Why read it?

1 author picked The Last Thing You Said as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

The Last Thing You Said is one of those romances for which a happy ending feels utterly impossible—until its final pages.

Further complicating Lucy and Ben’s grief are their romantic feelings for each other, feelings they were only just beginning to acknowledge the day Trixie died. This story is gorgeous and intense; it broke my heart a hundred times before slowly and satisfyingly piecing it back together.
