The Last Thing He Told Me by Laura Dave

5.0

I loved this book! It’s so hard to describe my feelings for it without giving any spoilers (but I’ll try). The story started off gradually, much like Hannah and Bailey’s relationship. I thought their bond grew out of necessity, but Hannah truly became her mother in trying to protect her, which was her father’s wish. I found Laura Dave’s writing both exciting and steady, if that makes sense - it was a page turner but at the same time there was so much to think about within those pages about families and our choices. I surprised myself when I didn’t cry at the end but it was definitely bittersweet. This was a book on my TBR list that I really wish I didn’t wait so long to read because it was fabulous!
