deeper into her sadness. So much so that in a low moment, Anna dials Spencer's old number for the comfort of his voice in his outgoing mail message. Except a man answers instead.... what follows is a captivating story of love, loss, growth, grief, and forgiveness.
I loved this book so much. Women's fiction is not generally a genre I gravitate to as I'm not a huge fan of fluffy romance. This was not that at all and I was more than pleasntly surprised. I connected with these characters and felt I was part of their unique story. I loved watching the mystery of Brody unfold. He was by far my favorite character and I very much enjoyed grtting to know him. I was often annoyed with Anna and some of her actions, but learned to understand why. I would highly recommend this if you enjoy characters creating deep connections and coping with loss.
Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for allowing me to read this in exchange for my honest review.
